History
Very little is known about this species history. What is known is that many species have myths, legends and tales as well as occasional artifacts that seem to indicate that this species visited their world sometime prior to their developing advanced technology and space travel. However no concrete proof exists to prove that all these incidents were caused by the same species or even by the Illuminati.
The name given to this species was selected by Pro. Albert Dondermire, an expert in both archeology and xeno-biology. He selected the name due to certain conspiracy theories that seemed to indicate that a ultra secret organization had been behind the over all development and advancement of the human species on Earth. Some of the theories claimed this group was actually aliens.
At this time the existence of the Illuminati is still mostly conjecture.
Government
It is thought that they have an Oligarchy based Government. The family with the oldest members are usually in control. Although there exists no "Real" government as we know it. They have no need for Currency. There is no crime, aside from Murder, which only takes place during their election period which only occurs once every 50 earth years.
Laws
There is apparently only one crime that is enforced, that of the Crime of Murder.
Murder is the unlawful killing, with malice and aforethought, of another being, and generally this state of mind distinguishes murder from other forms of unlawful homicide like the accidental killing of another Illuminati. Since it is suspected that they have a type of hive mind, along with their own individual personalities, a Murder is almost always evident as either a Murder, or an accidental Killing. So there is rarely a need for a tribunal.
Punishment
The commission of a murder is highly detrimental to the good order within their society, it is considers a most serious crime worthy of the harshest of punishment. Those proven guilty of murder of another Illuminati has a choice. To be Banished from their home-world, or to join the victims family as the lowest ranking member.
Description
The following description is based on numerous historical documents claiming actual contact as well as the various legends, tales and myths that were found to be part of multiple species' historical data bases.
While this species does resemble Terrans in basic overall appearance, they are much taller and have slender limbs and torsos, due to the lower gravity environment on their planet. They are also always very pale skinned, and they have enlarged eyes, as well as Craniums. Similar to the Earth specific phenomenon of The Grey's.
- 1) Illuminati have completely black eyes with no discernible irises. It is believed that this is a natural evolution due to living in a Binary star system.
- 2) The second distinguishable physical feature is their completely hairless, and enlarge cranium. Also, their ears are simple cavities with no lobes or other protruding features.
- 3) The Illuminati have been described as being of a hive mind similar to The Borg. However. Unlike the Borg, they have a dual mind-set, where they can attempt to keep some of their thoughts private, possible remnant from their biological ancestors. Only everyday thoughts or emotions are capable of being kept secret. If there is any strength behind a thought or emotion, then it is impossible to hide.
- 4) The Illuminati have been shown an ability to enter and even control the minds of other beings.
- 5) The Illuminati have extremely long lifespans yet they do not seem to age as humans do.
- 6) In recent years when there has been an (Speculation) Illuminati sighting, they have exhibited a hostile demeanor as well as actions. In the past 400 years of sightings they have almost always been described as benign, or indifferent. There is no current hypothesis as to why the have become hostile.
Notable Facts
The Illuminati, have in the past been confused with the race called Talosian's. But there are too many differences for the comparison to hold any merit.
They have also been compared to the Earth Specific UFO phenomenon named The Greys
The Greys
The Greys are thought to be an extra-terrestrial species that were most often reported by people around the world. Reports from individuals who have been in contact with the Greys vary on their intentions: some say they are kind beings-here to guide us through our evolution, while others believe they are cruel invaders intent on ruling the planet. One thing is certain, most people who have come in contact with Greys believe that they are actively abducting people on a regular basis. The Greys are reported to be abducting individuals and extracting eggs or semen to create a grey-human hybrid. The Greys are also alleged to have crash-landed in Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. If the Illuminati, or The Greys do exist then there is a high probability that they are at least genetically linked, if not the same species.
The Betty and Barney Hill Abduction Controversy
Betty and Barney Hill were an American couple who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural portion of New Hampshire on September 19–20, 1961.The whole account can be read here.
The couple's story, called the Hill Abduction, and occasionally the Zeta Reticuli Incident, was that they had been kidnapped for a short time by a UFO. Theirs was the first widely-publicized claim of alien abduction, adapted into the best-selling 1966 book The Interrupted Journey and the 1975 television movie The UFO Incident.
Its importance is such that many of Betty Hill's notes, tapes and other items have been placed in a permanent collection at the University of New Hampshire, her Alma Mater. As of July 2011, the site of the craft's first close approach is marked by a state historical marker.
Various Greys Depictions
Physiology
Unknown at this time. Although it is highly likely that they are of an Immortal Race, or have Extremely long lifespans. Records indicated that at least one Illuminati was sighted on Phosbus-5 twice withing a 3000 year period. He (Or possibly She) could speak Phosbian and each time, he told the populace to call him Harkmir. The descriptions match also in Phosbus-5's historical records.
Psychology
Unknown at this time. Assumed to be Hostile.
Religion
None
Mythology
Unknown at this time.
Society
Oligarchy.
Culture

Technology
If this species does exist then examination of the various historical data bases of numerous species would seem to indicate that they had developed advanced technologies and space travel when some of their species were still living a primitive life style. One of the few things that seems to indicate that this species may be real is the various artifacts that have been unearthed. Certain elements are unknown in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. However thanks to the exploration conducted by the USS Voyager it has been determined that these unknown elements are from the Delta Quadrant.
As a result it is believed that they would still be more advanced technologically.
Economy
They have no need for an Economy as we know it..
Military
There is no evidence that they maintain any type of military force.
Federation Intelligence Files
No positive contact reports exist. However numerous species have some mention of the Illuminati in one form or another within their historical, and fictional data bases. The most famous account being that of Betty and Barney Hill, who gave a extremely detailed and documented account of their encounters with the Greys/Illuminati. The Full Report can be read Here.
