Their distinguishing features include a slightly enlarged front cranium formed into two circular halves, separated by a shallow crease in the skin, which makes them appear almost cat-like. Their enlarged frontal skull bones and large cat eyes gives them latent feline features. It is often said that Ktarian eyes are exquisitely feline, and the enhanced bone structure lends them a certain elegance. | ||
This race is renowned for advancements in neurology, this led to their recent censure and embargo by the Federation. A Ktarian game distributed on Risa in 2368 had the neurological effect of rendering the player a tool of the Ktarian government. With this they planned a take-over of the Federation and other galactic powers. While Ktarian biotechnology is prized on the black market, the exotic technologies are banned as a sanction for their plot. | This race is renowned for advancements in neurology, this led to their recent censure and embargo by the Federation.

Damage between Ktarian-Federation relations does not seem to have lasted: the marriage of the U.S.S | Damage between Ktarian-Federation relations does not seem to have lasted: the marriage of the U.S.S Voyager's Xenobiologist (Ensign Samantha Wildman,) to a Ktarian named Greskrendtregk does not harm her Starfleet career and the Ktarian's have been present at a large number of interstellar conferences suggesting the race is not considered an enemy. | ||
Ktarian's grow at a faster rate than other humanoids. Half of Naomi Wildman's physiology caused her to grow very quickly; by the age of two, she resembled a four-year-old human child. Ktarian's also grow to be very tall. | |||
The Ktarian homeworld are covered by spectacular glaciers which makes the planet a spectacular skiing resort (and setting for skiing holodeck programs). However, Ktaria VII is evidently not an entirely glacial world since Ktarians are quite comfortable visiting warmer climates, such as those on the pleasure planet Risa. | The Ktarian homeworld are covered by spectacular glaciers which makes the planet a spectacular skiing resort (and setting for skiing holodeck programs).

Ktarian natives lay thousands of stones, each representing a separate prayer, around the tomb of their dead loved ones. Because of they are prayers for the dead, it is desecration to remove stones from a Ktarian tomb and is in fact illegal. Ktarians appear to be quite open about their culture, and trust outsiders to carry out expeditions to even their most sacred sites; Starfleet expeditions have been allowed to visit the famous Ktarian burial grounds. | Ktarian natives lay thousands of stones, each representing a separate prayer, around the tomb of their dead loved ones.

Ktarian food has worked it's way into the diet of Federation races, and in some cases has proved immensely popular. Fried Ktarian eggs are considered to be a breakfast delicacy. The eggs are large, with shells of a mottled brown and orange hue, although the yolk seems to be a rather unpalatable looking green. Ktarian desserts are rather indulgent; the Ktarian Chocolate puff contains at least 17 varieties of chocolate and is Counsellor Troi's favorite dessert. | ||
