A species whose delegation was received aboard the USS Enterprise for peace negotiations in the Strange New Worlds episode Human Best Friend, moments after the crew had foiled a bomb plot.
The Rodaxians appear in Human Best Friend, the third episode of the fourth season of Strange New Worlds. The USS Enterprise is to host their delegation for tense peace talks, and Pike first sends his overworked officers on shore leave to Cesnar Grand, a resort on the planet Cesnar whose atmosphere loosens inhibitions.
The visit goes wrong. Much of the crew ends up intoxicated, the talks are suddenly brought forward, and a Rodaxian militant plants a bomb aboard a shuttle to wreck them. The officers get back to the ship only just in time to meet their guests, and Captain Pike and Number One deliver the welcome while still plainly the worse for wear.
The bomb is got clear of the ship and explodes harmlessly in view of the delegates. The Rodaxians take it for their rare Formal Rite of Peace staged in their honour, the saboteur is caught and the negotiations go ahead.
