Despite the hedonistic nature of the humanoid natives of the strategically important world Argelius II, their planet has long known as a friendly shore-leave spot for Starfleet, even after the murderous [[ma:Redjac|Redjac]] entity was discovered there in 2267. Over a century later, [[ma:Quark|Quark]] wondered about putting an [[ma:Argelian|Argelian]] massage facility in [[ma:Elim Garak|Garak's]] old storefront if he didn't want to reopen his shop. | Despite the hedonistic nature of the humanoid natives of the strategically important world Argelius II, their planet has long known as a friendly shore-leave spot for Starfleet, even after the murderous [[ma:Redjac|Redjac]] entity was discovered there in 2267.

A culture devoted to peace and pleasure, and almost identical to Terrans, the resorts of Argelius are known for their warm hospitality, good food, and virtually nonexistant crime rate. Some Argelian women are known to have certain empathic and low-grade telepathic abilities. The Argelians have little ability or desire for administration and usually hire outworlders for most low and mid level governmental jobs. | |||

After Elim Garak blew up his tailor shop on Deep Space 9 in 2371, Odo mentioned to Garak that Quark had expressed an interest in opening an Argelian massage parlor in the space formerly inhabited by the shop. Garak remarked that he doubted Captain Sisko would approve of such an "interesting" establishment on the Promenade.

Outwardly identical to Humans, the Argelian race is known for its hedonistic, peace-loving nature, which was acquired after undergoing a period in Argelian history known as the Great Awakening circa the 2060s. At this time their society was fundamentally reformed from violent to placid. Since the Great Awakening, the Argelians have adopted a pacifist way of life, deploring any form of violence. | |||
Some Argelians possesses psychic powers, but it is not a common characteristic to this race. This pleasure-loving cultural trait makes it necessary to import administrative officials from other worlds to maintain order. This pacifist philosophy almost resulted in a planetary judicial crisis when in 2267 three murders were committed, a crime for which the punishment would have been death by slow torture due to laws from before the Awakening. Fortunately the Argelians did not have to execute anyone as the murderer turned out to be a non-humanoid lifeform. | |||
