      Oh, yeah, I’ll give you Vulcan. Do the Xindi all count as one species? I took them to be six (well, five now) distinct species that all evolved on the same planet. As for Andorian, I guess they have the Aenar but Shran described them as a “sub-species”. Not sure if that was racism on his part or not. Orions I’ve never seen portrayed as anything but green.

        You are right, Xindi and Andorian/Aenar are actually different species, so that shouldn’t count. There were blue Orions in The Animated Series and Lower Decks

          Hey, that’s awesome. I never even noticed while watching LD bc they spent so much time just expanding Orion culture in general. Such a good show.
