Humanoids distinguished by light blue skin and a narrow yet distinctive bifurcated ridgeline running at least from over the skull from the spine through the center of the face to the nose and sometimes down the neck. Bolian culture is one of service and research. Bolians also have longer ears than Humans and their blue skin tone can range from a yellowish green tinge to a blue or a darker green tinge to medium blue.
Though three Bolians who appear - V'Sal, Mot and Rixx - are bald, the Bolian Haro (later discovered to be a false image) has a head-full of styled, green-tinted blond hair, parted and thinning along the top front of her head and exposing her Bolian ridgeline. Bolians can be found in various places throughout the Federation. They are often seen around Deep Space Nine on the station's promenade - including Lysia Arlin, who runs the Jumja kiosk and has a crush on Constable Odo circa 47603. Bolian Freighters often visit Deep Space Nine and the area. Bolian "crystal steel" is a highly collectible material and not usually available on DS9 - one of Quark's would-be expanded sales items by inter-station monitor. A civilian female member of the blue-skinned, bilaterally-ridged humanoid species is a regular at Quark's, and is there in the Founders' imposed hallucinatory test of a United Federation of Planets-Dominion test. Another is an ensign in the security section on the sabotaged, Tzenkethi-bound Defiant. Cultural items include a variety of tomato soup.
