I am envisioning a space faring species, evolved from an obligate carnivore and apex predator.

The obvious concept to me is a tiger like species with prehensile tails that became increasingly adapted to tool use. However if you want to create an answer based on a different origin that is fine, as long as the origin remains an apex predator that once hunted using first and foremost speed and strength. If it is at all workable according to your theory, members of the species should enjoy hunting and still be capable of it in it's original form.

An ideal answer will address

* Traits of social groups
* Likely forms of governance (or why there wouldn't be any)
* How they might be able to become space faring despite (or because of) the above
* Moral foundations/principles
* Religion(s) (or why there wouldn't be one)
* Anything else that you expect to be an interesting outcome of this evolutionary background

**Edit:** A point of clarification since a common response is along the lines of "This isn't plausible". Firstly I'm aware it's not plausible, the question is not about the plausibility, but is a what if type of question. Secondly, if you are not satisfied with a solitary society, neither am I, the question states **Evolved From solitary** - not - **Still is solitary at point of societal formation**. Within that framework, whilst it's more interesting to me for them to remain fairly solitary, answers that invoke a reason and time period for better societal cohesion are fine. I hope that clarifies.
