R'ongovians are a spacefaring species native to R'ongovia in the Beta Quadrant. The planet borders Federation, Romulan and Klingon territory. Physically thay are humanoid in appearance feature a striped skin. They do not have hair on their heads. They also feature bright blue and yellow eyes, have sharp teeth and pointed ears. [1]

In 2259, the Tellarites established relations with the R'ongovians but negotiations for them to join the Federation faltered and they began negotiations with the Romulans and Klingons. In an attempt to have them join delegates were invited to Starbase 1 for further negotiations. Captain Vasso L'Gaelia and Brax met with both Admiral Robert April and Christopher Pike, but once again failed to make any headway. A later meeting with Spock also failed achieve common ground. They did however, seem impressed by Pike's defence of Spock's place in Starfleet. Leading them to allow a final meeting. [1]

It was this that lead to Pike realising that they prised empathy of others point of view over all else. Pike used this discovery to provide the many reasons that the shouldn't join the Federation. Quoting potential cultural dilution and hostility they would face from other races from being a member. After this meeting they R'ongovians left, but, flew the flag of the Federation from their flagship, indicating that they would join the Federation. [1]
