The Bolians were a humanoid race native to the planet Bolarus IX.

Physiology

Bolians distinguished themselves by their light blue skin with a vertical cartilaginous ridge bifurcating their heads and running the length of their bodies. Their pulse could be detected by feeling along their ridge. (DS9 novel: Avatar) Their cobalt-based blood chemistry is compatible with Andorians, but toxic to Vulcans.

History

Bolian mythology paint a rich and harsh beginning for their people. It is believed that it is due to the harsh weather conditions that three brothers set out to sea in hopes of finding better a land to live. Sailing each in their own directions, they discovered the three continents that make up the surface of Bolarus XI, thus the first tribes were established. Thought there were territorial wars as the Great Migration continued and tribes meet one another. Eventually the cooperative nature of the inhabitants lead them to work in unity.

Bolian space flight

These loose alliances would eventually grow to form three nation states, these states grew quickly, although they worked together they would usually view themselves superior to other states. Even if this period of history is viewed as turbulent, it also lead to some meaningful technological and cultural breakthroughs.

During the subsequent era of peace that lasted 400 years, they achieved spaceflight and explored their solar system. They had established research colonies on two planets and were working on warp technology when the Iren and Uzor, warring species of a neighboring system, entered the Bolarus system. Two of the main nation states made contact with the species and would choose a different sides. This lead to turmoil among the Bolians. The third nation state isolated itself as they fear the chaos brought to the planet.

Eventualy each nation was asked to take a aside in the war and Bolarus IX would be the battle field.

The war was eventually avoided by the due to the first contact with the Federation in 2252. The presence of the Federation brought the nations states back top the talking table and pushed the warring species away from the Bolarus system. After a some time the Bolians were made a special offer, if they could create a single government entity they would be taken into the Federation.

Since joining the Federations they have contributed a great deal including development of advanced antigravity technology and a new dilitihum crystaliziation process. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual, Last Unicorn module: Planets of the UFP)

Typically Bolians were gregarious, hardworking, and meticulous. They enjoyed cooperation and work group dynamics. However, you can always count on a Bolian—their selflessness is legendary. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

Bolians work well in professions that privilege group cooperation and group effort; every branch of starship service suits their desire for teamwork and structure. Bolians also make good merchants, scientists, and soldiers. Bolians enjoy diplomacy and some of them are quite good at it. Bolian nationalists have occasionally joined criminal gangs such as the Orion Syndicate—they make good rogues in those cases. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

Some Bolianas practice polygamous marriages. When more than one male is involved in such a relationship, they are known as co-husbands. (DS9 episode: "Field of Fire", TNG novel: The Buried Age)

Starfleet Academy was accepting Bolian cadets as early as the 2270s. (TOS novel: In the Name of Honor) A Bolian competed in the 2376 Academy Marathon on Danula II. (New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "The Footfalls of Tradition")
