Lorillians
Episode: Broken Bow
Alpha Quadrant species.
Lorillian children
are born with the ability to breathe only methyloxide via an
inhalation apparatus. This means that mother and child must
deal with a difficult weaning process when the child reaches
age four. Commander Trip Tucker observed a mother and child
engaging in this process, and assumed the child was being
suffocated. T'Pol corrected him. |

Malcorians
Episode: First Contact
Planet: Malcor III
Humanoid race, physically distinguished by mitten-like hands
and feet — suction cups at the palm and "fingertips"
replacing digits and a cranial lobe with an upper set of
olfactory nasal openings. Internal distinguishing features
include a higher digestive tract, placed where a human heart
would be and the Malcorians have more ribs — three on the
right and four on the left.
Like humans they come in a variety of skin tones, from dark
to fair, and perhaps a little like humans of the late 20th
Century, the Malcorians immediately assume both a curious
stance and an aggressive stance upon discovering that
outsiders have infiltrated their world.
Their technology approximates that of late 20th Century
Earth, while their ideology is based on an almost medieval
ethnocentrism. They assume their own superiority and believe
in their aloneness in the centre of their universe. Despite
encouragement from an enlightened scientist, the Malcorian
chancellor in 2367 decided to wait for more education before
further contact with the Federation, asking not to be
visited again.

Malon
Episode: Night, Extreme Risk, Juggernaut
Origin:
Unspecified
The Malon was first
encountered in 2375 when a Malon freighter had contaminated
a vast region of space with Theta radiation. They don't have
the technology to recycle their anti-matter waste and have
resorted to transport it out of Malon space and dump it at
remote parts of the quadrant. They use highly paid
anti-matter core workers and labourers to transport their
lethal theta-radioactive cargo. Voyager has encountered the
Malon at several occasions and they have proven to be quite
ruthless. |

Maquis
Episode: Caretaker, Part II
Origin: Alpha
Quadrant
The colonists and disgruntled Starfleet officers who opposed
what amounted to an abandonment of some Federation colonies
when the United Federation of Planets-Cardassian border was
finally hammered out and "disarmed" are still fighting the "Cardies"
a week before stardate 48315, when Chakotay's ship is chased
by Gul Evek's Galor-class warship into the Badlands.

Medusans
Episode: Is There In Truth No Beauty?
Planet: Unspecified.
A species of highly intelligent noncorporeal beings whose
sensory systems differ radically from humanoid sensory
systems. This makes the Medusans particularly well suited
for space travel.
While noncorporeal, Medusans still have a physical form,
which when viewed by humanoids is said to be so ugly, that
it will cause madness in the viewer unless that humanoid has
the protection of a visor. In contrast, for those with
telepathic capabilities, the Medusan mind is said to be
remarkably beautiful.

Mintakans
Episode: Who Watches The Watchers?
Planet: Mintaka III.
Proto-Vulcan
humanoids at the Bronze Age level of development, quite
peaceful and highly rational, whose evolution closely
parallels that of Vulcan. Once cave-dwellers, they now build
two-story adobe-like huts, hunt with the bow, weave cloth,
use a sundial and have no immediate fear of strangers. A
millennia ago they gave up the belief in the supernatural --
including an "overseer" god, astrology and the occult -- but
considered it again when a Federation study team was
accidentally revealed to them in 2366; to counter the
damage, they were reassured of their rational ways and the
post was removed. At least some live in extended families;
another social custom is a woman's precession of her mate in
walking. In appearance they follow the Vulcanoid norm, but
their brain has a much lower lysosome level. |

Nausicaans
Episode: Heart of Stone
Planet: name unspecified.
An otherwise nondescript race, three of whom are provoked
into a fight by a young officer Picard in the roughhouse
Bonestell Recreation Facility at the Farspace Starbase
Earhart on the old pre-alliance Klingon frontier. Perhaps
representative of their cultural level at the time, one
stabbed Picard with a serrated-edge metal sword.
Raiders from this large humanoid race broke in to the
central museum on Remmil VI using a high-frequency
ultrasonic generator to break through the native
spun-crystalline webbing used in construction. One is a
customer of Garak's on Deep Space Nine, upset when the
tailor misplaced his wedding suit.
