Talarian
Humanoid race from Talaria III near Cardassian space. Mostly humanoid except with a receded hairline in both sexes and a distinctively enlarged forehead. Talarian society is highly militaristic and patriarchal. Their technology lags far behind the Federation in most aspects, however they make up for quality in quantity. All Talarian males are conscripted for a standard 10 year period that incorporates education, military service, and loyalty training. The Talarians often display unusual bravery and place minimal value on their individual lives. Their was an ongoing conflict with the Talarians in the 2350's over the Galen system. The system had three Federation colonies and a Starbase with a system population of over 4 billion. The Talarians annexed the territory in 2353 and sent an armada to enforce their claim. The Talarians ignored all attempts at negotiations and ruthlessly destroyed the colony on Galen II, killing over 300 million people. For 4 years a long series of skirmishes punctuated by occasional massive ground and space battles. In 2357 the Talarians were driven out after a last, bloody, battle at Galen IV.

Talaxians
A humanoid civilization native to the planet Talax in the Delta Quadrant. Externally Talaxians are identifiable by the distinctive yellow coloration of their skin and the ridges of bone on their skulls, (see associated image). Internally, the major difference between Talaxians and Humans is in the lung system; Talaxian lungs are directly linked to the spinal column at multiple points.
Society
Talaxians tend to be a very enthusiastic and friendly people, quick to trust others and easy to get along with. They have few enemies, although in 2346 they entered into a war with the Haakonian Order. After ten years of fighting the Hakkonians used a Metreon Cascade weapon on Rinax, killing some 300,000 Talaxian colonists of that moon and prompting the Talaxians to surrender. Many Talaxians who came into contact with the fallout of the weapon subsequently developed metremia, a fatal blood disease. VOY "Caretaker, Part 2" 1-2

Talosian
Physically weak humanoid race from Talos IV. Several hundred thousand years ago the Talosians were nearly destroyed in a massive nuclear war. The survivors found underground life limiting and concentrated on developing their mental powers. After several thousand years the Talosians had developed powerful powers of illusion and telepathy. They could project ultra realistic images over reality, or into the minds of others. This became a powerful narcotic and the Talosian's physical strength and skill atrophied to the point where they could not maintain their complex artificial world. They required slave labor to service their systems, they began to project their illusion to deep space to lure passing travelers to Talos IV where they would capture and enslave the unlucky passers-by. In 2255 all entry to the Talos sector was banned under penalty of death, for fear of others gaining the Talosian's powers. When an agreement between the Talosians and the Federation in 2266, only entry to the Talos system was prohibited. The reason is that the Talosians have obtained a sufficient workforce to rebuilt their world and wish to be left alone to work. They had requested an envoy be sent in 100 years, sent 7 years ago, to consider Federation membership. They are beginning the slow membership process. TOS "The Cage" 0-0

Tamarian
a.k.a. 'The Children of Tama' Semi humanoid race first contacted in 2268. Tamarans are faintly reptilian with yellow skin and intricate patterns of red tattoos all over the skin. Tamarian language could not be understood until 2368. Their language translates into a system of stock phrases and metaphors. It was later understood to be metaphoric analogies to Tamarian myths. Unfortunately, little else is known since their language is still largely unknown and they have limited interest in interchange since the first language breakthrough. Their technology is approximately as advanced as the Federation. TNG "Darmok" 5-102
