The Alonis are an aquatic non-humanoid race native to the planet Alonis.
History and specifics[]
They have tails, short limblike pectoral fins, smaller dorsal and pelvic fins and lack opposable digits. They can communicate in a chirping language decipherable by a universal translator, and can also manipulate water into tools using short-range psychokinesis. In order to survive out of water, they must wear environmental suits and travel in antigrav chairs. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)
After developing warp drive and constructing their first warp-powered prototype, their first contact with an alien race was with the Andorians. An image of this first iconic meeting was displayed in a museum on Alonis. (TOS - Crucible novel: The Fire and the Rose)
In 2293, Ambassadors Spock and Alexandra Tremontaine met with Alonis representatives about the issue of establishing a starbase on Alonis. Despite the representatives demanding unchallenged access to all areas of the base, Spock and Tremontaine were able to secure an agreement. (TOS - Crucible novel: The Fire and the Rose)
The Alonis joined the Federation in the mid-24th century. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Rough Beasts of Empire)
