Deriada

The Deriada were one of two Tirikkin cultures that developed on the colony world Beroutz. They were obsessed with warfare and hunting, around which they developed their society. They dwelt in semi-permanent villages on forested mountains, each ruled by a chieftainess (their society was matriarchial). All chieftainess ultimated answered to a queen. They considered the Mousa inferior, weak fops.

In 820 BBY, Patrev forcibly married the Deriada queen. She bore him three Thayolen/Tirikkin hybrids: G'ye, Alabri, and Arpel, who were considered Deriada royalty due to their mother. Following the murder of the Deriada Queen in 802 BBY, her three children took over the entire planet in a three-year war, establishing the G'ye Cult, which severely altered Deriada culture. The Cult declared Arpel the "goddess" of the Deriada and forced them to worship her. The Deriada were forced to live by the Cult's laws. The Deriada were forced to send their healthiest daughters to be trained as huntress-warriors in the Cult's armies, and their most handsome sons to be used as living prey in Arpel's huntes. Any Deriada who resisted Cult authority would be hunted as prey by women from his or her own village. Intervillage trade and travel was also regulated by the Cult.

Many Deriada drew on their hunting skills and wilderness lore to form an armed resistance in 783 BBY, led by Didama Deriada and her husband Alkeri. The following they overthrew the Cult with the aid of the Jedi and Prince Algyd of Hellenes Gracca.

Following the disollution of the Cult, the Deriada's reverence for women led to women having the same rights as men according to the framework of the consitutional monarchy which united Beroutz and Hellenes Gracca.
