	The Arcturans have translucent, chalk-white, or reddish-gray skin, which forms heavy folds on their heads. They have large earlobes and small amounts of platinum hair. Arcturan native dress include a leather-and-fur tunic while contemporary styles are direct variations of [[Earth]]'s Elizabethan England. They have a fairly resistant immune system and can easily survive a few days without food and water. As a rule they suffer from very few diseases and tend to recover rapidly from most injuries.

			==Social==
			As a culture, the Arcturians appear initially to be contemptuous of other species, though they often do form friendly and sincere relationships on an individual basis. They developed ''in vitro'' fertilization techniques that border on—but do not cross the line with—genetic manipulation. This centuries-old tradition began with the intent to strengthen their species' immune system from an ecology rife with disease vectors (natural and artificial) and became the norm. As such, they frown on typical sexual reproduction. The ''in vitro'' fertilization technology has an emphasis on incubation chambers, with a large percentage of the population being birthed without the normal gestation within the females of the species.<ref name=SFC>SFC</ref>

			They are far more militaristic than even [[Andorians]] or [[Humans]]. The constant demand for troops in the industrial period's overlapping states of war between nation-states led to rapid incubation of a cultural subset referred to as the "Warborn", which served as troops within 16 months of incubation, using pharmaceuticals and hormone boosters to induce parthenogenetic breeding. Once the planet united, these troops stood ready to defend Upra. After joining the [[Federation]] in [[2192]], these plans were adapted to serve the [[UFP]] in times of crisis. While Arcturians have always served in [[Star Fleet]] (and the [[SFMC]]), the closest the Warborn came to actual combat was when open conflict with the Klingons erupted. A large "batch" of Arcturian warriors were created; most were (voluntarily) placed into stasis.<ref name=SFC>SFC</ref>

The '''Arcturians''' are an early contact species of [[Earth]]. Their most outstanding feature is their physical form, while socially they are a culture in flux: a strongly militaristic society, they are adopting and adapting entertainment and fashion from a specific period and place of [[Earth]], becoming a cultural mecca for the performing arts and style trends.<ref name=SFC>SFC</ref>
