As far as the name "Tarellian" goes, it is the species that appears in TNG's "Haven" trying to make the landing. In that episode, the aliens' physiology is similar to humans. In TNG's "Liaisons", where Picard is stranded by the Iyaarans in an attempt to understand human emotions, there is a downed freighter. The sole "survivor" identifies it as the remains of a Tarellian vessel, and Picard says something along the lines of "You're not Tarellian, unless you've lost four arms".
Are the two terms references to two distinct species, or is there a spelling difference between the two?

It could be one of those two, or a screw up by the writers. If I were betting on it, I'd take door number three.

IIRC, the encyclopedia says that they're two different races with different spellings.

From the various pronounciations I've heard, We seem to have: Turellians Tarellians Terellians Talarians Telerians & Tellarians (Tellarites?)
Methinks some folks just aren't creative.

I remember that list.

What list? My long list of all the races starting with 'T'? I wonder if I still have that anywhere. . .

For three years now I have been creating what I hope is the definitive supplement for the Encyclopedia. Already at more than a hundred pages in length one section includes races. Here is what I have relevant to this thread: Talarians--the warrior race from "Suddenly Human" Tarellians--the plague people from "Haven" Terellians--Four-armed humanoids from "Liaisons" and perhaps "Unification" Terrelians--Unseen race mentioned in "Gravity" and "Infinite Regress" Terrellians--A race mentioned in "Life Support" and seen in "The Fight" Tyrellians--Unseen race from a planet with no atmosphere or magnetic pole from "Starship Mine".
Hope this helps. I even have a UFP member list.

Firsty put up a list one day, with all the words used as names and the like, that started with T. It was a long list.

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
A VERY long list. Damn, where'd I put it? I'm not going through the whole encyclopedia again, especially since the sheer number of entries suggest that there must be an average of 5 new T-races per season of Trek, which means there must be 20 more by now!

What about the decidedly un-Talarian looking Talarian seen on DS9 and pictured in the Encyclopedia.

T_T: Galen's list has "Talarians (1)" and "Talarians (2)".

There is the Talarian/Telerian?? with four arms, supposedly Amarie from 'Unification' was one - the piano player... also Picard mentions one in 'Liasons' and supposedly The woman who played Seska, Martha Hackett was supposed to play one in All Good Things... it was filmed but cut for time.
