Outwardly identical to [[Human]]s, the Argelian race is known for its hedonistic, peace-loving nature. This was acquired after undergoing a period in Argelian history known as the Great Awakening circa the 2060s, which fundamentally reformed their society from violent to placid. Since the Great Awakening, the Argelians have adopted a pacifist way of life, deploring any form of violence. Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic to this race. This pleasure-loving cultural trait makes it necessary to import administrative officials from other worlds to maintain order.
Though policed by the Lawgivers, the people moved through their lives in a blissful daze, and nothing changed for almost six thousand years. After the machine, Landru, was destroyed by [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]], a team of sociologists were left behind to help the people rebuild their culture.
Members While they consider Betelgeuse IV (Hav'a'halar) their [[homeworld]], they once lived on all three [[Class M]] planets in the system.

They have some enhanced facial features, though their most distinguishing characteristic is their large, unusuallyby the mid-shaped feet, making it impossible for them to wear the same footwear as most [[humanoid2270s]]s.

Devidians' only useful form of nourishment is [[Human]] neural energy. They acquire this energy by draining the subject of their neural energy, killing the subject. They preyed on humans from 19th century San Francisco using the [[cholera]] epidemic at the time as a cover for their murders.
The pre-spaceflight Ekosians, as a result of their wars, were in a state of anarchy in the mid-23rd century. This drew the attention of their sister world, Zeon, which had managed to live in peace for many generations, and had developed the beginnings of interplanetary spaceflight. Many [[Zeon]]s came to Ekos in an effort to help their neighbors learn peaceful ways.
Using the Nazi model, Melakon used the presence of [[Zeon]]s on Ekos in much the same way as Hitler used the Jews of Germany and Europe: as scapegoats blamed for Ekos' problems and declaring them a threat to be eliminated. With the technology elicited from Gill, Melakon rapidly upgraded Ekosian weapons. By 2268 the "Final Decision", a genocidal invasion on the planet Zeon, was preparing for deployment.
The regime created by Gill and Melakon proved to be weaker than their German model; the Nazi government and "Final Decision" was not embraced by all of Ekos. An underground alliance of [[Zeon]]s and Ekosians had formed, including high-level Nazi party members who wanted no part in the genocide. Kirk's actions allowed the Zeon Isak to kill Deputy Führer Melakon. Afterwards, there appeared to be no impediment to the worlds working together. Spock observed that the union of the the two world cultures would make a fine addition to the [[Federation]].
As it was observed; [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] and the Ekosian people [[USS Enterprise, NCC-1701|''Enterprise'']] stepped in, and were granted membership into able to prevent the Ekos' attempt at genocide. An underground alliance of Zeon and Ekos rebels helped the United Federation to topple the [[1940s]] [[Germany]]-like government. The Zeons and Ekosians then were able to work together, later becoming members of Planetsthe Federation.

[[Image:Phlox (Hierarchy).jpg|thumb|left|Phlox, a member of the Hierarchy species]]
The '''Hierarchy species''' are a species from the a region of space near the [[Beta Quadrant|Beta]]-[[Delta Quadrant|Delta]] Quadrant border that is controlled by the Hierarchy. The true name of this species is unknown to the [[Federation]].
Physically the species is [[humanoid]] with dull brown skin, and few distinguishing features - hairless, and with few noticeable facial features, it is almost impossible for other species to distinguish between individuals of this race.
They use surveillance on passing ships for future raids. This is done by special surveillance ships, hiding in nebulae for example, who use sensors to assess the tactical risk of attacking passing vessels and the available loot. They use cloaked ships to sneak up on vessels. They have several different attack patterns, at least the patterns Stealth approach 1 through 4, which use increasing amounts of energy. The Hierarchy is meticulous when it comes to use of energy and resources on its vessels. Every planned use is to be reported and consulted with the Hierarchy, attempting maximum efficiency.
A type 3 approach involves four vessels coming up on the target cloaked, decloaking within its direct vicinity and firing a warning shot across the shields. A type 4 approach involves rotating phaser frequencies and firing the first shot a direct hit, before contacting the target and placing an ultimatum. This assault drains significantly more energy, and is only used under extenuating circumstances. A type 3 approach was planned to attack the [[Federation]] starship USS Voyager, but when short range scans conflicted with long range recon, a type 4 approach was used. However, the ships eventually withdrew in fear of the photonic cannon, an imaginary weapon of the Doctor's design.
The Hierarchy itself is regularly consulted by crew of its ships using a special communication system. The current situation is detailed on a sort of PADD, then entered in a slot next to a display, which is cylindrical in form. After a few moments, rectangle colored lights appear on the display to indicate the Hierarchy's decision. Judging by the response time, the Hierarchy is either extremely well organised, or a limited number of people have to consent, or it involves a computer system.
The social and working ethics differ dramatically from [[Star Fleet]], in that every crew member has one duty and work station, hardly any social contacts and limited access to the ship. Some members of The Hierarchy have been known to leave their territory and explore other areas of space.

The Argelians are a [[humanoid]] species that hail from the planet [[Argelius II]], though natives call the planet "Nelphia." They became members of the Federation in [[2230]]. Outwardly identical to [[Human]]s, the Argelian race is known for its hedonistic, peace-loving nature. This was acquired after undergoing a period in Argelian history known as the "Great Awakening," circa the [[2060s]], which fundamentally reformed their society from violent to peaceful. Since the Great Awakening, the Argelians have adopted a pacifist way of life, deploring any form of violence. Since this species is so focused on pleasure, they choose to import administrative officials from other worlds to maintain order, rather than doing the governing themselves. Unfortunately, this almost led to a planetary judicial crisis in [[2267]], when three murders were committed. Punishment for this crime dated back to before the Awakening, and would have been death by way of slow torture. Fortunately for the Argelians' morals, the aggressor was a non-coporeal lifeform, and the execution did not go through. Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic. Their lifestyle and clothing, along with the architecture of their buildings, has been compared to "Middle Eastern" countries on [[Earth]].

Thousands of years ago, this species possessed highly advanced technology, including lighting panels, computers, and heat beams capable of reaching into orbit. During this time, their leader, a philosopher named Landru, became deeply concerned that the wars raging on Beta III would destroy all life on the planet. To solve this problem, he built an extremely sophisticated computer, also called Landru. Landru the computer absorbed the members of Beta III's society, eventually exerting absolute control over the thoughts and feelings of the entire planetary population. The computer also created "the Body", similar to a hive mind, which eliminated hate, fear, and conflict, put an end to war, disease, and crime.

They also possess the ability to travel through time, and/or exist in two time periods simultaneously.
Devidians' only perceived useful form of nourishment is [[Human]] neural energy. They acquire this by draining the subject of their neural energy, which in turn kills the subject. It was documented that they preyed on [[Human]]s from 19th century San Francisco, using a cholera epidemic as their cover.
