PIPE PERSONS / PIPE PEOPLE

Planet of Origin: Terra Alpha (human designation), am Earth size planet with a yellow-purplish atmosphere.

The Pipe People are 4 feet tall humanoids which developed a preindustrial civilisation. They were forced to live underground when humans colonised their planet. They assisted the human working class in a rebellion against the colonial regime which led to a subsequent peaceful cohabitation.

STAR WHALE

The Star Whales are ancient giant peaceful spacebound sentient creatures. They had several flippers and tentacle like protrusions on their backs and are capable of surviving in the vacuum of space. According to legend, they guided early space travellers through dangers on their journeys through space. By the 29th century, the species is believed extinct save for one, who is theorised to be the last of its kind.

MULTI-FORM SPECIES

The multi-form species is a sentient lifeform naturally gelatinous, appearing as a snakelike mass of glowing tendrils with a mouth full of sharp teeth. Capable of creating a perception filter to stop itself being seen, or to hide anything it wants to hide, it is highly polymorph. Having created a psychic link to a living but dormant creature, it can then copy the appearance of that creature or of anything they dream about. Coma patients provide the perfect live feed. They can live for millenia.

One specimen of the species, Prisonner Zero, a known galactic criminal, was locked up in an interdimensionnal prison on Earth by the Atrax for years until 2010.

ATRAXI

The Atraxi are a galactic police force.
Working in groups, they resemble eyeballs four meters in diameter around which orbits a ring-like crystalline snowflake structure.
They are capable of atmosheric as well as of interstellar flight. They can perform planetary scanning tasks in a 'searchlight' fashion and lock a planet inside a force field inside of which they can incinerate it in 20 minutes.
They appear to have a very factual, analytical and emotionless kind of intelligence.
They are known to use extradimensionnal prison in which they lock up galactic criminals.

ALIEN PIC OF THE DAY

UNAMED SPECIES FROM SPACE PRECINCT

ZARANITES / ZARANS

Planet of Origin: planet Zaran II, the second planet of the Byrdica/Zaran system.
The Zaranites are a mammalian humanoid species known to the Federation during the mid-23rd century. They are fluorine breathers, requiring them to wear gas masks and protective suits in Earth-like environments.
The Zaran are a hunting species, and the females are known to have psionic powers which enable them to attract males by arousing hormones in both sexes. The arousal of hormones means that a life-bond is formed between a couple. The Zaran were first encountered by humans in the 2070s, and soon came under the control of a group of humans known as the Totality. The jewelry they wore is made from horns of the Berbbotjahaa; the top part of the necklace indicates their family, while the bottom identifies each individual.
The Federation made its diplomatic first contact with this race in 2257.

THOLIANS

Planet of Origin: Tholia (Tholis)
The Tholiansare an extremely xenophobic, non-humanoid hermaphroditic silicon based species with a propensity for precision who developed a space faring civilisation as of the 22nd century.
They are living mineral formations with their cells being mostly crystalline although they are believed to contain a fluid medium which carries out metabolic processes. Their skins are mostly faceted with each Tholian seemingly bearing a unique color scheme with an infinite variety of tones being present amongst them.
They breathe through a form of anaerobic respiration with a methane-chlorine mixture being used. While their cells' functions resemble those of humanoid cells, Tholian cells contain an electrical charge in each cell nucleus. The Tholians also possess some form of electromagnetic organnelle within their bodies.
Tholians are approximately the same height as a Human and are incased in an exoskeleton. They have six thin legs that makes it possible for the being to move in any direction quickly; the legs are articulated with joints roughly corresponding to the knee and ankle of humanoid species. Each leg ends in a multi-toed foot. The legs are attached at the base of the torso and are radially symmetric. There are two arms; each has joints analogous to the humanoid elbow and wrist, and each arm ends in a multi-fingered hand. They have no neck but two glowing spots near the top of their torso. They turn these to face individuals with whom they interact, which suggests they have some sort of information-gathering organ. Tholians have two sexes, but each individual had both sets of sexual organs. They exist at high temperatures – in excess of 450 Kelvin (177 °C, 350 °F). They can tolerate lower temperatures for a brief period of time; if they are exposed to too low temperatures, their carapace cracks. In temperatures even lower, a Tholian would freeze solid and shatter.
The Tholians possess a form of networked intelligence in addition to their sentience as individuals. Whilst they do share their memories between generations or familial structures, the process did not create a "hive mind". They also possess a kind of shared memory archive for their species known as the Lattice.
Tholians are naturally able to emit various forms of radiation, which they can modulate to communicate over short distances but they communicate primarily through a series of clicks and chirps.
The head governmental unit of the Tholians is the Tholian Assembly. During the mid-22nd century, the Vulcans had limited contact with the Assembly. Contact with the Tholians over the next century would be sporadic but aggressive and territorial. Tholians rarely advanced very far from their home system, and are known to kill outsiders caught trespassing in their territory. They were also known to frequently annex surrounding systems outside of the Assembly, to further isolate their territory.

MELMACS / MELMACIANS

Planet of Origin: Melmac, which was destroyed in the 1980ies, leaving but a few survivors.
Melmacians are a species of short-statured sapients of omnivorous mammalianoid, furry bipedals with dense, usualy brown fur covering their entire bodies, except for their faces, they have large feet and four-fingered hands. They have a lifespan of around 650 years. By the inclusion of a plant called the Carl Shrub in their diet, Melmacians are also immune to infectious disease. Their blood is green-colored and they have ten major organs in their bodies, eight of which are stomachs. When a Melmacian eats excessively, instead of getting fatter like most species, they get denser. Eating enormous quantities of food might be extremely dangerous, as it puts them at risk of physical implosion. If a Melmacian spends too much time without eating enough, they will partially lose their sense of reality and start regressing to a hunter state, searching for food in the wilds.
Melmacians have developed an advanced space faring civilisation.

* Gordon Shumway, more commonly known by his nickname, ALF, was one of the survivors of the great catastrophe that befell the planet Melmac. He made it to Earth and lived with a Human family for a few years in the 1980s.
* Skip was a male Melmacian who was another survivor of the destruction of Planet Melmac.
* Rhonda was a female Melmacian who was another survivor of the destruction of Planet Melmac.

MOORWEN

Planet of Origin: Moorwen planet
The Moorwens are a race of non-sentient or possibly semi-sentient quadruped carnivors that were the main predators of planet Moorwen, a world with no sentient speceis. Due to the bombing of their planet and subsequent hunting down of survivors in the 8th century by Outlander settlers, they are extinct. After the planet was settled by the Outlanders, a specimen who had managed to survive weecked havok before srowing away on a ship and causing it to crahsland on Earth amidst the Vikings of A.D. 709. It, and an offspring presumably born on Earth, were responsible for much death before being hunted to the caves where they lived by the surviving Outlander and a group of Vikings and killed. Moorwens can produce bioluminescence in most colors of the visible spectrum, most commonly red.This glowing is used to attract prey and seem also to portray feelings such as anger. They have thick skin resistant to fire and invulnerable to damage from common metals. They possess a have long, thin tails sharp enough to cut flesh, skin, bone, and some building materials. They are good swimmers and can hold their breath for a long time. Source: Outlanders Movie

TALOSIANS / ALEESHA'S SPECIES

Planet of Origin: Talos III (Note: This might be an hommage or a reference to the 1964 Star Trek pilot episode "The Cage", which takes place on Talos IV)
Talosians are a sexuate humanoid species who are believed to have developed interstellar space travel as of the 21st century.
At least some of them possess shapeshifting abilities to some extent, being able to switch between two forms, a social one, which looks much like a regular human with green hair, and a hunting form. It remains unknown if they are able to turn into other forms, but upon being killed under hunting form, a talosian reverses to its social form, which leads to believe that the species has a lycanthropic nature rather than a true polymorphic one.
