Argrathi

The Argrathi are a sapient humanoid species from the planet Argratha, in the Gamma Quadrant.

Biology
Argrathi are humanoids with light green skin and dark hair. Unlike Humans, it appears that Argrathi males cannot grow facial hair.

Culture and society
Argrathi are notable for their judiciary system which punishes criminals by implanting elaborate memories of incarceration. Criminals may be detained for no more than a few hours and still experience what they perceive as several years of imprisonment. The result is the same, psychologically, as the fabricated memories are real enough to be potentially traumatic, and the procedure spares the costs of maintaining actual prisons.
