Denobulans

Humanoid species. The Enterprise NX-01‘s Dr. Phlox was Denobulan.^[1] The Denobulans hailed from the Denobula Triaxa System^[2] (Iota Bootis),^[6] and only required six days of sleep per year (though, according to Phlox, two would suffice).^[3] It was common for Denobulans to have multiple spouses—Phlox had three wives, who, in turn, each had two other husbands. Mating among this species was, apparently, very complex compared to human traditions.^[4] Most Denobulans did not like to be touched.^[5]
