The yellow-orange skinned natives of Apergos, visited by the USS Cerritos for second contact in 2381, when Commander Ransom was turned into a god-like being in their capital.
The Apergosians are a humanoid species with yellow-orange skin and orange to brown hair. They take great pride in figures and statistics and hope to leave numbers their grandchildren can be proud of. Their capital is filled with buildings left by the Ancient Ones, though these are caked in soot.
They appear in the Lower Decks episode Strange Energies. During second contact Beckett Mariner sets herself a side task of power-washing the buildings, and in doing so she switches on an ancient machine.
The energy it releases strikes Jack Ransom and gives him divine powers, which he uses to reshape the city and a good part of the planet in his own image. Doctor T'Ana cannot stop him, and it falls to Mariner to end the crisis with a few well-aimed kicks.
