'''Talaxians''' were a warp-capable, technologically-advanced species native to the planet Talax in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. Within [[STNE]] (Space Trek: The New Empire) the talaxians are a scripted NPC, with the sole purpose of running the [[Talaxian Ship Auctions]], rare [[:Category:Talaxian Ships|Talaxian Ships]] are sometimes available on these auctions.

==History==
[[File:Oxilon.jpg|thumb|A Talaxian male]]
[[File:Dexa.jpg|thumb|A Talaxian female]]
The Talaxian race was an ancient one and they may have been warp capable as far back as the 1450s, when their race was contacted by the [[Vadwaur]]. It was unclear as to how this contact went, however a legacy of this contact survived in the Talaxian language as the word "''vadwaur''", which meant "''foolish''"- later interpreted by historians as being a reference to the fact that it was foolish to trust the Vadwaur- seemingly suggesting it didn't go well. The ancient Talaxians referred to themselves as ''Talax-ilzay''.

The Talaxian race engaged in a war with the Haakonian Order in the 2340s and 2350s. As a result of the war, many Talaxians emigrated to different regions of the [[Delta Quadrant]]. At least one group of emigrants had reached as far as the Delta/[[Beta Quadrant]] border. The war ended in 2355 with the deployment of the metreon cascade on the Talaxian moon of Rinax. Seeing the devastation caused by the cascade, the Talaxian government surrendered unconditionally.

The [[Borg]] referred to Talaxians as Species 218. A [[Talaxian freighter|small freighter]] was encountered by the Borg in the Dalmine Sector. The crew of 39 was easily assimilated.

A small fleet of Talaxians aided Tom Paris in retaking the USS Voyager from the Kazon-Nistrim in 2373. They lured the captured ship into a nebula where Paris, with his shuttle, disabled critical systems, forcing the Kazon to abandon the ship.

Five years later, ''Voyager'' encountered a colony of Talaxians, of at least five hundred people, living in an asteroid. They were wary of visitors and were plagued by miners who tried to drive them out. Neelix, the Morale Officer of ''Voyager'', assisted them by putting a plan in motion to place shield generators at key points around the asteroid. This successfully repelled the miners from evicting the Talaxians from the asteroid. Neelix later returned to the colony and assumed a post as Federation Ambassador to the Delta Quadrant.

==Physiology==
[[File:Talaxian feet.jpg|thumb|Talaxian feet]]
Physically the Talaxians were humanoid, with large amounts of yellow to reddish-brown spotting on their heads, arms and bodies. They had pale skin and a plume of ginger hair across the top of their heads.

Males also had ginger whiskers growing on either side of their face, these developed during puberty, much like facial hair in Humans, however the whiskers also have a pleasurable application as when tugged, the whiskers induced sexual arousal and feelings.

Talaxians were generally stocky and the musculature of their upper bodies was very dense. The Borg believe that this fact made Talaxians excellent combat drones.

Talaxians had spotted feet with long toes; the little toe was enlarged and rivals the innermost toe in size.

Talaxian blood was red.

The respiratory system of a Talaxian was directly linked, in various points, to their spinal cords.

Unlike humans, who had one spine, Talaxians have two spinal columns.

It is hinted at that Talaxians have a higher tolerance for spicy foods than other races, or at least Vulcans and Ocampans. In 2371, Neelix prepared a modified plomeek soup, a mere sip of which Tuvok found to be unpalatably "piquant". Neelix, on the other hand, was able to drink the soup as a beverage. In 2372, Tuvix reduced the spiciness of one of Neelix's usual recipes, which Kes found rather pleasing. On the other hand, this may be a reflection of Neelix's individual tastes, and not of Talaxians as a whole.
