Arcturian in 2273

The Arcturians are members of the United Federation of Planets, hailing from the Arcturus system.

A popular beverage created by the Arcturians is the Arcturian Fizz. (TNG: "Menage a Troi")

Arcturus IV also has an animal known as the Arcturian dog bird. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")

Appearances

Note

The Arcturians are a race of clones from the densely populated Arcturus IV. They provided the backbone of Federation infantry, not least because, if needed, the Arcturians could clone billions of new soldiers overnight. This is somewhat disturbing as it implies that the cloned soldiers are more expendable.

This information was never on screen, but comes from behind-the-scenes notes made by Robert Fletcher and Fred Phillips for Star Trek: The Motion Picture". It should be noted this is probably not canon, as cloning is strictly against Federation policy, and we didn't see one in the Dominion war.
