The Boslics were a non-aligned, spacefaring humanoid species from the planet Cort.
History
The Boslics were warp capable as early as the 2150s. Their first encounter with humanity was when some of their slave traders attended an Orion auction where Starfleet officers were being held prisoner.
The Romulans conquered the Boslics in the 23rd century and occupied their homeworld Cort for ten years before the Boslics could force them out.
By the 2370s decade, several Boslics captained and worked on freighters, some more shady than others.
Biology
The Boslics had at least two distinct morphologies to their appearance. One type of Boslic had a smooth forehead and brow that brimmed slightly over the eyes, and meeting from both sides, together at the top of the nose. The second morphology type was characterized by ridged foreheads, wrinkled noses, and creased cheek bones.
Unlike many other species they did not suffer from any adverse psychological effects from living their whole lives in space. For the most part they were extremely well adjusted mentally.
Society & Culture
The Boslics are frequently involved with illegal activities, including slavery and smuggling. Because of this they were known associates of both Ferengi and Orion criminals. Although the Boslics were officially independent several Boslics joined Starfleet as part of cultural exchange programs although once joining the Federation these officers had limited contact back to their home world.
The Boslic have remained unaligned, despite a long history of trade relations with the Federation, and have yet to achieve a unified planetary government. This was largely do to the fact, as a space faring people, most of them are born aboard their freighters, and they were governed by the requirements of the family unit.
