Planet of Origin Sauria
Quadrant Alpha (assumed)
Background ?
Editors Notes Neither the lack of a fourth finger nor the vestigial webbing affect their fine manipulation skills.  Saurians have four separate and distinct hearts, which makes them the hard to kill, and makes them very strong and durable.  They are about as tall as an average Terran.  The native language of Saurians is sung, not spoken, and is considered a very difficult (if not impossible) language to learn by non-Saurians.  Conversely, however, they do not have any trouble learning most Federation languages, including Federation Standard.  They excel at artistic and musical endeavours.  Quite a few Saurians have become quite famous in the Federation for their talents.  Their production of Saurian Brandy is considered an art form.

Quadrant Alpha (assumed)
Background Selay are bitter enemies of Anticans, who live on a planet in the same system.  The Federation moderated a dispute between the two planets recently, seemingly putting an end to their years of hostility towards each other.  Both the Selay and the Anticans have applied for Federation membership.  (both were assumed to be made members around 2364).
Editors Notes They are a sentient reptilian race that appears to be evolved from an animal similar to a Terran king cobra, and are assumed to be cold-blooded.  Due to their descent from venomous reptiles, they have an active venom delivery system in their front fangs.  Their thick, snake-like skin also gives them added protection from some types of attacks.
