Description
Civilization of
humanoids native to planet Bolarus IX (Allegiance -TNG) and distinguished by a light blue
skin and a bifurcated ridge running down the center of the face. Their blood is
blue. (The Adversary -DS9). Bolians have very different blood chemistry from
Vulcans. A blood transfusion from a Vulcan to a Bolian would be fatal for the Bolian
(Prototype -VGR). Bolians have a cartilaginous lining on their tongues.
(Flashback -VGR). The Bolians have a principle of assisted suicide that dates back
to their middle ages. This was termed the double effect principle, and it deemed
ethical any action that relieved suffering, even if that same action had the secondary
effect of causing death. (Death Wish -VGR). Captain Rixx, commander of the
Starship Thomas Paine, was Bolian (Conspiracy -TNG), as was Starfleet cadet Mitena Haro
(Allegiance -TNG), Enterprise-D barber Mr. Mot, Ambassador Vadosia (The Forsaken -DS9),
and the tactical officer aboard the Starship Saratoga, destroyed in the battle of Wolf
359. (Emissary -DS9).

gambling emporiums (Ferengi Love Songs -DS9). Many Bolians lived on Earth in the
24th century (Hope and Fear -VGR).
