Alpha |
Federation member species. Deltans are closely humanoid in appearance, distinguished by their typically bald heads. Like Vulcans, they have a form of contact empathic or telepathic power. This enables a Deltan to remove a person's ability to feel pain by touching them. [1]Deltans were renowned for being very attractive. When the ECS Horizon encountered a group of Deltans in 2141, the adolescent Travis Mayweather found that extensive workouts in the gym helped him to deal with his attraction for them. [2]
Deltans in turn regarded Humans as a 'sexually immature species', and in the 22nd century those who chose to serve in Starfleet were required to put a formal oath of celibacy on record and forgo sexual contact with Humans. [1]
