Andorians
 

Els Andorians són éssers humanoides que combinen característiques de mamífers i d'insectes. Tenen un esquelet intern, però també tenen un exoesquelet limitat, que els hi protegeixen el dors i els costats. Tenen la pell blava degut a que la seva melanina conté un nivell molt elevat de cobalt no radiactiu i porten antenes d'insecte. principalment tenen el cabell blanc, encara que alguns el tenen negre.

El estat andorià s'anomena La Confederació d'Andor, formada per tretze mons, Andoria (Epsilon Indi VIII) és el planeta mare. La resta han estat colonitzats. La Confederació d'Andor és un únic membre a la Federació Unida de Planetes (UFP).

                         Andorians believe in family above all else, even
                         public duty. Their marriages consist of groups of
                         four. These marriages are very complicated, and
                         involve a great deal of ritual. Their families are
                         very large, due to the fact that they are very
                         prolific as well. They are exceptionally good at
                         communications and navigation.

Andoria:

Jem'Hadar.
Els Jem'Hadar varen ser creats pels fundadors del Dominion, els Changelings. El seu paper és de tropes de xoc del Dominion. Normalment, si un món del Dominion viola les regles que se li han donat, el resultat és una visita dels Jem'Hadar. El que assegura és la devastació, massacre i altres perills.

Tene l'abilitat de tornar-se invisibles a l'ull nu, però pden ser detectats per aparells que utilitzin altres rangs d'ones de llum. L'edat a la que es fan adults és de tres o quatre mesos i poden viure entre 35 a 40 anys. Són els millors guerres del quadrant Gamma i rivalitzen amb els Klingon en el quadrant Alpha

Els Changelings els mantenen a ratlla gràcies a una pols blanca, una droga molt adictiva que els hi produeix uns eceftes poc coneguts.

Trill
Els Trill són una espècie simbiòtica que consisteix en un hoste humà i una mena de cuc que hi vui en l'abdomen de l'hoste. El cuc té una vida extremadament llarga i necessita de varis hostes per a continuar viu. L'hote no perd cap de les seves memòries i pot accedir a les del paràsit. Quan és necessari un cambi de cos, després de quatre dies la simbiosi és permanent. Si l'hote mor i no hi ha canvi de cos en 96 hores, el simbiòtic també mor.

Els Trill semblen molt humans, excepte per unes marcas al llarg dels costats de la cara i són úniques per a cada individu.
 

Nausicaan
Els Nausicaans són una raça de humanoides molt alts de cabells peliroijos i amb unes caras de fisonomia molt complicada i poc humana. Fins i tot tenen dificultats quan parlen llengues de la Federació, el què els hi dóna una aparença de ximples que no mereixen. És una de les poques races que són molt violentes i tenen un temperament molt irascible. Molt han trobat feines a la Federació com a guardes o carregadors.

Un encontre casual amb aquesta espècie va resultar pel capità Picard en la pèrdua del seu cor, reemplaát per un biònic.
 

Packleds
Els Pakleds són espècies humanoides que principalment es recorden per les seves característiques de sobrepes. Adopten tecnologia d'altres races, tant si saben com funciona com si no.
 
 
 

ANTICANS

Anticans are a large, furry, sentient, humanoid species native to the planet Antica in the Beta Renna system. They are a carnivorous species that prefers to eat live meat, and do not limit their carnivorous nature to non-sentient species.

Anticans appear to be evolved from a race similar to the Terran Mongoose.

Anticans developed combat reflexes due to their long-standing conflict with their sister planet and its inhabitants, the Selay.

Anticans applied to the Federation for admission in 2364. The Federation helped to resolve a long standing dispute between them and their sister planet, Selay.

ARGOAN

Natives to the planet Argo (what
we call Argoans) call themselves Aquans. They are water breathing humanoid bipeds with webbed hands and feet, several fins, and green hair.

                         They have a prominent dorsal fin which starts on the crown of the forehead and runs back through the scalp and down the back as far as the small of the back. They also have fins on both of their lower legs and both of their lower arms. Their gills are in their necks.

                         They can see very well under the water, having developed nictating membranes that allows them as much visual ability underwater as they had on land. They can live at a reasonably great depth underwater, and can swim like fish.

                         Argoans can live for up to an entire day on land, but must return to water each day for one hour, or they begin to suffer dehydration.

                         Most Argoans (Aquans) hate airbreathers. The few that do not hate them still dislike them. Argo is not currently a member of the Federation.

Argoans are creatures of science. Once their civilization lived on the land, just like Terrans. A planet-wide catastrophe caused virtually all the land to sink under the waves. Aquan scientists developed a serum that would change their race permanently into water breathers, and administered it to all the population in time to save the civilization. This was hundreds, if not thousands of years ago in Aquan history. Now they are all at home in the sea, and blame air breathers (in essence, their ancestors) for the planetary calamity that overtook them.

The Federation has had only one contact with Argoans, and have placed a quarantine on the world to protect both the citizens of the world from unwanted contact from air breathers and to protect their world from unscrupulous traders wishing to capitalize on the Argoan's advanced scientific techniques. The Aquans, on their part, are quite glad not to have any unnecessary contact from air breathers.
 
 
 

AURELIANS

Aurelians are winged bipedal humanoids from the planet Aurelia in the star system Hercules. Their wingspan extends to about 10 feet, and they are excellent aerialists.

Aurelians are very graceful creatures apparently descended from birds. They live in mountainous regions of their world, building their homes in caves that they excavate themselves. They are excellent workers in stone, and some have become famous throughout the Federation for their finely executed sculptures.

Aurelians have feathers on their wings as well as their elbows, knees, chest, and lower torso. They are about as tall as an average to tall Terran. Their bones are hollow, with many cavities which serve the dual purpose of making the bones lighter, but stronger. Their bone structure is still considered delicate by Federation standards.

They are very interested in history, especially Federation history, and make excellent additions to any corps of scientists and/or historians.
 
 

BENZITES

Benzites are inhabitants of the planet Benzar, a class-M planet with a small amount of benzene in the atmosphere. The race evolved needing the benzene to survive, but they do not need large quantities of benzene to survive in terrestrial environments. Only a small rebreather with a benzene cartridge is necessary for survival. The odor from the rebreather would become noticeable only if a Terran should came close to a Benzite.

Benzites are not considered attractive to humanoid members of the Federation. They are also noted for their pursuit of knowledge - a pursuit that led them to petition for Starfleet membership as early as possible. Benzites excel at science and engineering during Academy studies. They will even occasionally take foolish risks in order to retrieve a particularly rare bit of data.

Benzites are excellent at games and computer programming.
 

BETAZOIDS

Betazoids are a race of telepathic humanoids native to the planet Betazed. Their appearance is exactly the same as Terrans. They generally do not start developing their telepathic skills until puberty, when the rush of newly- activated hormones serves to activate previously latent telepathic talents. A few Betazoids are born with telepathic abilities, but they have to go through a different and very intensive psychological experience due to their inability to filter out the "noise" created by normal thoughts.

A few marriages between Betazoids and non-Betazoids have produced children, the best known of whom is Lt. Cmdr. Deanna Troi of the USS Enterprise-D. Children of mixed marriages generally do not get as high a telepathic ability as do full-blooded Betazoids. Lt. Cmdr. Troi only has empathic abilities, although she can communicate telepathically with other Betazoids. Betazoids cannot read Ferengi minds, and there are a few other races with telepathic shields through which Betazoids cannot read anything. Because of their training in the schools of Betazed, they are rarely xenophobic, and can communicate with most any other race at their level.
 

BOLIANS

Bolians come from the planet Bolarus IX. They are a race of bald, blue-skinned humanoids with a prominent ridge running down the center of their heads and bodies. Only young females possess any body hair, and that only on their scalps. They evolved from an aquatic race and are still very at home in the water, although they are fully comfortable on land.

Bolians are staunch allies of the Federation. Several have risen to positions of great importance in the Federation and in Starfleet. Many turn their liability of racial curiosity into an advantage by occupying research or investigative jobs. They have only recently made peace with the Moropans, a rival race, although this peace is fragile one.

Perhaps as a consequence for being hairless, a few Bolians display an odd fascination for humanoid hair, and go on to become hairdressers. Mot, on the Enterprise-D, was one such. Of course, the fact that humanoids often tell their hair dressers things they wouldn't tell anyone else hasn't been lost on them...
 

BYNARS

Bynars are a humanoid bipedal species from the planet Bynaus. They are unique in the Federation, due to their recently revealed link to their homeworld's computer, without which they cannot survive long. Bynars are heavily linked to their computers, and even speak to each other in a form of computer binary language. They always work in pairs for ease of operations. These pairs are electronically linked through a computer network to each other, and they share thoughts to some degree. This computer network, greatly expanded, serves as a framework for their entire civilization.

Bynars are shorter than humans and have paler skin. They have a built-in interface jack to provide them with data directly from most computers. Bynars learn about their interdependence with computers from a very early age. The implantation of the interface jack, which occurs quite soon after birth, is a sort of christening ceremony for Bynars.

Removal of any Bynar from the link to their computer network will cause them injury, and if not replaced within a short period of time, death. They have a very delicate body structure.

Bynars are not very physically strong, but they make up for this by being some of the best computer experts in the known galaxy. They also are some of the best mathematicians known to the Federation. They are organized in psychically linked pairs, in addition to being electronically linked. They are considered to be sexless.
 

CAITIANS

This race walks erect as bipeds, but are descended from creatures similar in some respects to Terran felines. They possess sleek bodies covered with soft fur, which also covers their faces, and hangs about their head like a mane. They have large golden eyes, long tails, and voices with a purring quality. Caitians are extremely dexterous and fast. They are also considered attractive by most humanoid species, and humans seem especially interested in relationships with adult Caitians.

The planet Cait is a normal class-M world within the Lynx constellation. Caitians practice total equality of the sexes, and have throughout their recorded history. Even Caitian names have no gender indicated, so a male child is just as likely to be named after his mother as his father.

Caitians are exceptionally good at communications. They are very cooperative, intelligent, and easy to get along with, as such, they are eagerly sought after as Starfleet crew.
 
 

CHANGELINGS

Changelings are a race of shapechangers from the Gamma Quadrant. They can appear as virtually anything they wish. They must return to their natural form, a gel-like liquid, once every 16 hours. Without this rest, they will find it increasingly harder to maintain the morphed shape. They only need to stay in this "natural" form for one hour.

Their mimicry abilities give them an uncanny ability to duplicate virtually anyone (or anything) they have ever seen. They can change form, shape, size, and color at will, and can do so in just a few seconds.

Combine the above with their Body of Plasm, and they are a very effective double agent, among other things. You would have to know the victim of a Changeling switch -very- well in order to detect their impersonation at all.

The races of the Alpha Quadrant have recently discovered that pieces removed from a Changeling's body will revert to their natural gel-like form. Blood tests are now standard protocol throughout the Federation and Klingon Empire to weed out Changeling infiltrators.

Members of this race can stretch their bodies even while maintaining a regular form. They do not need to eat or drink, at least not in any known manner, and their need of sleep is quite different from normal humanoids. They do not even need to breathe, but their bodies cannot survive in the vacuum of space without a suit of some type.

Changelings have a fanatical hatred of "solids" and have attempted to infiltrate militaries and governments of several Alpha Quadrant races, including the Federation. It is not known how far this process has gone.
 
 
 

CHERONIANS

Cheronians are a humanoid race that are most noted for their two-toned skin. All Cheronians are black on one side and white on the other.

What is important in Cheronian culture is which color the right side of a person is. It is this distinction that identifies which of the two breeds that make up the peoples of Cheron. Black-on-the-Right Cheronians (Sprilak) were considered the "superior" breed, whereas White-on-the-Right (Bojh) were considered the "inferior" of the two. In actual fact, what Federation knowledge exists of the race seems to indicate no discernible difference between the two, except for the opposing skin colours.

As of this Stardate, there is only one known Cheronian in existence after a terrible civil war between the two breeds managed to kill off the entire population of the planet. That individual is called Lokeale, a member of Starfleet. But even he is only half Cheronian (Bojh), with a human mother.

However, there is still some speculation that other Cheronians may exist. It is known that the race did attack and conquer other planets, but it is not known whether any of the Cheronians who fought in these wars are still alive.

Biologically, Cheronians are a very powerful race. Aside from incredibly long life spans (tens of thousands of years!) they also have an organ in their body which is able to create great amounts of energy (similar perhaps to a Terran electric eel) which they can control. The creation of this energy gives Cheronians powerful body shields which even phasers are ineffective against. And it also gives Cheronians the ability to control electronics without physical contact (i.e. pilot ships).

Lokeale, being only half-Cheronian, has shown no signs of these powerful attributes, however, his aging process is much slower than a humans, and his strength, endurance and mental abilities are higher, more similar, in fact, to a Vulcan's.

Cheronians were known to be aggressive and warlike, although not barbaric. They were often conquistadors, but not slaughterers. However, their capacity for hate is what drove them out of existence.

The history of Cheron, which is located in the southernmost part of the galaxy, is a sad one. After countless thousands of years of enslavement of the Bojh by the Sprilak, the two breeds eventually destroyed each other when the Bojh, led by revolutionary leader Lokai, revolted and fought with the Sprilak until everyone on the planet had perished. This event occurred nearly 100 years ago.

Before their extinction, the Cheronians had technology that was superior to the Federation's. Included in their technological developments was the creation of starships that were 'invisible' due to the special materials that the ships were coated in. The Federation has never been able to recover information on this technology because of the mass destruction on Cheron.
 

DELTANS

Deltans are a humanoid species native to the planet Delta IV. All Deltans have a totally bald head, but do have eyebrows. Deltans are also highly developed sexually, so much so that it is said that a normal Terran would be unable to survive a sexual experience with a Deltan. All Deltans wishing to join the Federation on mixed crew ships must take an Oath of Celibacy. This is meant to prevent any unfortunate incidents while on board any Starship. As well as being highly developed sexually, they are also highly developed socially.

Deltans tend to be open and gregarious by nature, and tend to be Sensualists. This can also account for their proclivity towards consensus and cooperation and being team players. They make excellent teachers, athletes, scientists, engineers, Counselors, Helm/Navigation officers, and system specialists.

Due to their overall good nature, they will wish to avoid conflicts unless they see them in a constructive sense. Deltans can and will defend themselves excellently with either bare hands or weapons. They enjoy most sporting forms of combat, but do not make good Security officers.

Deltans generally live in group/line families and are intimately attuned to each other and the psychological whole. This leads to having an empathic dependency, so that Deltans serving on a mixed crew ship always want at least one other Deltan on board. If this number is larger, they prefer to be quartered together, commonly in modified quarters either connected or communal in nature.

Deltans also have a pheromone control system in their bodies which allows them to produce pheromonal chemicals naturally. It is assumed that this system is used during normal courtship rituals between Deltans, but they can also control other pheromones besides the erotic-enhancing ones.

Among the pheromonal abilities of a trained Deltan is the ability to produce a pheromonal chemical which seems to reduce pain in most humanoid races. Deltans generally produce the pheromone associated with sexual arousal on a day-to-day basis. They are usually considered very attractive physically as well. This makes for bad psychological effects on members of a mixed crew ship. Generally, Deltans do not serve on mixed crew vessels in Starfleet. Those that do take the Oath of Celibacy so as to not take advantage of any sexually immature species. Their Oath of Celibacy only applies to species considered by them to be sexually immature (which currently includes Terrans).

Deltans serving with mixed race crews often chemically alter their pheromones with a special chemical application.
 
 

DENOVIANS

The Denovians are from the world Denova 3 and are very similar to Terrans in appearance. They all have a skin tone of dark brown to black with dark hair and eyes that are fully black with no iris.

Denova 3 has only had warp drive for less than 150 years and on the Richter Scale of Cultural Development, Denova 3 would be classified as being a J culture, the Expansion Age.

The Denova system is located in the Alpha Quadrant, near the edge of Federation explored space. Denova has not joined the Federation, however, wanting to keep their autonomy for the time being.
 
 

DENOVIAN CYBORG

On Denova 3, convicted capital offenders are given the opportunity to serve in the planet's military as cyborgs. After their executions, their brains are removed from their bodies and surgically implanted in a small metal "brain-box" complete with external interfaces. They can be kept alive indefinitely in these boxes, but are put to use by being installed into several different cyborg chassis. There are several different models used by the Confederation Army, including bipedal infantry models, quad-pedal tank-like anti-aircraft models, small quad-pedal recon models, and many more for different applications. The cyborgs are required to complete basic training, those who don't make it are unplugged.

Cyborgs have been in use in the Denovian armies for over 100 years, with more advanced models (and surgical techniques) being developed over that time. Their armies consist mostly of normal Denovians, with cyborgs playing pivotal roles.

Although there are few who survive this long, after 25 years of military service with good conduct, a cyborg is allowed to retire. They are given older, reconditioned chassis for their civilian use. These models are normally outdated and have all of their weapons disarmed and removed.
 
 
 

DOLPHINS

Atlantic and Pacific bottlenose Dolphins, respectively, are one of the truly rare Federation races which developed to a very high degree of sentience and sophistication as a fully aquatic race with no fine manipulators of any kind. Their story has resulted in considerable embarrassment for the Federation.

By the time Terran Cetacean Protection Acts were enacted in the late 21st century, most of the larger breeds of cetacean were extinct. Surviving cetaceans, such as dolphins, were officially protected, and while some in the scientific community believed they were intelligent, all attempts at communication with them had failed. Eventually, Terrans discovered space travel, and devoted their energies to communication with extraterrestrial humanoids.

This situation changed drastically in 2286 when an alien Probe of unknown origin came to Earth and began broadcasting a signal to its target race, the by-then extinct humpback whale. When no answer was forthcoming, the Probe boosted its signal to such a degree that planetary destruction was imminent. Thanks to the timely intervention of the crew of the Enterprise-A aboard a commandeered Klingon vessel, a breeding pair of humpback whales, "George" and "Gracie", were rescued out of time from extinction, and the Earth was saved from the Probe.

The origins and message of the Probe remain a mystery to this day, but careful analysis of some of its signals proved to be the key to opening communication with some of the cetaceans of Terra. Contact had been previously elusive before due to the great sophistication and highly alien nature of the cetacean mind. Meaningful communication with the now-refurbished race of humpback whales still eludes Federation scientists, but it has been established with Dolphins, who are now full members of the Federation. The fact that the Federation had made contact with hundreds of intelligent species, while overlooking several on its own capital world, has proved a severe embarrassment, and a source of much ridicule and propaganda from the Cardassian Union and the Romulan Star Empire, among other places.

Dolphins neither have nor desire the capacity to manufacture advanced technological items, but they are very keen to work with the Federation and the voice-activated, water-resistant equipment it can provide. Because they are highly sophisticated and live in a three-dimensional environment, Dolphins have proven to be some of the galaxy's most accomplished navigators, surpassed only by the Medusa. However, the practical difficulties of working with Dolphins are only slightly less great than those of working with Medusa, so they do not serve in Starfleet to a degree commiserate with their ability. Nevertheless, an elite group of twelve dolphins comprises the Guidance and Navigation research team for the Galaxy-class starship project. Other Dolphins may be found working for Starfleet in other capacities.
 
 

EDOANS

Edoans are a slightly more recent addition to the Federation. They walk upright and are tripedal, possessing three arms and three legs. They have round yellow eyes, and a concave, structured head. Their skin is a strange orange hue, and is completely hairless. Edoans are among the best tool makers in the Federation, due to their sensitive hands and great dexterity. They are very meticulous about detail, and make good scientists and technicians.

The Edoan homeworld is class-M, in a system with a few small terrestrial planets, and no gas giants. Edoans are very reserved, and prize privacy. They tend to be very shy and introverted, and make few close attachments.
 

EL AURIANS

El Aurians are a very rare and mysterious race about whom very little is known. In form they are standard humanoids who display a broad range of racial phenotypes, comparable to Terrans. Their homeworld was probably somewhere on the borders of the Beta and Delta quadrants. El Aurians first became known to the Federation in the late 23rd century, after their homeworld was destroyed by the Borg, although there is evidence to suggest that individual El Aurians had visited various Alpha and Beta Quadrant worlds (including Earth) before the founding of the Federation! The few surviving displaced El Aurians have found their way into the Federation and the ranks of Starfleet, although seldom if ever in positions of importance. They seem to prefer to operate quietly in support positions.

Much of this seeming reticence comes from the El Aurian racial character. They appear to be natural lore-keepers, and use their phenomenal lifespans and memories to collect the stories and life experiences of various sentient beings. They preserve this knowledge for their own kind, and only occasionally share it with non-El Aurians. They are a highly personably and empathic race, and as such are very willing to help other sentients work out their problems, especially if the end result is a good story for the "good listener"! Possibly as an offshoot of their prodigious memories, El Aurians are extraordinarily sensitive to disturbances in the space/time continuum, and will usually remember the original version of history if a change is made in time.

Although they can fight when necessary, El Aurians are by and large a docile people. The behavior of Dr. Soran in 2343 which resulted in the destruction of the Enterprise-D should be consideredhighly atypical. They are actually capable of ageing, but not in any meaningful humanoid sense.
 
 

TELLARITES

Tellarites are natives of the planet Tellus. They appear to have evolved from swine-like animals which are still native to that world.

Tellarites are basically humanoid, but with a pinker skin tone than human caucasians (due to higher blood pressure). They have more facial and body hair than humans, with hair covering all but the frontal face and hands. This hair is not thick, like animal fur, but is more reminiscent of a hairy human.

Their homeworld has a thinner atmosphere than Earth, leading to overdeveloped nasal openings, which have been compared to the snouts of Terran swine. Tellarites take immediate strong offense to such comparisons. They have better hearing than normal, and night vision.

Tellarites are racially suspicious, argumentative and brash, at least by Terran standards. Those who trust too much or give in too easily are considered weak fools in their society.

Tellarites, needless to say, make poor diplomats. They enjoy good arguments, and a merchant's bazaar on Tellus is a lively place.

Tellarites make good engineers, scientists and terraformers, and make excellent legal representatives. They prefer intellectual discourse to physical confrontation.

Tellarites are very fond of good food and drink - and a lot of it. Fortunately, alcohol has little adverse effect on them - it only makes them even more stubborn. Nevertheless, they are capable of going twice as long without food or water as the average Terran, since they carry an extra abdominal roll of fatty tissue. This abdominal tissue makes them look portly, but such is natural for a Tellarite, and they can, in extreme cases, live off of this fatty tissue
for quite a while. Generally, though, they'd rather
not skip meals.
 
 

TRIBBLES

Tribbles are small furry fuzzballs about 6 inches in diameter. They are warm-blooded bisexual mammals capable of reproducing at an incredible rate. In fact, they are born pregnant. They will not have the energy to reproduce without food, however. A  erum to negate their reproductive abilities was discovered by Dr. Leonard McCoy, and now they are quite common pets throughout the Federation. Tribbles enjoy humanoid company, and will purr if content. For some unknown reason, Tribbles do not like Klingons, and will shriek loudly if even exposed to one. Tribbles will return the affection shown them by humanoids by somehow empathically projecting feelings of peace and relaxation.
 
 

YRIDIANS

Yridians are a gnomish race of aliens whose skin color varies in hue from ochre to lavender. They have deeply wrinkled skin, a vestigial nose, and very large, pointed ears. The skin on their scalps is deeply furrowed down the back of their head. Many are
bald, some have a wild shock of lavender hair.

Yridians are a race that deals in information. They have had some dealings with the Federation. All of the ones that have been documented have been about selling information regarding the UFP to other parties. Some members of this race are wanted by the Federation for questioning. Very little other than this is currently known, although an enterprising crew could probably convince the Yridians to sell information about themselves to the Federation.
