==Using other sources==
There are two other good sources on the internet for Star Trek species which are both equally accessible. The first is [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], and the second is [http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/index.php/Main_Page Memory Alpha]. Both of these sites allow you to "borrow" any and all text freely, so feel free to move some, or all of the articles they have there to our Wiki! However, as a courtesy to them (and as part of Memory Alpha's sharing "license"), please include either one of these tags at the bottom of your species page, right above the categories:
