A male Vissian.
The Vissians were a humanoid civilization from the planet Vissia Prime in the Vissia star system.
History and specifics[]
Vissians were notable for having three genders, which included male, female, and cogenitor. First contact was made by the NX-01 Enterprise in the year 2153 and generally proceeded well, as Vissians became fast friends with humanity. (ENT episode: "Cogenitor")
In 2156, the Vissians denied Jonathan Archer's request that they enter the Earth-Romulan War on Earth's side, which led to their Grand Moot passing the Permanent Embargo on Technology Transfers to Immature Civilizations Act. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)
By September 2165, a trade deal was in place between the Vissians and the Federation. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Live by the Code)
At least one Vissian woman served as an engineer in the Federation Starfleet, serving under Captain Montgomery Scott in the S.C.E.. She was berated by him for not completing a report on a Martian time corridor generator fast enough. (SCE eBook: The Future Begins)
