Wraiths

The Eskans referred to this race of indigenous shapeshifters, which they hunted on a rogue planet that they called Dakala, as “wraiths.” They possessed telepathic abilities and could assume various forms. In 2152, one appeared to Captain Archer as a woman from a Yeats poem, in order to ask for his assistance.^[1]

Novans

The descendants of the original Human Terra Nova colonists, the Novans lived underground. The Novans did not believe they were descended from Humans when contact was reestablished in 2151, thinking instead that Humans were responsible for the “poison rain” that contaminated their planet and sent them underground. Captain Archer of the Enterprise NX-01 eventually convinced them that their “go-befores” were, in fact, Human, and relocated them to a safer side of the planet.^[1]

Notable Novans:

• Jamin^[1]
• Nadet^[1]

Neethian Cradlefish

Invertebrate creature. Some of its appendages could survive independently after being severed from the main body. Similar creatures included the earthworm and the symbiotic organism that took over the Enterprise NX-01‘s Cargo Bay Two in 2152.^[1]

M’klexa

The M’klexa were one of several warp-capable species that visited the Valakians prior to 2151, but did not offer the Valakians warp drive.^[1]

Menk

Humanoid species indigenous to the planet Valakis. The seemingly primitive Menk were one of two species on the planet when Valakis was visited by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151; the other was the technologically-advanced Valakians. The Menk were subservient to the Valakians, but were immune to a disease that was ravaging the latter species. Dr. Phlox observed that, while the Valakians were being picked off by the disease, the Menk were in the process of an evolutionary awakening, and would in all likelihood eventually become the dominant species on Valakis.^[1]

Lorillians

Alpha Quadrant species. Lorillian children were born with the ability to breathe only methyl oxide (provided via an inhalation apparatus when off-world). This meant that mother and child would deal with a difficult weaning process when the child reached 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.^[1]

Loque’eque

Species that lost the ability to reproduce several centuries before 2153. In an effort to preserve their once-flourishing society, the Loque’eque created a mutagenic virus that transformed other species into their own in order to prevent extinction. When infected, individuals experienced an overwhelming urge to travel to the Loque’eque’s home city, Urquat. Captain Archer, Lieutenant Reed and Ensign Sato were all infected with the virus when they visited the Loque’eque homeworld. Luckily for them, Dr. Phlox managed to synthesize an antivirus that reversed the changes.^[1]

Kreetassans

This Alpha Quadrant species had a very complex language—which made for a problematic first contact with the Enterprise NX-01. In the Kreetassan culture, eating and mating were considered to be similar activities, and the Kreetassans were therefore deeply offended when they observed the Enterprise crew eating in public. The crew tracked them down again when a strange, symbiotic organism transferred itself from the Kreetassans’ ship to the Enterprise, taking some crewmembers captive. Luckily, the Kreetassans had learned English at this point, and were able to communicate effectively with Ensign Travis Mayweather. After Mayweather delivered a proper apology for the crew’s faux pas, the Kreetassans provided him with the coordinates for the mysterious organism’s homeworld.^[1] Captain Archer managed to inadvertently offend the Kreetassans yet again when he and his crew visited the Kreetassan homeworld to obtain a plasma injector. Apparently, Archer’s pet dog, Porthos, urinated on one of the Alvera trees outside the Hall of Diplomacy—the Kreetassans considered these trees to be cultural treasures. Captain Archer later performed an elaborate ritual of apology, which involved using a chain saw to cut pieces from a recently-felled tree and arrange them in a certain pattern.^[2]
