Deltan's have characteristically little body hair, all having bald heads. Deltans have an inherent talent for mathematics and geometry. The Deltan race also has a very highly developed sexuality and some form of sexual expression is inherent in most aspects of Deltan culture. Deltans are the one known humanoid race in which pheromones play a major role. Deltan pheromones cause powerful sexual stimulation in almost all humanoid species. In fact, Deltans in Starfleet are required to take an Oath of Celibacy, so that they do not take advantage of less sexually advanced species. Deltans have limited telepathic abilities. Enterprise navigator Ilia, who was killed by a probe from V'Ger, was a Deltan.
