Federation members from the planet Bolarus IX, [2] the Bolians are recognizable by their blue or bluish-grey skin, and by the raised ridge which runs up the middle of their faces. [3] The males of this species are bald, [3] but the females grow hair similar to Humans on their heads. [2] Bolians have a have a cartilaginous lining on their tounge that protects them from even the most corrosive of acids. [4] Many Bolians serve in Starfleet; Captain Rixx was one of the most renowned officers in the fleet, and in 2364 was involved in countering the attempt by alien parasites to subvert Starfleet. [1] During Wolf 359 the tactical officer of the USS Saratoga was a Bolian, [5] while others of this race have served in more low level roles - for example the Bolian Mot served as a barber on the Enterprise-D. [6] Ambassador Vadosia, an important Bolian diplomat, visited Deep Space Nine in 2369. [7] In 2366 an alien species imitated Bolian Starfleet cadet Minena Haro in an attempt to study concepts of authority, but the ruse was quickly uncovered by Captain Picard. [2]
