Teplan
Planetary system located in the Gamma Quadrant just outside Dominion space. In 2172, the inhabitants of one of the planets in the Teplan system resisted the Dominion, and for their defiance, a deadly plague called 'the blight' was unleashed on their world. For two centuries, the blight devastated Teplan society, causing untold suffering. In 2372, a Starfleet team led by Dr. Julian Bashir sought to develop a cure for the disease. Although Bashir could not find a cure, he was successful in developing a vaccine that was effective for newborn infants if administered to a mother before she gave birth. DS9 "The Quickening" 4-96

Space-faring race involved in commerce, which apparently has four arms. Terellian freighters are common or at least seen near Lyaar. Terellian spices can be combined with roots to create broth. Three Terellians bragging about their Dom-jot prowess are set up for a game by Nog with he and Jake -- a date Jake wanted to break to see his then girlfriend Leanne. Alternately spelled Terrelians: some were visiting space station Deep Space Nine during Chief O'Brien's time-shifting episode. DS9 "Life Support" 3-59

Terran
The founders of the United Federation of Planets, Humans have become one of the most influential races in this portion of the Alpha quadrant, Humans originate from the planet Earth in the Sol system. The early history of the planet was remarkable in many respects - chiefly for the number of contacts with alien civilizations that occurred. All of these proved to be of a very limited type however, and it was not until 2063 that the first official First Contact occurred. At this point Earth was suffering the effects of a large-scale nuclear war and was at a particularly low point. A group of scientists working under Zefram Cochrane had been working on a method of faster than light drive system for spacecraft when the war occurred. Despite having no official funding and poor living conditions the team pressed on with their project, and by 2063 they where able to launch the Phoenix, the first vessel in the alpha quadrant fitted with a warp drive.
Cochrane's flight attracted the attention of a Vulcan survey vessel that was in the system; the Vulcans subsequently sent a shuttlecraft down to make contact with Cochrane's team. The discovery that they where not alone in the universe had a profound impact on mankind, bringing all the people of the Earth together as never before.
As the only species equipped with warp drive technology, Humanity was able to virtually create the concept of interstellar trade. Human-built spacecraft totally monopolized this trade for over twenty-five years, bringing a flood of revenue that rebuilt the war-torn planet and turned it into an economic powerhouse. By 2113 poverty, hunger and war had been abolished from the planet and Humanity was a major power.
Throughout the next forty-five years Humanity continued to build
an interstellar network of colonies and bases through a significant
portion of the Alpha quadrant. Finally, in 2158 they encountered
the Romulan Empire; the two powers fought a brief but intense war
that was ended in 2160 when the Romulan Neutral Zone was established
in order to provide a buffer zone between the two powers.
The Romulan War proved to Humanity that they had over-reached themselves,
and they sought to form an alliance of different civilizations in
order to provide for greater stability and prevent further conflicts.
The United Federation of Planets was established in 2161 when the
Humans and Vulcans signed the Federation Constitution. Although
the Federation is regarded as a model of inter-species cooperation,
Humans have always made up the bulk of its population and have therefore
tended to dominate it. TOS, TAS, MOV, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT All episodes,

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.
