Erbians

Erbians are a fictional humanoid species from the Star Trek universe, first introduced in the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks. They are a peaceful and somewhat eccentric species native to the planet Erbis, located in the Alpha Quadrant. Erbians are known for their distinctive appearance, featuring large, round eyes and a distinctive, elongated nose. Their society is characterized by a strong emphasis on community and cooperation, with a unique cultural practice known as "Erbianism," which involves a collective decision-making process where all members of the community have a say in major decisions.

Erbians are also known for their advanced technology, particularly in the field of bioengineering and environmental sustainability. They have developed a method of terraforming planets to suit their needs, which has been studied by the Federation. Despite their peaceful nature, Erbians have a rich history of exploration and diplomacy, often serving as ambassadors and mediators in interstellar conflicts.

The Erbians have a complex relationship with the Federation, often serving as allies and sometimes as adversaries. Their unique culture and technology have made them a valuable asset in various Starfleet missions, particularly in the exploration of new worlds and the resolution of diplomatic disputes. Despite their peaceful demeanor, Erbians are not without their challenges, and their society faces internal and external pressures that test their resolve and adaptability.
