- This is an article about the Sheliak race. You may also be looking for the star named Sheliak.
A Sheliak
Sheliak script
The Sheliak are a vaguely humanoid R3-type lifeform. The Sheliak are a reclusive people, avoiding contact with the Federation whenever possible. This may be due to the Sheliak attitude that humanoids are an inferior form of life. The Treaty of Armens was established in 2255 between the Sheliak and the Federation which ceded several worlds to the Sheliak. There was virtually no contact with the Sheliak for over a century thereafter, until they demanded that a Federation colony on Tau Cygna V be removed.
Sheliak colonists refer to themselves as "the Membership" and they have a governing body called "the Corporate".
Their homeworld is located in the Shelia star system. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
Unlike most humanoids, the Sheliak prefer to exist in an environment that is the same temperature as their bodies. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
- It is not clear if the Shelia star system is the same as the Beta Lyrae system with its primary "Sheliak", a real star 1,000 light years from Sol.
- The Sheliak was played by Mart McChesney, who also played the part of Armus in TNG: "Skin of Evil".
