The Phylosians were a species of sentient plants who were native to a planet they called Phylos. The Phylosians developed into a technologically advanced civilization. They had a naturally long lifespan, which was further extended by their greatly advanced medical science. At some point in their history, the Phylosians set about the task of enforcing peace in the galaxy. They built a fleet of large Phylosian starships, intending to use them for this task, but other events intervened. A Phylosian sat on the Elysian Council. (TAS: "The Time Trap")

  • Using their medical technology, the Phylosians extended their already lengthy life span, but nearly all life on the planet was destroyed (and with it, their dreams of galactic peace) when Stavos Keniclius accidentally introduced a bacterial infection to the planet. He cloned himself in an attempt to bring Phylos and its inhabitants back to their former grandeur. At least one Phylosian was a member of the Elysian Council. (TAS: "The Time Trap") Igmar was the first Phylosian in Starfleet. (Star Trek: Prometheus)
  • At some point in the past, they had a peaceful and advanced society and proclaimed themselves the task of spreading peace and order throughout the galaxy. Unfortunately, the arrival of an Earth fugitive scientist from the eugenic wars in the 22nd century inadvertently brought an infectious Earth bacterium to Phylos which nearly wiped out the entire species. The outcast scientist Dr. Keniclius helped to save the surviving Phylosians and later became their leader, convincing them that they shared the same goal of creating galactic peace. The Phylosians in turn helped Keniclius with his projects of genetic augmentation and cloning, which they believed would be the dawn of a better galaxy.
  • The Phylosians were a sentient plant species native to the planet Phylos. They had tentacles that were damp, green and leaf-like. The Phylosians are members of the Federation. (TAS episode: "The Infinite Vulcan", TAS episode: "The Time Trap" , ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation) The novelization of the episode (shown in Log Two) characterized the species as having no similarities to that of Humans or Vulcans, except in size. In 2294, a Phylosian sexually propositioned James T. Kirk in the Flag and Grog. (TOS novel: The Fearful Summons)

  • Using their medical technology, the Phylosians extended their already lengthy life span, but nearly all life on the planet was destroyed (and with it, their dreams of galactic peace) when Stavos Keniclius accidentally introduced a bacterial infection to the planet. He cloned himself in an attempt to bring Phylos and its inhabitants back to their former grandeur. Upon the USS Enterprise's visit in 2269, the Phylosians discovered the Federation had brought peace to the galaxy, letting Keniclius's clone and a clone of Enterprise first officer Spock work towards saving the Phylosians. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan") At least one Phylosian was a member of the Elysian Council. (TAS: "The Time Trap") Igmar was the first Phylosian in Starfleet. (Star Trek: Prometheus)
  • At some point in the past, they had a peaceful and advanced society and proclaimed themselves the task of spreading peace and order throughout the galaxy. Unfortunately, the arrival of an Earth fugitive scientist from the eugenic wars in the 22nd century inadvertently brought an infectious Earth bacterium to Phylos which nearly wiped out the entire species. The outcast scientist Dr. Keniclius helped to save the surviving Phylosians and later became their leader, convincing them that they shared the same goal of creating galactic peace. The Phylosians in turn helped Keniclius with his projects of genetic augmentation and cloning, which they believed would be the dawn of a better galaxy. After nearly a century of isolation the planet was visited by the Enterprise crew, which convinced the Keniclius clone and the Phylosians that the interstellar chaos of the previous century had already been converted in a more peaceful and prosperous state through the establishment of the United Federation of Planets. After the Enterprise visit, the Phylosians turned to direct their efforts into recreating their own civilization, with the help of the augmented clones of Keniclius and Spock (the later of whom had been kidnapped and cloned by Keniclius 5 while on the planet).
  • The Phylosians were a species of sentient plants who were native to a planet they called Phylos. The Phylosians developed into a technologically advanced civilization. They had a naturally long lifespan, which was further extended by their greatly advanced medical science. At some point in their history, the Phylosians set about the task of enforcing peace in the galaxy. They built a fleet of large Phylosian starships, intending to use them for this task, but other events intervened. Stavos Keniclius, a Human scientist, visited Phylos in search of what he called a perfect specimen. However, Keniclius was a carrier of a non-native, staphylococcus strain of bacteria that nearly destroyed all life on Phylos. He worked to save the Phylosians from his disease. Thanks to his work during the Eugenics Wars, he was able to create many clones of himself, in an attempt to undo the damage he caused. The Phylosians eventually referred to Keniclius as "the Master." When it became known that Keniclius had the same goal of imposing peace throughout the galaxy with a master race of clones, the Phylosians agreed to help Keniclius in acquiring the perfect specimen to copy. When the USS Enterprise visited Phylos in 2269, Stavos Keniclius 5, the fifth clone of the original Stavos Keniclius, chose Spock as the perfect specimen. He cloned Spock, creating Spock Two. However, the galactic chaos that Keniclius had hoped to combat no longer existed, thanks to the work of the Federation. Keniclius decided to give up the plan to create the army of clones, and instead planned to work on the problem of saving the Phylosian species. Spock Two also remained behind to help Keniclius with this task. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan") A Phylosian sat on the Elysian Council. (TAS: "The Time Trap") In the script for "The Infinite Vulcan", Phylosians are initially described thus; "They are Human size, but are not humanoid. Their heads are partially covered with a furry bristle... eye stalks but no mouths or ears are visible. The bodies are composed of a group of slender rope-like extensions, some of which hang down at the sides, and others of which bunch near the bottom before spreading out again into a loose collection of bulbous protuberances which are apparently the motive limbs. The body color is an ochre yellow, almost sickly. Despite their alien appearance, they seem to be passive and harmless; the voices we hear [from them] are quiet and reasoning." The script referred to Phylosian corpses as "giant twenty-five foot bodies covered with some kind of furry bristle." The script went on to say about the dead Phylosians, "There is no head as such, but at the top end is a mass that looks like an artichoke. Each body is composed of a series of furry rope-like extensions, bunching near the bottom and spreading out below that into a group of bulbous protuberances. The similarity of Agmar and his aides is obvious... but so are the differences." The novelization of "The Infinite Vulcan" (as published in Star Trek Log 2) notes that the external appearance of a living Phylosian had no similarities to that of Humans or Vulcans, except in size.
  • The Phylosians were a sentient plant species native to the planet Phylos. They had tentacles that were damp, green and leaf-like. The Phylosians are members of the Federation. (TAS episode: "The Infinite Vulcan", TAS episode: "The Time Trap" , ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation) The novelization of the episode (shown in Log Two) characterized the species as having no similarities to that of Humans or Vulcans, except in size. As a people, they intended on enforcing peace on the galaxy. These plans were delayed by the arrival of a Human Augment scientist named Stavos Keniclius in the 21st century. The bacteria strain he brought, staphylococcus, nearly wiped out the Phylosians. He stayed on the planet to assist them. With the help of Keniclius' fifth clone, Stavos Keniclius 5, they were going to try again in the 23rd century, but were dissuaded by Spock 2, the giant Spock clone. (TAS episode: "The Infinite Vulcan") Phylosians were among the spacefaring races who became trapped in Elysia, inside the Delta Triangle of space. A Phylosian had a seat on the Elysian Council. (TAS episode: "The Time Trap") In 2294, a Phylosian sexually propositioned James T. Kirk in the Flag and Grog. (TOS novel: The Fearful Summons) Mot considered Phylosian space as a possible (and incorrect) destination for Jean-Luc Picard and Data, who Mot gave Romulan hairpieces to in 2368. Mot ruled out the Phylosians, describing them as "vanquished". (TNG novelization: Unification) In 2407, the Phylosians were struck by a mysterious plague of unknown origins. Starfleet promptly sent medical teams, who found the task of finding a cure to be difficult due to the Phylosians' strange physiology. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many)
