Early Voyages
Talosian Specimens
The Talosians kept a zoo full of “descendants of life brought back long ago from all over [their] part of the galaxy.” These specimens included a primate-like creature and an avian-humanoid creature. It is unclear if they were sentient. The Talosians attempted to add Humans to their menagerie when the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 visited Talos IV.[1]

Talosians (TOS-00)
The Talosians were a humanoid species native to Talos IV and possessed enormous brains “three times the size” of average humanoids, according to U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Science Officer Spock. Veins in their heads would throb when using their telepathic abilities. According to Dr. Philip Boyce, “Their power of illusion is so great, we can’t be sure of anything we do, or anything we see.” The Talosians lived underground, and according to Vina, over the centuries following the near-destruction of their world in a nuclear war, the Talosians forgot how to repair the machines left behind by their ancestors, while concentrating on developing their mental abilities. They couldn’t read through “primitive” emotional states, such as anger. The Talosians also kept a zoo full of “descendants of life brought back long ago from all over [their] part of the galaxy.” These specimens included a primate-like creature and a avian-humanoid creature when Captain Christopher Pike was held by the Talosians in the 2250s. It was unclear if these creatures were sentient.[1]

Ngultor
The Ngultor originated from a distant part of space. They believed that “the blending of the flesh—the cohesion of species into species—life into life—achieving a single union of wholeness, [was] a blessed state to be striven for.” The Ngultor vessels encountered by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 were stranded in Federation space by a warp drive malfunction. They captured several ships for spare parts from the crews before attempting to do the same with the Enterprise. They also planned to send harvester vessels to Federation worlds, following their return to their home territory, forcing Captain Pike to destroy them.[1]

Kaylar
The Rigellian warrior caste,[1] the Kaylar wore furs, armor, and leather clothing when they were encountered by Captain Pike and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in the 2250s. Their weapons included swords, morning stars, axes, spears, and shields.[1]

Species originating on Earth. According to the Talosians in the 2250s, “The customs and history of [Humans] show[s] a unique hatred of captivity. Even when it’s pleasant and benevolent, [they] prefer death. This makes [them] too violent and dangerous a species for [the Talosians’] needs.” The Talosians had scanned the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s databanks, and had gleaned quite a bit of information about Human history.[1]

Transporter
Matter teleportation device. The cycle of the transporter aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 under Captain Pike took approximately 30 seconds from the beginning of the dematerialization process to the end of the rematerialization process at the destination,[1] a dramatic improvement over the original transporter created by Emory Erickson in the 22nd century. According to Erickson, the transporter took 90 seconds, during which time he claimed he could feel himself being dematerialized.[2]
