==History== | |||
The Cardassians first came across an early Myr Luukian warp ships venturing just outside their home system in 2364--and promptly destroyed it. Since then, the Myr Luukians have stayed confined to their system. Starfleet made first contact with them in 2376. | |||
Starfleet has never been able to decipher exactly how Myr Luukians communicate – though the crew that first encountered them speculated it was a new form of telepathy they had never encountered before. Regardless, because other species they’ve encountered have had the same difficulty, Myr Luukians rely on simplistic holograms to serve as their equivalent of a universal translator. No one from Starfleet had ever actually seen a Myr Luukian in person prior to the arrival of the {{USS|Garuda}} in 2391. | |||
