Physically, Coridanites are quite similar in appearance to other humanoid races. In diplomatic situations, Coridanites by tradition were required to wear elaborate masks that gave them a distinct appearance. (ENT episodes: "Shadows of P'Jem", "Demons")
History[]
In 2155, the Coridanites were poised to join the Coalition of Planets along with Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar, but a Romulan attack which caused massive damage to the surface of Coridan and killed a billion people, forced them to withdraw from the talks. The Coridanites were semi-independent for over a century, before making moves towards being admitted into the United Federation of Planets in 2267. (ENT novel: The Good That Men Do; TOS episode: "Journey to Babel")
