About Bolians

General Description:
        Bolians are bald and blue skinned with a vertical ridge running
ventral and dorsal.  Their homeworld is Bolarus IX, a member planet of the
United Federation of Planets.

Appearances:
        Captain Rixx of the USS THOMAS PAINE in 'Conspiracy' (1st season TNG)
        Cadet Minena Haro in 'Allegiance' (the episode where Picard and
three other 'specimens' were abducted (she turned out not to be a Bolian,
actually))
        Mr. Mot, the recurring barber on TNG
        tactical officer on the SARATOGA in 'Emissary' (the DS9 premiere)
        Ambassador Vadosia in 'The Forsaken' (DS9)
        several extras, including an appearance in 'Time's Arrow' (Mark Twain
sees one on the ENTERPRISE and refers to him as 'that blue fellow')
and, most recently, in the galley of VOYAGER in 'Caretaker'

Conjecture:
        I extrapolate this from the few speaking appearances of Bolians I
have noted.
        Bolians seem outgoing, affable, and, apparently, love to give
advice.  This can take the form of good-natured suggestions to patronizing
busy-bodiness.
        I suspect that Bolians have fewer social barriers than most races
and tend to have a limited sense of private and public space.  They would
tend to be very social and would tend towards the 'soft' sciences -
Sociology, Psychology, etc.
