| - The Chelons (also known as Chelarians, or, generically, Rigellians) are a sentient race from the planet Rigel III. Chelon Ambassador Jetanian was a senior Federation diplomat in the mid-23rd century, and there was Chelon biologist who served aboard the USS Titan in the 2380s.

- The Chelons, also called Chelarians and Rigellians, were a sentient race resembling large saber-toothed turtles. They were native to Rigel III in the Beta Quadrant and were a Federation member race.
- Chelon[[:File:|[, ]]] is a rare turtle found slightly north-east of Huojin Landing.
- Chelon are descended from saber-tooth turtles which evolved to walk upright. They have cartilaginous shells, rigid beaks, and claws. They lack agility and stamina compared to average humanoid races, but they have an advantage in height, and they are more resistant to most forms of radiation.

- The Chelons, also called Chelarians and Rigellians, were a sentient race resembling large saber-toothed turtles. They were native to Rigel III in the Beta Quadrant and were a Federation member race.
- Chelon[[:File:|[, ]]] is a rare turtle found slightly north-east of Huojin Landing.
- Chelon are descended from saber-tooth turtles which evolved to walk upright. They have cartilaginous shells, rigid beaks, and claws. They lack agility and stamina compared to average humanoid races, but they have an advantage in height, and they are more resistant to most forms of radiation. Chelon are hermaphrodites, possessing only one sex. It has become customary in recent centuries for Chelon to assume a binary gendered identity, choosing to present themselves as either male or female, and sometimes changing gender at different stages in life. Traditional Chelon reject this notion, and are proud of their hermaphroditic nature. An openly hermaphroditic Chelon is addressed as Velom, i.e. 'this way, Velom Ganaiar'. Chelon's also possess several redundant evolutionary defence mechanisms, with fangs that can be used as a powerful biting weapon during combat. During times of stress, Chelon emit a deadly toxin through their skin, which can be transmitted via a claw strike. But as a mostly peaceful species, they rarely have to make use of these capabilities.
