History
The Arbazan species was among the earliest civilizations encountered during Starfleet's explorations into deep space. Their stoic demeanor and unwavering commitment to their cultural values quickly earned them a place of respect within the fledgling Federation. Proud of their status as one of the first members of the Federation, the Arbazans take great pride in their contribution to galactic peace and cooperation.
Biology
Physically, Arbazans bear a striking resemblance to Humans, with slight differences in the forward portion of their skulls, which feature raised plates that reinforce their brows. This unique cranial structure is believed to provide additional protection to the Arbazans.
Society & Culture
The Arbazan culture is characterized by its adherence to conservative values, unwavering self-assurance, and strict adherence to social protocol. From a young age, Arbazans are immersed in a society where conformity to established norms and etiquette is paramount, and deviations from these standards are met with disapproval. Their society is highly byzantine with protocols and expectations guiding many of their decisions to avoid any signs of deviation or disrespect. They have a tendency to look down on other races that embrace or indulge in their baser desires. Arbazan society is often compared to
Vulcan society in terms of perceived "supression" of emotions.
