Merla

The Merla are a humanoid species from the world of Merl.

Their civilization had one planet with a population of 392,000 individuals and a fleet of cruisers and attack fighters. In 2366, their species was decimated when the Hikari Hikari attacked their world and destroyed it. Fortunately, 60,000 individuals escaped the planet before it was completely destroyed. Many settled on the Terran Federation colony on Selene.
