Acamarians

Humanoid race from the planet Acamar III.

The Acamarians had enjoyed peace for the past 100 years, with the exception of Acamar's nomadic Gatherers, who left their homeworld to become interstellar marauders.

These races appeared largely human with the exception of a facial cleft in their foreheads and the use of individualized decorative facial tattooing. Acamarian blood is based on an unusual iron and copper composite, making it readily identifiable.

Within Acamarian culture, membership in a clan is considered of great social and political importance, and conflicts between the various clans often became violent. One such feud, between the Lornaks and the Tralestas, lasted three hundred years, and ended only after the last Tralesta was dead.

The Acamarian government, headed by Sovereign Marouk, extended an offer of reconciliation to the renegade Gatherers in 2366. The negotiations, mediated by Jean-Luc Picard, were eventually successful.
