 KHAPRA'A
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Khapra’a (kah-PRAH-ah) are mostly humanoid except for

having cloven hooves for feet, yellow eyes with horizontal
pupils, and curling horns growing from the tops of their
heads. They are well adapted to living on the mountainous
islands that are the only land surface on their homeworld.
Males average 1.6-1.85 meters tall and mass about 70-85
kg. Females are typically about 10 cm. shorter and roughly
15 kg. lighter.

The planet A’chuba (ah-CHOO-bah) in the Beta Quadrant

barely qualifies as Class M, which originally led Federation
scientists to believe that it was not the Khapra’a’s planet of
origin. In fact it is, but it is only recently recovered from an
environmental disaster that led to massive climate change
-- so in a very real sense it is no longer the world on which
they evolved.

Having barely survived a catastrophe of their own making

the Khapra’a are now fanatic about the responsible use of
technology -- in particular weather control, which is what led
to the global flooding. The caution the species has learned
as a result of nearly destroying themselves doesn’t just
extend to the use of technology; most Khapra’a are loathe
to trust new ways of doing anything without first taking time
to anticipate possible drawbacks.

A Khapra’a makes for a good “voice of reason” character in a Starfleet or independents campaign. For a change of pace one could defy
the stereotype and have a reckless Khapra’a innovator as a PC or NPC.
 KHAVITI
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Khaviti (kah-VEE-tee; hard guttural sound as in “chutzpah”) are

humanoids with traitsof both rodents and felines. They stand
1.45-1.6 meters tall and have skin and hair in shades of purple.
Most have blue or violet eyes, while yellow and gray are rare.

The Khaviti are descended from plains-dwelling nocturnal

herbivores, and to this day their diet consists of legumes,
vegetables, fruits, and tubers. The fact of having always been
gatherers but never hunters has colored their outlook throughout
their history. Khaviti society strongly favors cooperation over
competition, and to their thinking the best defense is to be too
good at trading and negotiation to be worth attacking. They have
also retained their ancestors’ penchant for fleeing predators
instead of fighting them; none of Khavit’s (kah-VEETZ)
languages has any word for “coward,” but many use the same
word for “bravery” and “suicide” or for “hero” and “idiot.” Some
also retain the ancestral ability to deter predators by projecting
their fear onto an attacker.

The probability of experiencing violence -- and the surety of

being trained to commit it -- causes the Khaviti who join Starfleet
to be regarded as mildly insane by others of their species. The
fact that most Starfleet Khaviti have criminal records and/or a
history of being troubled youths does nothing to dispel this belief.
While rather timid by human standards Khaviti in Starfleet are
among the most violent members of an almost completely
nonviolent species.

a scrappy Khaviti who rushes in where angels fear to tread. Be sure to play up how more conventional Khaviti react to such individuals.
 KUNLEVAR
ALL ERAS OF PLAY

Kunlevar (KOON-leh-vahr) are genetic cousins of the

Bolians with blue skin and flat noses. Males are bald, and
most females can only grown hair from the temples down
to chin length. Average height is 1.45-1.7 meters with
males being noticeably taller. Kunlevar are thick-boned and
heavyset with masses of 80-100 kg. being common.

When the Klingons came to planet Kunlev (KOON-lev) they

expected an easy conquest. They did not expect to be
welcomed with open arms, served a sumptuous meal, and
sold summer homes. The Kunlevar are no champions of
the combat arena, but they are titans of the financial arena.
Within a decade of being conquered by the Klingon Empire
-- if you can call it conquest -- the members of the Kunlev
Association had inserted themselves into nearly every facet
of Klingon business. They don’t run anything on paper
because Klingons hold all of the executive positions, but no
Klingon truly understands the complex web of networks
and regulations that the Kunlevar have woven to hide the
fact that they have (by their lights) conquered the Klingons.
The nice thing about being the power behind the throne is
already having cover when the daggers come out.

Kunlevar pride themselves on their “honesty;” they avoid

lying outright, but they often tell the truth selectively. In their
culture lies of omission aren’t considered to truly be lies.
They regard written lies as the gravest of sins.

Kunlever work best in an independents campaign, but they can also fit in a Klingon campaign that isn’t excessively combat focused. A
Kunlevar master trader can be a great patron… or a frightening mastermind antagonist.
 KYRAMENE
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Kyramenes (KEER-ah-meenz) are humanoids with blue

skin, black hair, black eyes, and webbed hands and feet --
they are fully amphibious. The average height range is 1.6-
1.9 meters with females tending slightly taller and slimmer.
The Kyramenes have retained aspects of their ancestral
culture, most notably their caste system, into the modern
day. The three castes are officially equal, but the Avaia
(scholars) occupy most positions of power. The other two
castes are the Delkuta and Hekona (artisans and warriors,
respectively).

Kyramenes had a slow pace of technological development

because living underwater part of the time made certain
paths of advancement difficult or unavailable. Much of their
technology consists of engineered lifeforms rather than
manufactured machines, and they are among the most
advanced species in the Federation in this area. Balancing
the limits of living tech against the demands of industrial
society guided them down a path of sustainability; Kyram
(KEER-ehm) has a nearly pristine environment.

Kyram only achieved warp capability at the end of the 23rd

Century and has been a Federation member for less than
one human (or Kyramene) lifetime. Kyramenes are very
much aware of being the new kids in the quadrant, and
this often affects how they relate to other species -- usually
on the government level, but sometimes as individuals.

Kyramenes are intended for a Federation/Starfleet or independents campaign.

 LOKABBI
ALL ERAS OF PLAY

The Lokabbi (loh-KAH-bee) are 1.4-1.6 meter tall hairless

humanoids with skin in various shades of blue-green, large
red, orange, or yellow eyes that lack pupils, and tail-like
appendages on the backs of their heads like those of their
genetic cousins the Chandir. Lokabbi are an impetuous
people with a love of exploration that rivals that of humans.
No doubt this is a holdover from their nomadic past.

NX-02 Columbia didn’t make first contact with the Lokabbi;

it’s more accurate to say the Lokabbi made first contact
with Columbia. Their propulsion technology was superior
to Earth’s then, and it remains among the most advanced
in the Federation. If only their medical tech had kept up.

Environmental disasters left the surface of Kabbiar (KAH-

bee-arr) uninhabitable centuries ago; the species now lives
on space stations and aboard ships, and they see no point
in going back to life on planets. The Lokabbi have strict
sex-based division of labor; females occupy administrative
and academic roles while males are the artisans, laborers,
and warriors. The Lokabbi joined the UFP for protection
from the Klingons, but since the Organian Peace Treaty
the All-Fleet has gotten bolder about exploring worlds on
the edge of Klingon space. After the Dominion War there
are even clanships that have gone through the Bajoran
wormhole to brave the Gamma Quadrant.

Lokabbi can easily fit into a Starfleet or independent campaign, or even a game set in the Gamma Quadrant. If a majority of the PCs
are Lokabbi a campaign set on a clanship is perfectly viable!
 LOVASTINE
ALL ERAS OF PLAY

The Lovastine (loh-VASS-teen) are human-shaped but not

true humanoids. They are green-skinned with pointed ears
and eyes with blue sclerae. The species is highly sexually
dimorphic; males are 2.0-2.25 meters tall and mass about
90-110 kg. on average, while females are about 1.55-1.7
meters tall and 55-75 kg. with larger ears and darker skin.

Before the Federation had formed the Lovastine developed

warp drive and began to explore the quadrant in which their
world was located. They made peaceful contact with two
other species, the Joturai and the Melleorune, and made a
mutual defense pact with them against a mysterious power
that threatened all three. A chance encounter with the
Earth ship NX-02 Columbia led to all three species joining
the Federation a few years before the Romulans revealed
themselves and declared war.

Lovast (LOH-vast) is a balkanized world with dozens of

cultures, but what many of them have in common is a high
regard for knowledge. They are renowned as scholars, and
they regard teaching as the most prestigious profession.
Most of their cultures are at least somewhat patriarchal --
though they don’t actually regard females as inferior -- and
a man often has a number of wives proportionate to his
status. With a sex ratio of approximately three females to
every male there is little risk of having large numbers of
surplus males.

side effect of this ability you can automatically see what
would otherwise be colorless gases.

The Lovastine are intended to provide an additional species choice for an era of play in which there are very few canon options. They fit
best within a Federation campaign.
 MELLEORUNE
ALL ERAS OF PLAY

Melleorune (MELL-ay-oh-roon) are humanoids with skin

color ranging from deep pink to warm purple, white or pink
hair, pink or red eyes, and pointed ears. The height range
is about 1.55-1.7 meters with males only slightly taller than
females. The Melleorune are known to be an offshoot of
the Violaceans.

The Federation made first contact with Melleor (MELL-ay-

ore) at one remove; their ally Jotu answered a distress call
from NX-02 Columbia, and that resulted in the alliance of
Jotu, Melleor, and Lovast all being brought into the UFP.
The Melleorune in particular were glad to have made new
friends as theirs were the first worlds affected when the
Romulans attacked a few years later.

The Melleorune are very different from their Violacean

cousins; rather than building their society around courtly
intrigues and mercantile endeavors the Melleorune follow
martial and creative ways. Their culture values warriors,
artists, and craftspersons in equal measure, and every
individual is encouraged to be at least two of those -- for
example, a smith who makes weapons that are works of art
or a warrior who can forge their own weapons. It’s not that
the Melleorune don’t believe in specialization, it’s that they
understand the danger of overspecialization. Melleor has a
strong oral tradition; storytelling and poetry are their most
cherished art forms.

Melleorune provide yet another species option for the early days of Starfleet, and they also work for an independents campaign.
 MYDROTH
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Mydroth (MY-drawth) look like bipedal lizards with flexible

tails almost as long as they are tall. They are currently the
smallest known sapient reptiloids; they stand about 1.35-1.5
meters tall with males averaging 5 cm. taller than females.
Their hide is most frequently some shade of green, but there
are ethnic minorities with gray or black hide.

The habitable land surface on Nendorgal (nehn-door-GAWL)

is concentrated in the tropical and equatorial zones, and with
much of that land consisting of archipelagos and island
continents there is a lot of coastline. This resulted in a large
area being taken up by the planetary analogs of cypress and
mangrove swamps which are the Mydroths’ natural habitat.
Here the Mydroth developed into hunters, especially of
carnivores much larger and fiercer than they are. This habit
of using guile and teamwork to overcome big obstacles was
the driving force behind their advance in technology. To this
day the Mydroth value cooperation over individual talent and
speed and efficiency over brute force, and they delight in
meeting challenges that others think are too great for them.

Mydroth society officially has equality of the sexes, though

males are slightly over-represented in the business and
technical fields while the same is true of females in medicine
and education. They have made conscious effort to have
equal representation within the legal and law enforcement
professions.

 NAHLESHNA
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Nahleshna (nah-LESH-nah) are humaniform reptiloids with

green or brown hide. Females stand roughly 2-2.3 meters
tall while males average about 10 cm. shorter with heavier
builds. Both sexes have prominent horns with those of the
males being somewhat larger.

The Nahleshna Sodality is an up-and-coming power in the

Delta Quadrant; they are a small polity, but their territory
and influence are expanding. Since their contact with USS
Voyager under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway
they have begun to emulate the Federation’s values of
exploration and cooperation. They have already made key
alliances in their region of space which, in combination
with their advanced technology, has allowed them to repel
incursions by the Kazons and Numiri. By the time the UFP
returns to the Delta Quadrant the Matriarchs of Nahlesh
(nah-LESH) plan to have created their own Federation.

Nahleshna society is unabashedly matriarchal; males are

not treated as second-class citizens, but it is clearly the
females who are in charge. Intrasexual competition is even
more of a driving force for the Nahleshna than it is for
Humans -- a matriarch’s number of husbands is limited by
her wealth and status, while a male must earn his place in
a harem through displays of prowess be it artistic, athletic,
martial, mercantile, or technical. The need to prove one’s
worth informs all that the Nahleshna do.

The Nahleshna are intended specifically for a Delta Quadrant campaign -- if Starfleet had a permanent presence in the Delta Quadrant
the Nahleshna would be the first to sign up. Indeed, the Delta Quadrant Starfleet Academy would probably be on one of their worlds.
 NOMA CHAU
POST DOMINION WAR

Noma Chau (noh-mah CHOW) are humanoids with black or

dark gray skin and visible circuitry on their scalps. They
have red eyes -- including red sclerae -- and lack any hair
except eyebrows and eyelashes. Their height range is the
same as that of Humans.

The natives of Auloru Noma (AW-loh-roo NOH-mah) had

only recently developed warp drive when they first met the
Borg. From that contact they learned of the possibilities of
nanotechnology, and it changed the course of their species’
evolution. Within decades they invented biologically-based
nanotech that was nearly on par with that used by the Borg,
and from there they developed bio-cybernetic sensory
augments and direct neural interface technology. They
eventually figured out how to transmit stem nanites across
the placenta during pregnancy, so modern Noma Chau are
born with precursor nodes that develop into the full suite of
wetware implants at the onset of puberty.

Before contact with the Borg the Noma Chau were a deeply
spiritual people, and fusing their biology with technology
hasn’t changed this. They retain a belief in the sanctity of
the soul and the value of individuality -- they regard it as an
atrocity to use neural interface technology to rob people of
their uniqueness. The Noma Chau don’t mind augmenting
themselves with machines, but they have no desire to
become machines.

Noma Chau can be a controversial option for a Federation campaign; their inclusion of nanotechnology into their biology would make a
lot of other sapients uncomfortable. Exploring how this might be a result of species-wide trauma could make for some interesting stories.
 OGEN-JILA
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Ogen-Jila (oh-gehn JEE-lah) are the descendants of Earth

Humans, but they are not Homo sapiens. They are in fact
Homo neanderthalensis. An average adult stands 1.5-1.75
meters tall and masses about 60-85 kg.; males are slightly
taller and heavier than females, and both sexes have more
body hair than is typical for H. sapiens. The mirror neurons
in the Ogen-Jila brain are especially well developed.
The exact details of how the Ogen-Jila arrived in the Jila
system -- let alone the Beta Quadrant -- are lost to history.
What is known is that the outer system is riddled with
shifting spatial anomalies and that the inner planets host a
network of Preserver artifacts that shield against spatial
anomalies. The Jila asteroid belt also contains prodigious
quantities of trellium ore. It is surmised that the Preservers
placed the Ogen-Jila in a location that was protected from
incursions by other species but which the Ogen-Jila would
be able to safely leave when they were ready. That the
Ogen-Jila now have starships that are shielded with
trellium-D would seem to bear this out.
The Ogen-Jila have come a long way from the hunter-
gatherers who were first placed on Jila III. They prize
knowledge and craftsmanship, and they have the same
love of exploration that is common among Humans of any
origin. The sex-based division of labor practiced by their
ancestors has given way to complete equality of the sexes,
and peacefulness is one of their core values.

Ogen-Jila are a good option for an independents campaign; as of the time period described in the write-up they have not joined the
Federation. Their location in the Beta Quadrant opens up the possibility of Ogen-Jila antagonists in a Klingon or Romulan campaign.
 OPPERLINIAN
THE NEXT GENERATION ERA AND BEYOND

Opperlinians (ah-purr-LIN-ee-enz) are humanoids 1.7-1.9

meters tall with green skin and darker green markings --
usually stripes or spots -- on their faces and torsos. Each
individual’s pattern is unique, but members of the same
paternal line have similar markings. Opperlinians have
yellow eyes and green or black hair.

The Federation’s first contact with the Opperline (AH-purr-

line) system occurred when NCC-1701-D USS Enterprise
made the initial foray into what they believed was an
uninhabited system. Imagine their surprise when instead
they found a thriving civilization. The inhabitants of
Opperline IV explained that they were the descendants of
Orions who had been marooned on the planet. With hard
work and dedication they worked their way back up to
being a warp-capable civilization, but by then they had no
desire to return to the Orion system. They did, however,
retain the mercantile instincts of their Orion forebears --
albeit with less of a predatory edge -- and they saw in the
Federation a rich opportunity for trade. By the time the
Dominion War broke out Opperline IV had become an
associate Federation member.

Opperlinians have a weaker version of Orion pheromones

that is present in both sexes. They see nothing wrong with
using this ability in business or diplomatic negotiations, but
they frown on using it for personal matters.

nor can it affect non-humanoids or artificial lifeforms.

Opperlinians work equally well in a Federation/Starfleet or independents campaign. An Opperlinian trader could be an interesting rival,
patron, or antagonist for a commerce-based campaign.
