---- PEOPLES OF TNG ---- compiled by Scott Hollifield updated through the end of Season 5 This is an index which I recently completed which makes an attempt to catalog all of the various races of sentient beings seen or referenced in Star Trek The Next Generation. First of all, a cursory glance at this index will reveal that many of these are not distinct races, but merely human(oid) colonies or similiar groupings. I include these for completist's sake, because there are many "races" which have been referenced to vaguely (is the Arcanian diplomat mentioned in "In The Mind's Eye" a human or not? for instance), so I decided to lump them all in. (That's why I prefer to refer to this index as a list of "peoples", not "races".) This was fairly easy to do, but there are some exceptions. For instance, I omitted any references which did not clearly describe a distint group of sentient beings. Examples: the show drops names all the time like "Arcturian fizz" and "Thelusian flu" (in addition to a litany of languages like Stroierian and Denasian), but there is no evidence that there are Arcturians, Thelusians, etc. to go along with them. Under each listing, you'll see three obligatory lines with a potential fourth one: Type, Origin, Representatives (or Reps) if applicable, and a line for the appropriate episode title(s). "Type" is usually Human, Humanoid, or Unknown. What's the difference between Human and Humanoid? Good question. First, a Human is Homo sapiens sapiens. A Humanoid is a being who has two arms and two legs (or an acceptable other combination thereof), but differs from a Human in at least one of the following ways: (1) Possessing some physiological distinction which no human has (like forehead ridges); (2) Possessing some unique ability which humans generally don't have (like the Betazoids' telepathy); (3) Having evidently been around in outer space since before Earthlings began interstellar travel. The bottom line is, Humans, ultimately, come from Earth. If there's no evidence to the contrary that a particular people came from Earth, I'm going to assume they're human (like in the case of the Edo from "Justice", for example). Also, you might wonder at some of the more unique Type classifications; if a particular race suggests a more descriptive Type, I'll use it, like with the dog-like Anticans from "Lonely Among Us", who are technically Humanoid, but I list as "Caninoid". Origin indicates the planet, star system, etc. that the people is either originally from or currently makes their base on, depending on the nature of the people. Ex.: There's a whole section of space for the Romulans, yet I only list "Romulus". Representatives are members of that particular people who have been named on the show, whether in dialogue or in credits (although I don't think that there are any examples exclusive to the latter). I have omitted any obvious political titles - Marouk, instead of Sovereign Marouk; Tog, instead of Daimon Tog, etc. The exception is the case of the Cardassians, for whom I'm not sure if "Gul" - as in Gul Macet and Gul Galac - is merely a title or actually part of the personal name. The episode listings detail episodes in which the people are mentioned and/or shown. This varies according to scope of the entry. I didn't list every episode in which the word "Klingon" was said aloud (let alone every one where Worf appears), merely the ones in which we actually see Klingons (other than Worf). (For the record, future episodes with Alexander will not be listed unless they add significantly to Klingon continuity.) On the other hand, "Brothers" is listed for the Pakleds, even though they were merely mentioned in that episode. As with all my indexes, the spellings of the names are occasionally unverified beginning with the fourth season. If you have any VERIFIED spelling corrections, please let me know. Similiarly, if you want to correct or debate the usage of a particular entry or reference, leave me a public message. (June 1992) Note: This is, like the Actors index, just a simple barebones reference designed to be used in conjunction with the other files. When I have the time, I'll set about creating a new expanded version of this index, with a bit more information on each race, so watch for it. ------ Acamarians Type: Human Origin: Acamar Three Reps:
