--Pramsaroop (talk) 13:38, 26 May 2022 (UTC)== Need to add Illyrians ==[reply]

"The Illyrians are a pariah species to the UFP, vilified for their prodigious use of bioengineering and augmentation to improve their genetics — all of which goes against the Federation’s anti-eugenics ethics."

"Una [Number One on Star Trek - Strange New Worlds] reveals the reason she managed to survive unscathed: she’s an Illyrian herself, engineered to resist any infection. Her heritage, which should prevent her from serving in Starfleet at all, may now hold the key to saving the day. This confirmation of a long-standing ‘beta canon’ backstory for Una, if in a slightly different form to its appearance in Vulcan’s Glory, is a very nice addition to the narrative."

WP:SPS. Not a reliable source. DonIago (talk) 13:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide a third-party source to establish that Illyrians have received some level of significant coverage. This isn't Memory Alpha and we shouldn't be adding every alien species ever mentioned in the franchise. DonIago (talk) 13:56, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found an article that mentions four categories of life forms in Star Trek, from the practical perspective of the makeup artist[1]. The four categories were human, humanoid, alien, and also Westmore aliens. The article also mentions the theory of parallel development to explain why so many of the life forms in Star Trek are not so alien. I was thinking that this was something that might be paraphrased and added to the introduction of this article to provide a little context to the list. -- 109.76.195.193 (talk) 03:02, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
