A Sheliak.
A Sheliak colony ship.
The Sheliak are a vaguely humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant.
The Sheliak are a reclusive people, avoiding contact with the Federation and others whenever possible. This may be due to their attitude that humanoids are an inferior form of life. The Treaty of Armens was established in 2255 between the Sheliak and the Federation which ceded several worlds to the Sheliak. There was virtually no contact with them for over a century thereafter, until they demanded that a Federation colony on Tau Cygna V be removed.
Sheliak colonists refer to themselves as "The Membership" and have a governing body called the Sheliak Corporate. Their homeworld is located in the Shelia system. Unlike most humanoids, the Sheliak prefer to exist in an environment that is the same temperature as their bodies.
