Harbards

Harbards are a fictional species from the Star Trek franchise, primarily appearing in the video game Star Trek: Bridge Commander. They are a reptilian race known for their stoic nature and formidable military prowess. Physically, Harbards are characterized by their scaled skin, powerful builds, and distinctive facial features. They hail from the planet Harbar, located in the Harbard system.

The Harbard Union is their governing body, and they are often depicted as a rival or at least a cautious neighbor to the United Federation of Planets. Their society is highly structured and disciplined, with a strong emphasis on honor and duty. In Star Trek: Bridge Commander, players often encounter Harbard vessels and forces, engaging in combat and sometimes diplomacy. Their technology is advanced, though it often differs in design philosophy from Federation or Klingon systems, favoring robust and heavily armored ships.

Harbard culture values tradition and strength. They are not typically portrayed as inherently evil, but rather as a species with their own agenda and a willingness to defend their interests forcefully. Their interactions with other species can be complex, ranging from outright hostility to uneasy alliances when facing common threats. The Harbard presence in the broader Star Trek lore is limited, with their main narrative arc confined to the events of Bridge Commander.
