Xantoras
History:
A belligerent, presumably humanoid species from Xantoras in the Beta Quadrant. The planet was noted
for its spectacular geology including caves boasting speleothems, calcite, aragonite, botyroidal flowstone and troctolites. It had a
diverse population of non-indigenous species that coexisted with the natives, all governed by the unstable Autarchy. Following a
military coup in 2153, all off-worlders were expelled with severe penalties threatened for resistance. Enterprise NX-01 was detailed
to recover a party of Denobulan geologists mapping a cave network and also lent aid to a crippled transport that the Xantorans
refused to permit to land for repairs.
