The Talarians are a humanoid civilization native to the planet Talar in the Talar system in the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant. Their government is the Talarian Republic.

History and specifics[]

Talarians are characterized by a distinctive hairless enlargement of the coronal area of the skull extending in two lobes to the back of the head. Talarian blood is red; natives of this species are prone to radiation burns and respiratory distress. (TNG episode: "Suddenly Human")

Raktajino is known to have intoxicating effects on Talarians. (DS9 episode: "A Simple Investigation")

In the 2360s, Talarian military weaponry was inferior to Federation standards, consisting of neutral particle weapons, X-ray lasers, and Merculite rockets, and thus didn't represent a serious tactical threat to a Galaxy-class starship. They also employed subspace proximity detonators and self-destruct devices that were installed on their ships. (TNG episode: "Heart of Glory")

Talarian society is strictly patriarchal, with the role of women being limited to raising children. (VOY novel: The Chance Factor)

They have Talarian hook spiders as companion pets. (VOY novel: The Chance Factor)

First Splinter timeline[]

In the First Splinter timeline, a strike by Talarian women in 2382 ground society to a halt, as there was no one to perform food preparation, custodial work, transit driving, secretarial work, or other services. (ST - Typhon Pact eBook: The Struggle Within)
