Background information[]
In an internal reference document, listing all the aliens seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was circulated around the time of the production of TNG Season 5, the Algolians were given the description of "a humanoid race, distinguished physically by golden leathery skin, with a forehead close to Klingons." In the call sheet from "Qpid", this species was identified as a "Red Alien".
The Algolians' head prosthetic appears to be inspired by the Promellians, only later to be modified to create the head pieces for the Rotciv and Yint's species.
At StarTrek.com, the Algolian homeworld orbited the star Algol (Beta Persei), a B-type star [1](X) [2](X)
