Acamar
III
|
The people of Acamar III finally forged peace a century ago
after generations of bloody clan wars. One group of various clansmen who
couldn't accept the new peace, the Gatherers, broke off to prey as
marauders upon neighboring trade routes and outposts; they rejected
amnesty until Captain Picard helped force the sides into talks and a
truce circa stardate 43422. Humanoid in appearance, they have a
distinguishing vertical crease in their forehead above the nose and an
almost ornamental skin coloration on one cheek. Their blood is a rare
iron-copper composite unique to them. Their science is advanced enough to
download data to the U.S.S. Enterprise by subspace link. Income taxes and
plenty of police bureaucracy are standard fare there.

Acamarians
|
Humanoid civilization from planet Acamar III. The
Acamarians enjoyed peace for the past century, with the exception of
Acamar's nomadic Gatherers, who left their homeworld to become
interstellar marauders. These people appeared largely human with
the exception of a facial cleft in their foreheads. They are also
notable for individualized decorative facial tattooing. Acamarian
blood is based on an unusual iron and copper composite, making it readily
identifiable. Within Acamarian culture, membership in a clan is
considered of great social and political importance, and conflicts between
the various clans often became violent. One such fued, between the
Lornaks and the Tralestas, lasted some three centuries, and ended only
after the last Tralesta was dead. The Acamarian government, headed
by Soveriegn Marouk, extended an offer of reconciliation to the renegade
Gatherers in 2366. The negotiations, mediated by Jean-Luc Picard,
were eventually successful.

Medical
procedure that uses genetic re-coding to alter the brain of a humanoid
patient. it is illegal under laws dating back to the end of the Eugenics
war. These laws are based on the argument that if the genetically enhanced
people were allowed to compete freely, all parents would feel pressured
to have their children enhanced so that they could keep up.

Akira class
star ship
|
The Akira class is a relatively large type of starship with
heavy armament. The warp pylons are swept downward and are affixed at
their upper ends to two catamaran-like secondary hulls which run into the
top of the saucer section. A weapons module is located at the top between
the two secondary hulls. The Akira has two shuttlebay doors at the rear
and one central door at the front end of the saucer.

Aldea
|
An ancient humanoid culture considered a myth by outsiders,
thanks to a planet-wide shield and cloaking device operated by the
age-old computer Custodian, until discovered by the Galaxy-class Enterprise on star
date 41509. Over the last 30 years or so (as of 2364), the long-term
shield interfered with the planet's ozone layer, causing radiation to
leak through the layer and subsequently sterilizing the natives. The
chore-saving Custodian freed Aldeans to reject materialism, turning to a
code of square dealing to pursue arts and other interests -- including
data on galactic areas yet unknown to the Federation. However,
over-dependence on the Custodian led Aldeans to an atrophying of science
and engineering skills. Not only have the natives lost touch with areas
such as calculus and energy generation, but doctors and scientists have
been mystified by the health problem. After rescuing young hostages taken
by the Aldeans to repopulate their world, Captain Picard pledged
Federation aid to restore the culture to health as the people vow to
change their ways.

Andoria
|
Humanoid Federation members are blue-skinned in appearance
and have bilateral antennae and characteristically white hair. Andorians
are self-described as a violent and warlike species. No members of this
Federation race were aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D when
Data's offspring, Lal, was "born". Lal rejected an Andorian
female as one of four final choices for a racial type, instead opting to
become a human female. Apparently, according to Data on stardate 43657.0,
Andorians engage in group marriages of four as a rule. However, most of
what is known about this race is scattered. Andorian renegades, in the
Triangular system , it is said once embarrassed a Starfleet admiral's
supposed search when they hid their ship by dismantling it. An Andorian
was present at Risa when Captain Picard vacationed there on stardate
43745.2, and also an Andorian group bid for Tellurian spices offered by
Kivas Fajo on stardate 43872.2. This Federation member-race was the
subject of some kind of gender-swapping joke by Quark that Morn was slow
to catch; the punchline was "and the Andorian says, 'Your brother? I
thought it was your wife!'" Andor is among the many planets
providing a registry home to numerous ships that use Deep Space Nine.
Their variety of silk is prized for its softness. Andorian jewelry is
highly collectible and is not usually available on Deep Space Nine -- one
of Quark's would-be expanded sales items by inter-station monitor.
Chirurgeon Ghee P'trell, an Andorian, was nominated for the Carrington
Award in 2371.

Andorians
|
Humanoid civilization from the planet Andoria (Procyon
VIII). (Prophet Motive -DS9). Andorians somtimes describe
themselves as a passionate, violent people. Their appearance is
characterized by beautiful blue skin and a pair of antennae on their
heads. Members of the United Federation of Planets, an Andorian
delegation journeyed to the Babel Conference of 2267 aboard the Starship
Enterprise. The Andorian contingent include Ambassador Shras and
staff member Thelev. (Journey to Babel -TOS). Andorian marriages
generally require groups of four people. (Data's Day -TNG).
Andorians were also seen in Whom Gods Destroy -TOS, in the Federaion
Council chambers in Star Trek IV, and were glimpsed in Captain's Holiday -TNG and The Offspring -TNG. Renegade
Andorians were mentioned in The Survivors -TNG

Angosia III
|
Civilized humanoids of Angosia III, typically thoughtful and
intelligent. Due to their pacifism in matters of fighting, they used mind
control and biochemicals to create the ultimate fighting soldiers to win
their Tarsian War, which has subsequently past. Peace time, however,
found the Angosians unable (or unwilling to take the time) to reverse the
effects of these alterations. After several incidents involving these
violent soldiers, the fearful Angosians voted to banish the soldiers to a
penal colony on Lunar V. Shortly before stardate 43489.2, however,
escapees broke free to take over the capital city, demanding they receive
help to be able to return to their homes. The veterans don't attack
unless provoked, but they are programmed to survive.
|
|
Angosians
|
The humanoid residents of the planet Angosia III.
Nonviolent by nature, the Angosians had dedicated thei society to the
development of the mind and the cultivation of the intellect.
However, in order to fight their Tarsian War in the mid-24th century, the
government chemically altered their military, converting them into
'supersoldiers' who were able to survive at any cost.
Unfortunately, when the war ended, the 'improvements' made on the
soldiers were found to be irreversible. These veterans were imprisoned
on a penal moon, Lunar V, because they were deemed too dangerous to
return to Angosian society. The Angosian government applied for
Federation membership in 2366, but the application was suspended by
Jean-Luc Picard, pending resolution of civil unrest resulting from the
Angosians' inability to repatriate the veterans.

Anticirca
|
One of two quarreling races from the Beta Renner system,
Anticans are marked by their canine-like faces, leathery skin and
enlarged rear craniums. Although mostly bald, they have shaggy sideburns,
mustaches and eyebrows that descend into long streams. They are
carnivorous, demanding fresh live meat for almost every meal. They went
hunting for arch-enemy Selay with looped weapons during their U.S.S.
Enterprise NCC-1701-D trip. They call the humans' use of materialized
meat barbaric and emit a continuous raspy, breathy sound. Though not
currently a Federation member, the species has been involved in
interstellar travel for some time, at least since the 2320s.
|
|
Anticans
|
Large, furry, sentient humanoids from planet Antica in the
Beta Renner star system. Anticans are a carnivorous species who
prefer to eat live meat. The Anticans applied for admission to the
Federation in 2364. The Enterprise-D transported their delegates to
planet Parliament to help resolve a long-standing dispute with sister
planet Selay as part of the admission process.

|
Humanoid civilization that is a member of the United
Federation of Planets. The Arbazan ambassador, Taxco, visited station Deep Space 9 in
2369 on a fact-finding mission to the wormhole. Federation
ambassador Vadosia expressed an opinion that Arbazan are sexually
repressed, to which Taxco
took great offense.
|
|
Arbazans
|
A humanoid race (pronounced "ARR-buh-zahn"),
mostly distinguished in appearance by a high forehead hairline. The word
is used as both the adjective and with "the" as the noun for
the natives. They are Federation members who (rumor has it) are a
"sexually repressed" species. Their ambassador Taxco is one of four Arbazans visiting
the Bajoran wormhole on a fact-finding mission circa stardate 46925.

Archons
|
Name given by the humanoid inhabitants of planet Beta III to
crew members of the Starship Archon. The ship was destroyed in 2167
by the Beta III planetary computer called Landru. In the process,
many Archon crew members were killed but others were absorbed into the
planet's society and became part of the Body, a tranquil but stagnant
population.

Argelius
II
|
Despite the hedonistic nature of the natives of Argelius II,
their planet has long known as a friendly shore-leave spot for Starfleet
-- even after the murderous Redjac entity was discovered there in 2267.
Over a century later, Quark wondered about putting an Argelian massage
facility in Garak's old storefront if he didn't want to reopen his shop.
|
|
Argellians
|
Peaceful humanoid civilization from planet Argelius
II. Formerly a violent people, the Argelians underwent a social
upheaval in 2067 they called their Great Awakening, in which the society
turned to peace. In 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise visited the planet
for shore leave. During their stay, Montgomery Scott was extradited
for the murder of two women. Having no current laws regarding
murder, the Argelians were forced to rely on their brutal ancient codes
established before the Great Awakening.
