    Tiburonese?

    Hi.

    I just got the Starfleet Manual, which includes the Tiburonese.

    Now I wonder, where this species did appear in Star Trek.

    Any ideas?

    Well, in the ep "The Savage Curtain" the Exclabian mentioned Zora who experimented on the people of Tiburon. Whether she was from Tiburon is open for debate.

    Dr. Sevrin I believe was from Tiburon. "The Way to Eden."

    Beyond the occassional name dropping, I think those are the only official mentionings of Tiburon.

    Dr Sevrin in the TOS episode 'The Way To Eden' and a crewmember in a DS9 episode ('The Ship' IIRC) were both Tiburonese.

    and a full load of quantum torpedoes would be quite nice too."

    That is correct. Being their physical peculiarities an elongated ear lobe and their baldness (at least on the two males we have seen).

    I don't think that characters species was ever identified. I did see one webpage that called him a genetically pure Arcturian (produced without cloning).

    A fan based idea sure, but rather a neat idea I thought. On the one had you could have the sexually produced Arcturians, such as the merchant captain from ST:III. On the other you have the clone Arcturians who have lost their distictive uncloned looks due to loss of integrity of the cloned cells. . .the copy of a copy agrument. I always thought that would make a good backstory for an adventure, but never did anything with it.
