Lutralian

The Lutralians were a humanoid race located in or near Sector 68H, and primary members of the Lutralian Hegemony. Lutralians were characterized by their teal-colored skin and sharp teeth.

First contact between the Federation and the Lutralians occurred in 2280, when the USS Chandley, equipped with an experimental Kelvan warp drive, accidentally crossed into their territory, becoming temporarily stranded. Through displaying aggressive tendencies, the Lutralian Hegemony, in the person of starship commander Nrech'lah, saw no purpose in attacking a race unable to defend itself. Following a meeting with Andorian Talev zh'Thren, Nrech'lah determined the Federation were worthy potential allies, and invited the Federation to open diplomatic relations. (, Book Three)
