Yup, it's that time again. I've been busy redesigning my site again, and this also includes updating my Members database. And I have a few questions for you..
- First, does anyone here have the FASA Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Sourcebook Update? This is allegedly the book where the Voyage Home aliens (Arkenites, Ariolo etc.) got their names. Can anyone confirm this?
- In Bjo Trimble's "On the Good Ship Enterprise: My 15 Years With Star Trek" there's a chapter called "Worene" -- A Special Alien in ST:TMP. Therin's website lists the freaky female alien as "Worene". Is there any evidence to support this? Does anyone have this book?

I recall that the STIV names were makeup department names, like those from TMP, appropriated by FASA for their books. I don't have a source, though, so maybe I'm off.
-Xelation- (Wirey hair and a coppery welding helmet) -Arkenite- (Ugly bald comm officer at SFHQ (Michael Berryman's character)) -Tellerite- (Pig guys) -Zaranite- (Masked with breathing tubes (Also from TMP)) -Ariolon- (Centaur (horse/man) withhood draped over head) -Andorian- (Blue skin, antennae, ya know) -Efrosian- (White hair, Saratoga Helm; Trek VI president) -Caitian- (Cat person (also in TAS)) -Arcadian- (Large plastic head, vaguely oriental features) -Edoan- (Triple limbed, also in TAS) -Vulcan- (Pointy-eared people, duh) -Bzzit Khaht- (Amphibian, Shown on BTS special with eyes turned around) -Kasheetan- (Reptilian, seen two rows behind Sarek and Gillian at the end of Trek IV) -Deltan- (bald sexual people)

Yes I have the book, but there's two full pages for each race and they run from page 49 to page 79. I can't type that much out! Yeesh, it would be literally half the book. The first half of the book is background info on Trek III and IV timeframe, Security Procedures, Federation Council stuff and a FASA derived timeline of events. The other half is just the aliens.
The Edoans may not have been in the movie. Many of the alien pages have a picture in addition to a sketch, but The Edo page has only sketches, so they're probably not to be found.
Xelata III (Tau 56) Arken II (Arken) Tellar V (61 Cygni) Zaran II (Byrdica) Fillandia I (Bartz' Star) [The Ariolo] Andor VIII (Epsilon Indi) Efros IV (Flarset) Cait IV (Caitia) Arcadia V (Vellun Gamma) Edo III (Epsilon Minora) Vulcan III (40 Eridani) Althos IV (Nakagima 62B) [Bzzit Khaht] Kashet II (Isis Kash) Delta IV (Delta Principus)

Shouldn't it be Epsilon Indi VIII instead of Andor VIII, Flarset IV instead of Efros IV, etc.? That's like calling our planet Terra III.

SoundEffect's chart is misleading. The FASA book gives the details as, to pick one example:
