- A Species with a long history alongside the Federation. A highly developed and advanced culture, they had been allied and trading partners of the Vulcans prior to Earth's first contact in 2063, and were among the first few alien species that humanity encountered.
As a species they value openness and knowledge and
display a gregarious, outgoing nature, that seems to set them apart from the
emotionless Vulcans.As a species they extol the virtiues of learning and the
arts, and are strong in Artistic and Scientific fields (they are open to both
advanced and alternate paths of learning, and have long combined the two),
along with an open, curious nature that seems to embody the Vulcan philosophy
of IDIC, it is little wonder that both Vulcans and Denobulans became firm friends
and staunch allies.And the highly adaptive and emotional nature of the species
enabled a link with the Humans, the two species becoming firm friends at speed.
Many conjecture that the Denobulans were the bridging factor between the
Vulcans and Humans allowing the core of the Federation to firm up during the
early years allowing the two species to work past their differences and become
the allies that would eventually form the Federation.Indeed, the Interspecies
Medical Exchange program active in the mid 22nd century was indeed an effort to
help bring the two species together, initiated by the Denobulan medical council.
While the Denobulan's were not among the first 5 founding members of the
Federation, they did however retain a close alliance, until their full membership
was approved shortly afterwards, and since that time the Denobulans have
become staunch supporters of the Federation.
Denobulan Culture accepts polygamy, and the number of wives taken by an
individual can be viewed as a sign of status, although Monogomist marriages are
not unheard of.This is an established practice as Denobulan males are
outnumbered by females.The most common marriages leave the average Male
Denobulan with between 1-3 wives.
The Denobulan's are humanoid in nature, with a pair of cartilage ridges that run
from their cheekbone to the top of their forehead, where it tends to disappear
under a high receding hairline.Their facial muscles are densely packed, and this
is most obvious when a Denobulan grins, giving them a far larger smile than
would seem possible.

- Position: Doctor
- Assignment: Chief Medical Officer, Enterprise NX-01
- Previous Assignment: Starfleet Medical, via Interspecies Medical Exchange
- Full Name: Phlox
- Birthplace: Denobula
- Marital status: Three wives on home planet
- Office: Enterprise NX-01 Sickbay, E-Deck
- Profile: Report of Starfleet Diplomatic Relations Office
- Dr. Phlox is a congenial fellow who balances an oblique sense of humor and a
happy disposition, along with a natural scientific curiosity that retains a sense of
humanity. His Sickbay is home to a growing collection of "stuff" some alive,
some not gathered from various sources. At Captain Archer's request, Phlox
agreed to join the new Enterprise as Chief Medical Officer. Phlox's background in
intergalactic medicine is indispensable, though his approach to the healing arts is
sometimes startling.
