The highly patriarchal DJringlin are the race most people think of when Planet Keta is mentioned. More specifically, people think of the DJringlin Pirate Clans. The Clans have ruled the planet for eight centuries, by the doctrine of 'the strongest shall rule'. The typical DJringlin has a rather Machiavellian 'that which does not kill me makes me stronger' attitude. Keta is a rough place, and the DJringlin are equally rough. The Clans constantly squabble for their own place in the pecking order. The strongest Clan rules out of a monstrous battle station/warship known commonly as 'The Dreadnaught'. Since 400AD, the inhabitants of Keta were aware of a mysterious gargantuan forty-plus kilometer long vessel in orbit. The DJringlin called it Tae'DJu-Khembris or "The War Chariot of Khembris" (Khembris is the chief DJringlin War god). Technology began a rapid advancement in 1866AD, when the first DJringlin astronauts landed on the vessel, and were met by a 10 foot (3 meter) tall armored being calling itself D'Krieg Ronet, or "master's manservant". A technological era was ushered in on Keta, led by D’Krieg Ronet, who to this day, rules Keta aboard the vessel, often commonly known as The Dreadnaught. The strongest Clan is currently Clan D'Kaha, lead by Patriarch Yhorak D'Kaha, descendent of one of the astronauts who first landed on the Dreadnaught.

Prior to the rise of the Clans in the late 1800’s, the DJringlin were governed by a caste and guild system. Individuals were tested at an early age to see what they had potential for –soldiering, politics, science, religion, etc- and then sent to live at the guild most suited for their training. After the Clans took power, the caste system mostly faded away to obscurity and nostalgia. The clans are very mixed now, and some long for the return of the caste system.

In 555AE, the Aquillan Imperium gave 25 of their old Ulysses Class Capital Cruisers to the DJringlin as part of a non-aggression pact. The pact included 55 other, smaller ships, and the terraforming of the larger of Keta's two moons, Lathan, to be used as farmland. In return, the Aquillans got free passage on Keta and immunity from Pirate Clan attack. Uneasy feelings were widespread regarding this pact.

Female DJringlin have separate, more private housing, facilities and training centers here. DJringlin men and women work separately, train separately, and even go to war separately. The only traditionally appropriate places for males and females to interact in DJringlin society is in the privacy of the male’s home or in a public place for consuming food or drink. DJringlin even have gender-segregated places of worship.

An influential male will have a harem of females, and dozens of offspring. The entirety of the clan helps in the child rearing process. DJringlin men like their females docile and submissive. Many females who cannot be tamed are cast out of their Clan and sent to the Du’DJok Corps, a fighting battalion of fierce females sworn to no man and no Clan, but avowed to fight for the benefit of Keta above all else. These women find purpose patrolling dangerous areas and are often the first to die in combat.
