Templates based on watching relevant ST episodes, checking transcripts, and double-checking against Memory Alpha. They should be "mostly accurate" up to SNW Season 1.
If these templates are overpowered, it's because I've tried to model exactly what characters of a given species are shown doing in the shows. For example, Denobulans have full-fledged Clinging ability, but Dr. Phlox uses the power exactly once in the entire run of Enterprise.
