Bolian

From Hidden Frontier

The Bolians are a humanoid species native to the planet Bolarus IX. They are members of the United Federation of Planets.

Bolians are distinctively known for a bifurcating cartilaginous ridge running vertically along the center of the head and face, and half-way down their chest. Skin color ranges from blue-gray to vivid blue, and is occasionally accented with dark blue bands on their head. Bolian males are completely bald and are on average as tall as the average Human male, and are not known for their physical prowess. Bolian females are sometimes completely bald, and sometimes have hair. Male Bolians have been known to wear toupées on occasion.

Bolians tend to be highly outspoken, most often when it is not requested. Due to the "good nature" personality types often perceived in Bolians, they are often accustomed to working in various service professions.

Bolian territory was a hotbed between the Federation and the Dominion during the Dominion War. A front was established by the Sixth Fleet in 2374 to prevent Dominion forces from taking the Bolarus system and outlying colonies.

The Bank of Bolias is the primary financial institute of the Bolians and many off-worlders. Fluctuations in Bolian currency play an important role in Alpha Quadrant trade.
