Arkonian - Notes

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Species Name :	Arkonian [1]
Quadrant :	Beta

Species encountered by Humanity in 2152. The Vulcans made first contact with the species in the mid 21st century, shortly after they had developed warp drive technology. Whereas Humanity welcomed first contact with the Vulcans in the same period, the Arkonians quickly established a reputation for being suspicious and deceitful. Eventually, the Vulcan High Command withdrew its contingent. Relations between the two were so poor at that point that even a century later, the Arkonians were distrustful of any vessel that even had a Vulcan aboard. [2]

First Contact with Humanity was made when an Arkonian auxiliary craft attacked one of the NX-01's shuttles. Both ships subsequently crash-landed on a moon which was barely habitable. Captain Archer contacted the Arkonian vessel which had launched their shuttle, and despite initial difficulties was able to convince the Captain to work with him to recover both pilots. T'Pol considered this to be a considerable achievement. [2]

Arkonians can emit a liquid which is highly effective in healing wounds. The same liquid can be sprayed into the face, causing a painful sensation. They drink a liquid called "tarrat-aash" which is poisonous to Humans, and do not handle high temperatures as well as Humans do as they cannot sweat. [3]

In 2152 an Arkonian was one of the prisoners aboard the Enolian transport which Captain Archer and Commander Tucker were held on. [2]
