Lyaksti'ktonian

The Lyaksti'ktonians are a reptilian species from the planet Lyaksti'kton, and members of the United Federation of Planets. They are best known for Saurian brandy, one of the most popular and infamous alcoholic drinks in known space. It is even exported to Romulan territory. Because other races were always so eager to come to them for trade, the Lyaksti'ktonians, whose civilization predates Humanity, never had to advance very far into space. Since becoming members of the Federation in the mid-23rd century, however, many have joined Starfleet. Lyaksti'ktonians in Starfleet service include Razka and Bazel. Lyaksti'ktonians have skin of red, brown, or green, and large bulging eyes. These are a clue to their nocturnal nature. Lyaksti'ktonians also possess a second set of eyelids which offer them infrared vision. They are comfortable moving underwater, being adapted to tropical rainforest and swampland, and can also move at speed on their clawed feet. Very strong, Lyaksti'ktonians can breathe a wide variety of gases, and are generally difficult to defeat in combat.
