A Laudean female.
The Laudeans are a humanoid species and the only native sapient species on Til’ahn (also known as Luxis II or Duronis II). Laudeans feature three sexes – male, female, and lomale – and while, as with most humanoid species, the male provides a sperm and the female the egg and carries the child, the lomale is required to copulate with both the male and the female in order to provide essential gene sequences and enzymes that neither the female nor the male can synthesize naturally. Lomales comprise only 3% of the totally Laudean population.
The United Federation of Planets maintains an embassy on Til’ahn, although it was abandoned in 2381 and Romulan displaced by the Hobus event occupied the planet until the Federation reopened the embassy in 2388. The Laudeans are technically advanced, but the Duronis system, due to a natural process, does not allow for the creation of a stable warp field, and so the non-warp-capable Laudeans were unknown to the neighboring Romulans, Zalkonians, and the Federation for many years.

Interesting, are the Laudeans totally unique to Starbase 118 or were they in the TV series?
My brother has a scifi blog at http://www.scifiideas.com and is this week currently accepting articles about story ideas, planet ideas and new alien species. I thought it might be a good idea to submit articles to help promote Starbase 118 to an audience of writers?
Here’s an article explaining about ‘big ideas week’:

Laudeans are completely unique to SB118 — they were designed as the central characters in the Duronis II Embassy sim.
