The Da'al are a tall race, averaging 188 centimeters in height. Their appearance is humanoid, with grey skin that ranges from an almost porcelain to a deep slate color. There are undertones of red or purple beneath the skin, red being more likely to show the Da'al is from the northern regions, while purple tends to be dominant in Da'al from the southern part of the planet. Their eyes can be any color on the spectrum. | The Da'al are a tall race, averaging 188 centimeters in height.

The extent of their mental abilities are poorly understood, but Federation scientists believe that their ships may be powered (at least in part) by the minds of trained Da'al. | ||
Within Da'al society, this ability is known as Shu'Da'al.<ref name=":0">https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/nlb1IlZYza4/m/eYFlBv82BgAJ</ref> | |||

The Da'al have a culturally-significant set of sayings often referred to as "The Writings." The original author is unknown, and while these maxims are not revered in the same way as religious texts, they have come to be widely accepted as guiding principles for Da'al life. The full list of maxims has never been shared, but the first and most prominent is "Our strength lies in unity."<ref name=":0" /> | |||
