Also known as the Melkots, Melkotians appear as large brains covered by vital organs with two eyes in the front and short tentacles hanging from the bottom. They move and communicate with Psi abilities. A powerful non-humanoid race, they prefer to remain secluded and their homeworld is surrounded by a series of warning buoys. Intruders are subjected to an elaborate telepathic execution involving illusion and the victims' own memory. Diplomatic relations were opened in 2268 and have since become full members of the Federation, but generally prefer seclusion.
