Arcturian

NotesImagesDatapoints
TimelinePeople
Universe : Prime Timeline
Species Name : Arcturian [1]
Quadrant : Unknown

A Humanoid species, Arcturians served in Starfleet during the 2270s. An Arcturian Starfleet officer was at the Starfleet Headquarters air tram station in San Francisco when James Kirk passed through the station on his way to see Admiral Nogura. [2]

An Arcturian crew member, possibly the same individual, served aboard the ship during the V'Ger crisis. [2]

The Arcturians were a militaristic race composed of great armies. All Arcturians are identical – they reproduce by cloning, and even Arcturians could only tell one another apart by the clothing they wore. [1]

Arcturians provided the infantry for the Federation. Their planet is known for its huge size and tremendous population of 100 billion. They were said to be able to provide an army of 20 billion soldiers overnight. [3]

The Arcturians had an interest in Shakespeare; the funded a production of Macbeth in 2266. [4]
