History

Antarans have been at war with the Denobulans several times. The last conflict of which took place in the 19th century. However Antarans continued to strongly dislike Denobulans until at least the 2150s, even though encounters between the two species were extremely rare. This behavior was due to widespread prejudices, as every Antaran was taught from childhood that all Denobulans are enemies, to be feared and reviled.

After the Denobulans became members of the Federation the Antarans tried to form their own coalition of worlds. This effort failed. As a result they did not enjoy the many benefits that their enemies did. This was evident in the increased economic prosperity and technological advantages that the Denobulans were now enjoying.

Due to this rapid shift of power in favour of the Denobulans the government could only see 2 possible means of countering it. Declare war and attack with all their power or ingest their pride and ask for membership in the Federation.

It was a close call. A large section of the government and the people were in favour of declareing war. However when it became known that if they did the Andorians, Humans, Tellerites, Vulcans and the rest of the member worlds of the Federation would come to their aid this plan was dropped.

In 2209 they requested admission to the Federation. In 2213 the Federation voted and they were admitted. At this time the Antarans were suprised to learn that the Denobulans had voted in favour of their being admitted.

Government

The Antaran have an elected council of 11 individuals who serve for 11 years. Each year one member of the council is replaced with a newly elected candidate. The chairman of the council is the councilor who has served the longest and will be replaced at the end of the year by the newly elected councilor.

Description

The Antaran people are humanoid with hair on the back half of their heads. The males tend to keep thei hair short but the women like to grow it down past their shoulders. This gives them the impression of haveing a high forehead.

They have 2 ridges of flesh shaped like a V that starts at the top of their nose and ends at their hairline. They also have no eyebrows and protrudeing brow ridges that make their eye's seem deep sunk in their faces.

They have a wide range of sizes, heights and weights like most humanoids.

Federation Intelligance Files

The Antarans are an Alpha Quadrant species, strongly humanoid with a lifespan of at least 60 years upon reaching adulthood.

Antarans have been at war with the Denobulans several times, the last conflict of which took place in the 19th century. However Antarans continued to strongly dislike Denobulans until at least the 2150s, even though encounters between the two species were extremely rare. This behavior is due to widespread prejudices, as every Antaran is taught from childhood that all Denobulans are enemies, to be feared and reviled.

The 19th century dating is derived from Phlox's statement that they had not been at war for 300 years, in 2153. Hudak's statement that he was the first Antaran to see a Denobulan in six generations is most likely exaggerated, since it seems not uncommon for both species to travel to other planets.

The Antaran homeworld is quite far from Xantoras, and it would be rare to see one that far away from home. (ENT: "The Breach")
