The Arkonians were a species of humanoid reptilian native to the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. The Arkonians were warp-capable since the 2050s. Soon after, Vulcans established first contact with them. (ENT episode: "Dawn") Vulcans generally considered the Arkonians to be aggressive, dangerous and irrational. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)

abstract
  • The Arkonians were a species of humanoid reptilian native to the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. The Arkonians were warp-capable since the 2050s. Soon after, Vulcans established first contact with them. (ENT episode: "Dawn") Vulcans generally considered the Arkonians to be aggressive, dangerous and irrational. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)
  • Arkonians did not appear to have sweat glands and their bodies' hydration system was not based on water. Instead, they drank a brown liquid that they called "tarrat-aash". Their saliva had healing properties, as it could quickly repair skin abrasions. Arkonians could eject their saliva as a projectile while hissing. Their cellular structure was not capable of handling rapid temperature changes. In the final draft script of "Dawn" , the healing substance emitted by an Arkonian was referred to as "an odd, glandular fluid" and "spittle". The fluid was evidently composited into shots as an "optical" effect. In the early 2050s, the Arkonians achieved warp capability and the Vulcans soon made first contact with them. The first contact mission wasn't successful in establishing good relations. The Arkonians proved to be suspicious and deceitful and the Vulcans were soon recalled. For more than a century after that, the Arkonians and Vulcans had rocky relations. Arkonian destroyer captains would be wary of any ship that had even a single Vulcan on it. A deleted scene even suggests that capital punishment was to be expected by captains allowing Vulcans on their ship. In 2152, the Arkonians made first contact with Humanity through Enterprise NX-01. Captain Khata'n Zshaar had been sent to patrol a system the Arkonians had annexed, and sent a shuttle piloted by Zho'Kaan to investigate a shuttlepod that had been sent from Enterprise. When both shuttlecraft disappeared, the Arkonians and Enterprise had to work together to find their lost crewmen. (ENT: "Dawn")

Ze bleken verdacht en bedrieglijk te zijn en de Vulcans werden spoedig teruggeroepen. Meer dan een eeuw later, hadden de Arkonians en de Vulcans een wankele relatie. Arkonian verwoester kapiteins waren op hun hoede voor ieder schip dat ook maar één Vulcan aan boord had. In 2152, maakten de Arkonians eerste contact met de mensheid via de Enterprise. Kapitein Khata'n Zshaar was gestuurd om te patrouilleren in een bijgevoegd stelsel van de Arkonians en stuurde een shuttle bestuurd door Zho'Kaan om een menselijke shuttle te onderzoeken. Wanneer ze beiden verdwenen, moesten de Arkonians en Enterprise samenwerken om hun verdwenen bemanningsleden te zoeken. (ENT: "Dawn")

They are a short-tempered culture, and were engaged in conflict with Vulcans during the 22nd century. Nevertheless, first contact between this species and Humans, despite difficult at first, ended up being peaceful. Arkonians don't drink water, and find it umpleasant. Instead, they keep hydrated by consuming a syrup-like brown liquid called tarratt-aash. They are capable of spitting a liquid which can heal injures quickly, an efficient survival mechanism. Despite being physically strong, their cellular structure is highly vulnerable to rapid temperature changes. Arkonians first achieved warp technology in the 2050s, and made first cantact with Vulcans soon afterwards, but the suspicious and deceitful (according to Vulcans) nature of the Arkonians caused the relationship between the two species to become unstable.
