Cygnian

Sign in to edit

Cygnians or Cygneti and Cygnetans are a humanoid species native to the Omega Cygni system in the Alpha Quadrant.

Biology[]

Cygnians are characterized by their cat-like eyes, skin-color, mouse-like tail and by their sympathetic psionic abilities which allow them to perceive the actions of others within a certain range. (TAS episode: "The Time Trap")

Cygnian respiratory diseases were a topic of interest to Federation medicine in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (TOS episode: "Obsession"; DS9 episode: "Explorers")

Society[]

Cygnians maintained a matriarchial society and reproduced by artificial insemination. The leading Cygnian government official was known as the Matriarch. (TOS board game: The Adventure Game)

Cygnians inhabited eight worlds with full or associate Federation member status and a combined population of 26 billion. Along with Cygnet XIV, other predominantly Cygnian worlds included Ecora, Enas, Escara, Etrolopar, Falas, Grief, and Julietta. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)

The Cygnian currency in the 23rd century was the gold piece. (TOS novel: Crisis on Centaurus)

History[]

Sometime prior to the mid 23rd century, a Cygnian named Magen became stranded in Elysia, and eventually became a key member of the Elysian Council. (TAS episode & novelization: The Time Trap)

Holor Sethe was a Cygnian computer specialist, who became embarrassed by his homeworld's matriarchal society, so he went to Starfleet instead. (TTN novel: Synthesis) Other Cygnian Starfleet officers included Mara Kadray and Rellor Verat. (DS9 novel: Ascendance)

According to the Alan Dean Foster novelization Star Trek Log 4 and SCE, Magen from The Time Trap was a Cygnian from Omega Cygni. It is not clear, if Omega Cygni, the system Cygnet and Cygnet XIV is related, but the novels Beneath the Raptor's Wing and Synthesis suggest they are. The female doctor from the USS Kelvin could be a Cygnian too.
