Ever since it's debut in 1966 with Star Trek: The Original Series, the franchise has propagated a utopian vision of the future. This Star Trek vision has come to include crew members from all walks of life on the USS Enterprise and the other vessels, along with the prominent use of alien races and species. A big cap in the feather of Star Trek has been the fact that it didn't necessarily demonize the alien species on purpose to get by in terms of the narrative, and frequently brought them out with their own character arcs.
While several of these aliens were first introduced on the TV show, there are quite a few others who were presented for the first time in the movies belonging to the franchise. It can be said in all fairness that the movies did a lot to popularize the franchise and thereafter their significance persists to this day. Here we take a look at five such aliens who were introduced in the Star Trek movies.

5) The Efrosians
Introduced on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, a member of this alien species went on to become the President of the Federation just two movies down the timeline. They are instantly recognizable by their long white hair and flowing mustaches on the male members.
