Starfleet Races Summary
This is a summary list of Star Trek races suitable for characters in a Star Trek campaign. The list is compiled from a variety of Star Trek: The Role Playing Game published rulebooks and sourcebooks plus a few from later series that I created game statistics for for use in my campaigns (such as the Trill). Some racial elements reference the optional rules presented on this site, such as the Traits and the Psionics rules.

- 1 in 10 Trill are joined with a long-lived, slug-like symbiote. When the host Trill dies the symbiote is transplanted into a new host, a great honor among the Trill. The symbiote carries with it the memories and amalgamated personality of the previous hosts. These memories and personality is merged with the new host. Once joined, removal of the symbiote is fatal to the host Trill.
- Since joined Trills have all the previous host's memories, GMs may wish to allow Trill characters to use skills that previous hosts may have possessed but that the character does not have.
- Because of the delicate relationship between Trill host and symbiote, joined Trills are more susceptible to otherwise minor injuries and infections.
