Talaxian

The Talaxian is a humanoid civilization in the Star Trek universe native to the planet Talax in the Delta Quadrant. The Talaxians surrendered to the Haakonian Order in 2356 after a decade-long war was ended by the deployment of the metreon cascade, a deadly weapon that killed over 300,000 Talaxians on Rinax. Talaxians who came in contact with the fallout from the metreon cascade suffered metremia, a deadly blood disease.

The Talaxian respiratory system is directly linked to multiple points along the spinal column. That, coupled with the noted Talaxian strength, makes the species efficient for use as Borg drones. In the Borg species classification code, Talaxians are Species 218.
