FROGS

The beings named Frogs by the humans of the 3rd millenium. are a sentient humanoid species which has developed an advanced space faring civilisation whose behaviour seems antagonistic to the humanity of the time. They appear as blurry sparkling humanoid shapes. It remains unknown if this is their true appearance or if this is due something shielding them. As such, they appear immune to beam weapons but exposition of oxygen is toxic to them.

DENOBULANS

Planet of Origin: Denobula, the only planet orbiting  the star Denobula Triaxa AKA Iota Bootis, some 95 light years from Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy.
Denobulans are near-human looking humanoids with prominent facial ridges running down either side of the forehead to the cheeks, an enlarged brow ridge under a high receded hairline, a vertical crevice in the center of the forehead, and a ridged chin. They also have ridges on their back, along the spine. Their toenails are  dark brown and yellow striped, and they grow so rapidly that they need to be groomed once a week. Denobulans also had very long tongues, and they used tongue scrapers. Denobulan males had a line of hair down the middle of their chest, up to their throat. . They  have the ability to enlarge their faces when they feel threatened.  and they can change their eye color depending on their moods. . They  normally require  very little sleep, but do hibernate for five to six days each year. However, at a minimum, two days are sufficient. If a Denobulan is awakened prematurely, the results can be somewhat unpredictable; hibernating Denobulans, if woken, appeared extremely disoriented and confused, with oddly-pitched voices, and had difficulty maintaining normal motor skills and cognitive functions. Denobulans have  highly-efficient natural climbing abilities similar to those of Earth lizards, being capable of scaling vertical rock faces at a rapid speed with no equipment whatsoever, appearing to scuttle up the rock face without needing to find handholds and possess particularly powerful immune systems. Their exact life expectancy  is not known, but indications suggest that lifespans are extremely long.

On their homeworld,  the twelve billion Denobulan inhabitants all share one continent, resulting in  Denobulan culture having come to embrace close, communal lifestyles.  Denobulan medical ethics considers  a patient's will to be absolutely binding, including his denial to be cured or live.  Denobulans are typically polyamorous, where a man typically has three wives, who each has three husbands lcreating extremely large extended families. In addition, marriages are not exclusive, and married Denobulans can be intimate with anyone they chose. The females emit powerful pheromones during their mating season. Male Denobulans often became combative during this time, and mating can require medical supervision. Denobulans typically preferr to be among large groups and find solitude uncomfortable. However, Denobulans, at least males, are uncomfortable being touched by persons they are not intimate with and are more sexually inhibited than the females of their species.  Although Denobulans don't keep pets, they tend to address or greet animals they meet by imitating their sounds, even insects. 

Since the 20th century, the Denobulans practiced genetic engineering, with generally positive results and, by the 22nd century, the Denobulans had experimented with nanotechnology.  

The Denobulans believed they were the only intelligent species in the galaxy until the B'Saari made first contact.  Denobulans fought several wars against the Antaran species. The last one was during the late 19th century. Denobulan battle tactics killed twenty million Antarans. Both species demonized each other). As of the 22nd century, there were still some Denobulans that hated Antarans, although most had outgrown the hatred. . The Denobulans first met the Human race sometime prior to the 2130s. By the 2130s, Denobulans and Humans had built the joint research station Cold Station 12. When the Vulcans formed the Interspecies Medical Exchange, Denobulans were involved and contributed medical personnel. . In 2155, a Denobulan ambassador was sent to Earth to join in talks of forming a Coalition of Planets.

XI'AN

 

The Xi'An are a long lived (several hundred years) reptilian-looking humanoid species which developed an expansive interestellar civilisation which occupies at least fourteen systems in the Milky Way galaxy. While not inherently aggressive or expansionist in their nature, the Xi'An history is rife with civil war and power struggles with the result that all X'ians, military or civilian, are apt fighters. However, they prefer subtlety and manipulation to overt conflict.

Their political system is based on hereditary monarchy.  The emperor has a High Council of Advisers, each representing a facet of the government. Each colony emulate this structure with every planetary council member reporting to their respective counterparts on the Emperor's Council.

The Xi'An Empire had first contact with humans in 2530 and this encounter immediately escalated into a 259 year cold war (2530-2789).

WAVICLE SPORE / PLASMACYTES / BLOODWORM / SPARKLE DANCER

The creature commonly known as bloodworm or plasmacyte is the result of a deliberate mutation, presumably by the Regulans, a manipulation of creatures known as wavicle spores for waht is believed to be military purposes.

Wavicle spores were originally mostly harmless creatures, using oxygen only as a catalyst for tranformation in their next life cycle. After their mutation, when entering in contact with a redblooded creature, they turn to particles and, at certain level of concentration in an organism, transform into plasmacytes aka bloodworms, leech-looking creatures which feed aggressively on the blood of living organisms. In this state, the creature uses more energy eating than it gains by doing so and is therefore stuck in a loop in which what it eats only fuel its own appetite. They cannot really be killed, as destroying their form only shatteres them back into wavicles, ready to turn to particle when reexposed to blood. As such, the plasmacyte state could be considered a disease, one that can only be cured by reversing the mutation.

Without the mutation, wavicle spores would, when achieving a given level of concentration, turn into giant wavicle butterfly-like form refered to as Sparkle Dancers. It remains uncertain if in natural conditions, they would require an organic host to do so or just a sufficient amount of oxygen or other gas would suffice.

Source: Star Trek Universe. (Star Trek Phase 2: Blood and Fire) It remains uncertain that theinterpretation of the Regulan Bloodworm described aboce is canon to the official Star Trek universe. It nevertheless is now officially part of the pop culture related to that franchise thanks to the people at Star Trek New Voyages who made the creature pivotal to the Blood and Fire episode of their webseries. What is officially known about the bloodworm is that, under its plasmacyte state, it was native/discovered in the Regulan system. It has been described as soft and spineless. Medically, it has been known to be used medically under controlled conditions in the 22nd century for cleansing a being's lymphatic system. (ENT: "Doctor's Orders"). What the Blood and Fire episode (and the novel and TNG rejected episode it is based on) added to the lore was that the plasmacyte was developed by the Regulans as a biological weapon, that the leeches reproduced at an astronomical rate and wiped out the Regulans. Once left without nurrishment sources, they starved and shattered, reverting to their wavicle state until space explorer came to the Regulan system. As the wavicles appear to be able to survive in space, it remains unknown if, under their initial state, they were indigenous to the Regulan system or came to be there by other means.

TELLARITES

Planet of Origin: Miracht AKA Tellar Prime, a planet of the star system 61 Cygni.

Tellarites are a stout omnicorous humanoid species with distinctive snouts who had developed a FTL space faring civilisation as of the 20th century. They wore beards and their hands were sometimes hoof-like in appearance, known to be passionnate, impatient, stubborn and proud people.

Tellarites were warp-capable and involved in inter-species communication by the 20th century and were in conflict with the Andorians at some point in the first half of the 22nd century, conflict whihc was ultimately sealed in November 2154 during the Babel peace conference during which was created a temporary alliance among the Andorians, Vulcans, Humans, and Tellarites, wh. The proceeding conference later helped bring peace to the strained Tellarite-Andorian relations. This coalition became permanent in 2156 with the start of the Earth-Romulan War and finally became the United Federation of Planets in 2161, after the war.

KROONS / KROONIANS / SMURFS / SCHTROUMPFS

Planet of Origin: (most presumably) Earth. Planet of residence (in the far future): Kroona, a planet orbiting Alpha Eridani (Achernar), some 139 light years from Earth.

The Kroon are a sentient blue skinned humanoid species that will live on Kroona at some point in the future and which has developed an peaceful  advanced space faring technological civilisation with limited space time technology. They are fascinated by galactic history and exobiology and have studied many alien species, among which:

• The Oruls of Zool
• The Gaar of Garia
• The Zimimoum of Vigal
• The Buu of Gunn

 Despite their science, they know nothing of their origins, although they seem conscient somehow not being originary of their present homeworld. To that end, they developed the Retror technology, able to scan time and space. Using it, they were able to track down their oldest ancestor, a Smurf (schtroumpf), a small blue skin creature that lived during the middle-ages in the remote areas of the Europe region of Earth, a planet orbiting the G3 star Sol. How they came to move to Achernar and evolve into Kroons remain unknown.
They are known to have kept throughout the ages some clothing trends, i.e. pants, shoes and hats of a white color for the majority and of a red color for the leaders.
