History
During the 13th century, the Megans traveled to Earth where they assisted Humans with the art of magic, and were eventually responsible for the ancient legends of witches and warlocks.
By the 17th century, the Megans settled in Salem, Massachusetts, after realizing that Humans only wished to use them to serve greed and lust. They chose to live their lives there as "normal men" to avoid the accusations of being "devils, warlocks and evil sorcerers." Unfortunately, while living in Salem, several of the Megans made mistakes and used their powers, and were burned for doing so, as witches during the Salem witch trials.
Those Megans who escaped the witch trials were forced to leave Earth and return to their homeworld, where they remained bitter and fearful of Humans.
In 2269, the USS Enterprise made contact with the Megans, but due to their distrust of Humans, they put the Enterprise crew in a recreation of a Salem witch trial. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-Tu")
Government
Lucien explained that Megas-Tu was not governed by the same laws as their own universe and that magic thrived among Megans. By holding trials simular to those in Salem, Earth, would seem they have a Judicial form of government in place.

Mythology
For years scientists have theorised that if our galaxy was created from a great explosion, then the centre of the galaxy might still be creating new matter. The Enterprise was sent on a scientific mission to find the creation point, an area in the galactic core where matter was being created. Upon arrival at the juncture were the four quadrates meet, the starship is caught in what Spock described as a matter-energy whirlwind and thrown into an alternate universe.
