The Talarians are a race of humanoids bordering Federation and Klingon Territories. Fiercly proud, the Talarians have not yet come under the domination of either of the major powers on their borders. Talarian society is patriarchal and encourages warlike behavior. All young males serve in the Talarians armed forces, and many ships are used as training vessels. The fact that the Talarians have such a large pool of starship crews and ground troops is a leading factor in why their people have not yet been conquered.
The Talarians have been in conflict with the Federation for most of the 2350's, including a Talarian assault on Galen IV in 2356 that left the Federation colony destroyed.
