Aquillians are a bipedal reptilian species that inhabit the planet Beta Aquillia IV. Normally a peaceful race, the Aquillians had been petitioning for membership into the United Federation of Planets.
In 2414, an Aquillian pro-isolationist movement, called the Veil of the Sky acquired weapons and seized control of the planet. They seized the Federation Ambassador and her staff, demanding that the UFP recognize their government. In response the USS Rosenante was dispatched.
Physiology[edit]
Aquillians are reptillian by heritage. Their evolution has eliminated the tail their ancestors once sported. A standard evolutionary feature amongst the species is a pairing of translucent inner eyelids. The lower set enhance low level lighting, while the upper lids guard the eye against overly bright lights. These lids are consciously controlled by the Aquillian and are not automatic, hence a sudden bright light may still temporarily blind an individual.
Aquillians were first seen in the USS Rosenante Mission The Veil of the Sky
