I remember those guys. They would make an interesting minor race.
One problems is we have already developed a long list of minor races and given them emblems, ships and other attributes as needed. Going back to add in more could slow us down.

In the episode of TNG "Code of Honor" there might be a minor race to add: The Ligonians are the humanoid inhabitants of the planet Ligon II. Although they possess transporter technology, they are extremely antiquated in other ways and are not as technologically advanced as the Federation. They have a highly structured society and are an extremely proud race. They value their honor above all else, and as such live by strict codes of honor. In 2364, Ligon II had a vaccine to cure Anchilles fever, which the population of Federation planet Styris IV was suffering from. The USS Enterprise-D was sent Ligon II to negotiate with Lutan, leader of the Ligonians, to acquire the vaccine. (TNG: "Code of Honor") Choice Structures: Vaccine Laboratory ------>"5% Pop. Health" Fighting ring ------>"20% Ground Combat" Fighting ring consisting of different levels of steps, lights and metal rods could be installed in the middle of the Centerplace. Yareena, Lutan's first one, fought Natasha Yar on this structure in a fight to the death. Several seats were arranged around the fighting range for spectators to attend the ceremony. (TNG: "Code of Honor") |

I discussed the Ligonians with Starfleet on MSN last night. I've sent Dafedz a PM about this, although he hasn't replied to my PM's for a month or two now. Since the Ligonians are a relatively backward race, we don't need to give them ships, so that's one less bit of work to do. All we need is a race image - and one is available on Memory Alpha - and image(s) for their structures. I'll also have to ask Zeleni to create an additional Insignia for them. Text isn't a problem because they have a Memory Alpha entry already, so it's really just a case of adding the info to the game, and I can easily do that myself. I'm doing similar stuff for the other minors already anyways, in fact i've got a big list of stuff that I need to fix once the editor is working again. I'd rather not do this until Dafedz sends me a reply though. Dafedz worked out the database and i'd like to know if there is a specific reason why he rejected this race or whether he simply overlooked them. I'll admit that they aren't a race that I recognise so i'm guessing that I missed this episode. |

Ligonians have canon logo and i didt one year ago so regarding emblem everything is ok. There is one race which is in my opinion one of the most fascinating and unique races in trek world and it's not in our database.Actually race's name was never spoken in the show but was mentioned in the script "Palau" (voy:Night) Memory alpha: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Night_Alien What is interesting about Palau is that they have evolved in The Void. The Void covers an enormous region of space several hundred light years across, and over 2,000 light years deep, containing no stars and a form of radiation that prevented light from stars outside the region from being seen from within the Void. They posses very strong ships which helped voyager to destroy a malon gabage scow. i don't know if we can implement star system in empty star sector or in sector with neutron star but it would be cool to have such race which is hard to find on galactic map. Without resources they have evolved in spacefaring civilization so they should have wide types of bonuses for construction, energy and food. What do you think? |

To have the Void aliens in the game, we would need to make a number of non-canon concessions. First off, we would be giving them the name, even though it was never mentioned in dialogue as you say. Second, we would need to create a specific star system for them to live in, even though we know there is nothing in the Void. And third we would need to come up with special structures and buildings for them, and yet we have no evidence of them having (Native) technology of any kind. They were probably originally rejected from being in the game for these reasons. Still, if we're re-evaluating the "missing" races, then there's no harm in discussing them. We could perhaps give them a single planet inside a Nebula (Just like the Dominion have), although I don't believe we can choose the colour of the Nebula or I would make it a dark, black one. |

Yeah it would be cool to have dark nebula and aliens in it

Interesting idea I suppose, if it can be done. The Night Aliens fell into that awkward zone of being worthy additions, but frustratingly lacked that critical thing -- a home system, as has been said. I'd even happily have accepted the race name from the script. They are similar to various other races that fell into the same category, such as were discounted straight away due to having no actual planetary system, such as, for example: , the aliens from "TNG: Allegiance", and the from "Schisms". Both have interesting underlying properties, and are possible game candidates, were it not for their lack of home system, or even a canon race name. |

But how do we know that there is no planet in "The Void", Voyager was supposed to travel for two more years to get out of it, how do we know they woudn't encounter their home planet in that time. I agree a system with black nebula and a single planet. About the Solanogen aliens, what if we make them a random event? |

As i remember janeway speculated that night beings must be from some kind of rouge planet, well there is no evidence how much of rough planets there was. |

Is it possible for a nebula to cover few sectors and not just one? |
