Archernarian

The Archernarians were a insectoid species native in the Alpha Quadrant. They are characterized with features of a spider.

History
The Archernarians were natives to Archernar IV, a huge ancient space station. They evolved millions of years ago after the giants that were on the station abandoned it, leaving it's life support system on. They along with the other insects evolved into sentient beings, developing a unique culture and science.

In the 2260s, the Archernarians started to run experimental warp flights to a neighboring star system. This made them prime candidates for contact with the United Federation of Planets. Contact was made with the Federation when Capts. James T. Kirk and Elizabeth Cassady made first contact with them.

Physiology
Like spiders on earth, the Archernarians had eight limbs; a pair of arms and three pairs of legs. They also had 2 pairs of eyes.
