This is a list of sentient (or self-aware) species. For non-sentient organisms, see non-sentient lifeforms.
Corporeal
Headline text
Bold textbjbjhbhbhbhbhbBold text Corporeal species have a physical body, usually composed of carbon- or silicon-based cellular structures. Most corporeal races metabolize energy by consuming food or photosynthesis, and have a finite life cycle consisting of distinct periods of growth, maturity, and senescence. Intelligent corporeal species frequently enhance their capabilities with technology. (See also: humanoids)
- Alpha and Beta Quadrant species
- Gamma Quadrant species
- Delta Quadrant species
- Extra-galactic species
- Spaceborne species
Noncorporeal
Noncorporeal species are composed of various forms of coherent gas or energy. Most noncorporeal races absorb and utilize energy directly from their environment. Generally noncorporeal species do not utilize technology, compensating with intrinsic physiological capabilities. Some noncorporeal races have evolved beyond the need for sustenance, and wield substantial control over space and time.
Artificial
Artificial species are usually created by another species, and can be sentient by design or have attained sentience spontaneously. There are two general types of artificial life: The first is a machine constructed from mechanical components. The second is a software program, which is reliant on a suitable computer in which to exist. These programs may manifest themselves physically in the form of holograms.
- Self-aware machines
- Self-aware programs
Trans-dimensional
Trans-dimensional species are life-forms originating from a reality outside the normal space-time continuum. They can take a variety of forms which may or may not be comparable to those in this universe, depending on the nature of their native realm. Some trans-dimensional races are unable to survive in this universe without assistance.
Mirror universe
In the mirror universe, there are a number of species who have developed exactly or at least similarly to their counterparts in the "regular" universe.
