So the Jarada are bugs like the Shelliak? But do they wear cool moo-moos like the Shelliak?
That Vaugn is good for lots o' stuff! .......and he's been in Starfleet for 80 years? We could read 'bout him in the Stargazer series (if I had time to read anything just now!

the new book has dropped some fascinating hints about a flashback aboard the Enterprise-B when Vaughn was a young officer.

The Sheliak were lumpen things, though they did appear to wear a stylish (if completely nonhuman) jumpsuit. The one we saw looked vaguely like an Excalbian, actually, minus the rockiness. They are an "R-3" lifeform, whatever that means. They have a charming fondness for hard radiation.

I thought the Sheliak looked slightly like Armus, that cheerful oil-based chappy?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

So did I. But taking another look confirmed that the only real thing they have in common with him is their color. The Sheliak have arms, for instance. Only roughly defined arms, but arms.

The Sheliak were never bug/insectoid people. They were Xenophobic and look like Armus regects, but they were never "bugs". I'm gathering a lot of people are taking the pocket-book novels too much to heart/as fact.

Hmmm....I never read the pocket books. Don't know why I thought "insect"....mabye I'm just tried as hell of bipedal, humanoid aliens everywhere in Trek.
The fondness for hard rads is charming, however a whole race of attorneys is not.
and their spaceship sucked.
