Irken Females

Irken Females
The topic of this article is biologically female Irkens.

Cloning and Irken Females
While the use of cloning has taken the place of natural reproduction a certain number of female Irken clones are created in case the cloning vats are destroyed or malfunction. In such a case the female population will be needed to keep the Irken species going.

Irken's no longer have biological females
Cloning has made the production of females unnecessary and thus no Irken is created as a female, rather certain PAKs have a female personality which leads to feminine (possibly sexless) Irken clones.

Eggs
Irken's are naturally egg layers much like insects or reptiles which is why the 'birthing' of clones is done in the fashion of breaking an egg.

Queens
Irkens use to be govern by Queens, which is why Irken PAKs carrying a female personality tend to have an accent. The Control Brain caused the need for them as governors to diminish, and with more and more male clones and tall warriors tending to have a greater view of battlefields and thus a tactical advantage over shorter Irkens eventually lead to the current social shift where Irken society is ruled by the Tallest.
