Editors Notes A sentient species which reproduces by budding, apparently asexual -- otherwise nondescript except for the need for a hatchling pond.  The culture is represented in Starfleet and on Deep Space Nine by Ensign Vilix'pran, who was reassigned away from the hazardous materials of Cargo Inspection a month before his buds underwent hatching.  By 2373 he held the rank of Lt. and had 6 children with more on the way.  Jake Sisko occasionally babysat for him.
