A humanoid species with a hooded head, four eyes and a mouth set low on the chest, who were full members of the Federation by 3190 and served in Starfleet.
The Schlerm have a wide, hooded head with four eyes and several ear-like appendages, and their mouth sits below the head near the breastbone. Their skin varies from brown and green to pink. The design was first used for background aliens on Starbase Yorktown in the film Star Trek Beyond.
Star Trek: Discovery gave the species its name and a place in the 32nd century. Schlerm officers serve in Starfleet in Kobayashi Maru and The Examples, and a Schlerm delegate takes part in the assembly of worlds that debates how to respond to the Dark Matter Anomaly in ...But to Connect, where the name is shown on the voting display.
No individual Schlerm has been named on screen. Production staff have referred to the homeworld as Schlerm IV.
