Romulan	The Romulans are a secretive people who were originally part of the Vulcan race. Unlike their Vulcan cousins, the Romulans remained a passionate people with an absolute certainty of right and wrong, who is a friend and who is an enemy. Romulans are not as violent as many Federation enemies such as the Jem'Hadar and frequently try to learn more about their enemies before making the first move in a hostile situation. The Romulans aren't as openly aggressive as the Klingons or as passive as the Vulcans, instead attempting to keep themselves and their technology hidden from their enemies. Home World: the twin home-worlds Romulus and Remus in the Beta Quadrant.
NO IMAGE AVAILABLE Solaxin	The Solaxis race evolved on a planet that had very intelligent predators. Because of this, they are a very close people. Through their history, crime is almost unheard of, and civil war is unthinkable. Their minor telepathic powers never faded. 400 earth years ago, the Borg destroyed the Solaxis homeworld. Several Solaxis ships were able to flee. Their society became nomadic, but they still longed for a home. About a thirty years ago, they wondering brought them into first contact with the Federation. The Federation, seeing the plight of the Solaxis, helped them find a planet to settle on. Home World No home world, assimilated by Borg
Species 8472	Species 8472's origins lie in 'fluidic space' - a higher dimension which is apparently composed liquid rather than the empty space of our own universe. 8472 are the only species in their dimension, and had no conception of other lifeforms until the Borg invaded their territory. Unfortunately - for the Borg - species 8472 have an incredibly efficient immune system; any form of biological or technological intrusion into their tissue is instantly rejected and destroyed. This renders them immune to Borg nanoprobes, and hence incapable of assimilation. In addition, their dense structure is highly resistant to many forms of energy such as transporters and weapons. Physically, species 8472 has a roughly humanoid head and torso on a tripedal base. There is a mouth but they do not communicate by speech, instead relying on telepathy. The extent of their telepathic abilities are unknown, but are thought to be very long ranged, perhaps even trans-dimensional. Beyond this little is known about this enigmatic species - few have survived a close encounter long enough to gather comprehensive data! Even less is known about the culture and philosophy of species 8472. In the one known telepathic contact with them the message 'the weak shall perish' was transmitted; although worrying given their numbers and level of technology, the outlook of a whole species can hardly be judged from one contact with one individual. For the moment contact with 8472 has been broken off after their retreat back into their own space at the end of the war with the Borg. Homeworld The Dimension of Fluidic Space
Tellarite	A humanoid species distinguished by a porcine-like snout, stout build, deep set eyes and a characteristically irascible disposition. One of the Founding worlds of the Federation, they are major contributors in the fields of metallurgy and structural engineering. Tellarites are known for being among the best architects and starship wrights in the Federation. Tellarites have a natural predisposition for belligerency and have raised debate and oration to a new level or art. Tellarites are around 1.5 meters tall with a snout, deep-set eyes, and thick fur. Home World Tellar in the Alpha Quadrant
Trill	The Trill are a unique joined species from the Alpha Quadrant composing of a vermiform symbiont and a humanoid host. The symbiont lives many lifetimes with the benefit of remembrance, knowing that in all likelihood they will survive beyond the lifetime of any individual host. The relationship between the Trill symbiont and its humanoid host is complex. A joined Trill integrates the personalities of the host and the symbiont, while retaining memories and personalities of all the other hosts with whom the symbiont joined with previously. Home World: The planet Trill in the Alpha Quadrant
Tholian	Crystalline race renowned for it's punctuality and highly territorial nature. They come from a world somewhere near the Federation/Klingon border. The Federation has had a longstanding conflict with the Tholians over several dozen star systems near the Klingon border. As of 2357 a cease-fire has taken effect and normal diplomatic relations have been established. The Tholians normally live in a hot Class C world and ships but can live for days or weeks without discomfort in a Class M environment. The Tholians have advanced gravitational technology and their primary space going weapon is the Tholian Web, a tractor beam web that can crush any ship caught in it's path. HomeWorld Unknown
Vulcan	The Vulcans live a peaceful and logical existence and have been at the forefront of many peace negotiations with races throughout the galaxy. Vulcans are a leading member, along with Earth, in the United Federation of Planets. They can sense powerful thoughts, protect suggestions and even share their minds. The Vulcans have a number of limited telepathic abilities most of which require Physical contact with the subject. The most famous of these is undoubtedly the mind-meld, which joins the thoughts of two individuals, removing the mental barriers of the participants so that each can experience the other's thoughts. It is a common misconception that the Vulcans have no emotions. In fact, just the opposite is true; Vulcans not only possess feelings, they have some of the strongest emotions encountered. What keeps these emotions in check is the extraordinary level of mental discipline that rules their everyday lives. Home World: The planet Vulcan in the alpha quadrant.
