Obviously there’s not room for every alien race here - but I’d love to hear about it if you chose one not on this list!

Troi & Riker are such goals. Wildly in love, aggressively respectful of each other, had a lengthy qpr phase, can go from "totally professional" to "shamelessly horny" in under a minute, Big Polyam Vibes, clearly perfect for each other, always ready to hype the other's careers. What else can you want out of a partner?

we need a main captain of a show to be a non-human. i don’t want timmy from illinois anymore. i want;
a trill captain who keeps running into enemies and friends from their old lives
a betazoid captain who has a hard time making decisions because they can feel the emotions of the people they impact
a vulcan captain serving with primarily a human crew, with both the crew and the captain working together to try and understand one another (spock, i know, but i’m talking a whole show here)
a klingon captain trying to preserve their families’ honor while staying true to their starfleet duties and their crew
a bajorian captain feeling like they abandoned their people after cardassian rule
an orion captain whose a refugee, risking their entire life to cruise the galaxy
and, while this is a very questionable idea, a Q captain just fucking around for the hell of it
basically, not having non-human captains is a missed opportunity

Lwaxana Troi is a betazoid who can read the thoughts and feelings of many species, yet sometimes seems oblivious to others. Most notably she sometimes describes people as being interested in her, while they take steps to avoid her.

I couldn’t deal with it anymore I’ve gotta have an explanation for why all Betazoids on Voyager have extremely human names so I’ve made up my own:
Lieutenant Veronica Stadi: one of her parents was a xenobotanist who were fascinated with the alien flora of Earth. She’s actually named after her mom’s favorite alien flower Veronica longifolia, also known on Earth as the Speedwell. Veronica probably picks up the nickname Speedwell as an almost-pun on her ability to fly ships really speedily and really well all while avoiding quantum filaments
Juliet Jurot: given that she choses to attend the Vulcan Science Academy, I’m just going to assume that her whole family is very interested and open to experiencing the cultures of other species. Thus she’s named after the Shakespeare character - her father had a deep and important friendship and working relationship with a Klingon translator who worked on translating Shakespeare from the original Klingon into several Betazed languages. She’s a little mad that out of all the Shakespeare characters her dad could have picked he went for the tragic teenager and Jurot just has to carry that reference as a level-headed adult woman now, but she also does see the appeal of the alliteration over like “Perdita Jurot” (Sycorax Jurot though, now there’s a fucking cool Betazoid name)
Lon Suder: his parents were SO psychic that they saw both into the future and outside of the bounds of the narrative and knew their son would be in a horror episode of Star Trek: Voyager and were like “hmm let’s name him after renowned Earth horror actor Lon Chaney just to be thematically appropriate; that’ll be fun for a couple people in the audience to speculate on.”
