** Problem: The TNG Ktarian has a melodious name consisting of first name and surname: "Etana Jol" [The Game TNG]. Ensign Wildman's Ktarian husband [Dreadnought VOY], [Fury VOY], on the other hand, has a virtually unpronouncable, one-piece name: "Greskrendtregk" [Dreadnought VOY] | ** Problem: The TNG Ktarian has a melodious name consisting of first name and surname: "Etana Jol" [The Game TNG].

** Possible Explanation: Just as people from different parts of the Earth have different styles of name so do the Ktarians. This is increased by the fact they have two homeworlds.

** Problem: The TNG Ktarians have a quite alien physiology ([TNG] The Game): Etana Jol has a reddish skin colour, feline eyes and two characteristic bulges on her forehead, with a fissure between them. Naomi Wildman, on the other hand, has an almost entirely human appearance, apart from three small horns on her forehead. According to the doctor, these "cranial ridges" are running from the middle of the forehead over to the back of the head. | ** Problem: The TNG Ktarians have a quite alien physiology ([TNG] The Game): Etana Jol has a reddish skin colour, feline eyes and two characteristic bulges on her forehead, with a fissure between them.

This problem is increased in [VOY] Dark Frontier, since obviously a third type of Ktarians is introduced there: the tactical drone classified as "Ktarian... species 6961" neither resembles the VOY Ktarians nor the TNG Ktarians. Apart from an oddly shaped chin, he is completely human. | |||

[In the UFoP, Captain Rocar���?�s mother is one kind of Ktarian whilst his father is from the other planet. He therefore has a mixture of the two appearances, with slight ridges and less distinct cranial lobes.] | [In the UFoP, Captain Rocar���?�s mother is one kind of Ktarian whilst his father is from the other planet.
