* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The Choblik race, of which Torvig is a member, is viewed with suspicion and anger by some due to their use of cybernetics (like [[Big Bad]] the Borg Collective).

* [[Five-Token Band]]: The ''entire crew''. Apparently Starfleet shoved every "problematic" humanoid representative and non-humanoid officer they had on one ship and filled out the ranks with some gay people and emotionally compromised indivuals. [[Fridge Logic]] makes the fact that the ship's mission is to go really, really far from Federation space and stay there as long as possible [[Unfortunate Implications|look kind of bad if you think about it too much]].
* [[Foil]]: In ''Sword of Damocles'', the [[The Eeyore|gloomily pessimistic]] Thymerae race are introduced in the form of aMershik, in order to be a foil for the Deltans, represented by Peya Fell.

* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Y'lira Modan and other Seleneans. In their natural state they are only semi-Humanoid at best, and rather ferocious looking. The Selenean Pod Mothers, who have great control over their offspring's genetics, have bred certain broods designed specifically for offworld contact. These individuals, Y'Lira Modan among them, take a form more pleasing to humanoid eyes, but retain the ability to shift into their natural state if need be.

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: According to the Pa'haquel, the so-called "vampire cloud" from an episode of the Original Series was a bio-engineered weapon that ran amok.

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: The {{spoiler|Neyel}}, who started out as human, {{spoiler|but re-engineered themselves to better survive in space}}. They first appeared in [[Star Trek: The Lost Era]].

* [[Have I Mention I Am Gay?]]: Ranul Keru is a sort of twofer. Text portions from his point of view constantly mention him being in mourning over his lover Sean (the helmsman from ''First Contact''). Serving to remind us yet again, hey look, a gay main character, but also that there was '''totally''' a gay character in the series proper, guys, honest!
* [[Heaven]]: Endless Sky is the Efrosian equivalent.

* [[Heavyworlder]]: The S'ti'ach, who resemble metre-high four-armed blue teddy bears, but are denser than they appear. In early books they are said to be superdense, but in a later book a S'ti'ach character points out the perils of having a lot of mass on a high gravity world. Apparently, this is a rumour spread by the S'ti'ach themselves; they're aware of how cute they look to humanoids, and want to discourage attempts to pick them up and cuddle them.
