Weird, somehow I’ve never heard of this species or seen one in another Star Trek series. From a cursory internet search that might be because I’ve never seen Star Trek: the Animated Series.

A big part of science fiction is how fictional technology and environments of the future that would seem very strange to us are completely normal to them. I agree that this should also extend to society itself and its speculative future progress. In the same sense that a character wouldn’t find a replicator to be strange technology it wouldn’t make sense to treat someones sexual orientation or gender to be strange if it is a social issue that was supposedly a thing of the distant past. I find that a lot of 21st century social issues seem to find their way into modern Star Trek in ways that don’t make a lot of sense.
It will be interesting to see how bad they botch Three Body Problems US adaptation.
What about this one?
The weird 6 layer chess they have is just as baffling.
Edit: I did find this page though that explains it in great detail. http://meder.spacechess.org/3dschach/chess3d.htm

I’d like to know what the game even is. Is it necessary for the 3 screens to be rotating at all times? Perhaps that is just part of the challenge.
Hilarious. Thank you.
How could translators possibly know what is a proper noun and what isn’t in an alien language?
