Plingon
The Plingons are a race of humanoid aliens featured in Star Wreck.
Little is known of the Plingons other than that they are a humanoid race that favours combat and has bad hygiene. They are short-tempered and badly mannered. Appearance-wise, they are mostly indistinguishable from humans, except for their ridged foreheads, hairiness, and dark skin. It is unclear if their dark skin is a racial trait or just the result of bad hygiene, as it's claimed that Plingon warriors never shower. They also seem to favour wearing shoulder belts.
In other sources[edit | edit source]
In the Star Wreck Roleplaying Game Plingons were expanded upon. Here, Plingons hail from the Plingon Empire, an interstellar state ruled by Empress Gaylass XIII. Plingon culture is highly militaristic and egalitarian - there is no distinction between men and women in society - and allows for homosexual relationships. Facial hair is regarded as a sign of maturity, and facial piercings are permitted - and even encouraged - to be worn by adult warriors. Plingons also favour distinctive swords.
