  • In 2153, a Tarkalean freighter was attacked and boarded by the Borg. The Earth starship Enterprise responded to the distress call and discovered that the freighter's crew had been assimilated by the Borg. (ENT episode: "Regeneration") The Tarkaleans were well known for their special blend of Tarkalean tea. (DS9 episodes: "Past Prologue", "Trials and Tribble-ations") The Tarkalean unit of currency was known as the notch-rock. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One)
  • Tarkaleans are a warp-capable humanoid species native to planet Tarkalea. They have several bony ridges running on their heads, but appear fairly Human-like other than that. Tarkalean technology appears to be quite advanced, as they already possessed food replicators long before Vulcans. Appearances: Star Trek: Enterprise - "Regeneration"

Prior to her posting aboard Enterprise NX-01 in 2151, T'Pol had observed a demonstration of a device similar to a replicator on a Tarkalean vessel. She stated, "It was capable of replicating almost any inanimate object." (ENT: "Dead Stop") In 2153, a Tarkalean freighter was attacked and boarded by the Borg. Enterprise responded to the automated distress call, discovering two Tarkaleans in the upper deck of the freighter.

  • Tarkaleans are a warp-capable humanoid species native to planet Tarkalea. They have several bony ridges running on their heads, but appear fairly Human-like other than that. Tarkalean technology appears to be quite advanced, as they already possessed food replicators long before Vulcans. A Tarkalean freighter was attacked by time-traveling Borg drones in the mid 22nd century, resulting in at least two Tarkalean crewmembers being assimilated. Chronologically, this makes them the second Alpha Quadrant species known to have been assimilated into the Borg collective; the first having been Humans. The two Tarkalean Borgs were later ejected into deep space to prevent them assimilating the Enterprise crew. It is possible that they have survived, though, as Borg drones are known to be able to withstand space vacuum thanks to their tech implants. Tarkalean tea is a popular beverage among Humans in the 23rd and 24th centuries. Tarkalean flu is a mild viral disease to which Vulcans are vulnerable, perhaps indicating that they share some physiological similarities with the Tarkaleans. Planet Tarkalea is also the homeworld of at least two avian species: the Tarkalean Condor and the Tarkalean Hawk. Appearances: Star Trek: Enterprise - "Regeneration"

She stated, "It was capable of replicating almost any inanimate object." (ENT: "Dead Stop") In 2153, a Tarkalean freighter was attacked and boarded by the Borg. Enterprise responded to the automated distress call, discovering two Tarkaleans in the upper deck of the freighter. Doctor Phlox was able to initially assist the Tarkaleans; however, he discovered that the Borg nanoprobes had infiltrated their autonomic systems and that their renal glands were replaced with cybernetic devices. The Tarkaleans eventually succumbed to the Borg and one of the Tarkaleans attacked and injected Phlox with nanoprobes. The Tarkaleans later escaped sickbay and attempted to modify the systems of Enterprise, forcing Captain Archer to eject the two into space. (ENT: "Regeneration") The Tarkaleans were well known for their special blend of Tarkalean tea. (DS9: "Past Prologue", "Cardassians", "The Wire", "Distant Voices", "Hippocratic Oath", "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." , "Trials and Tribble-ations" , "What You Leave Behind" ) In 2372, for a shipment of Karemman fleece imported from the Karemma, the Ferengi imposed a six percent tariff, claiming that the tax was added to help offset the "lost income of Tarkalean sheep herders." (DS9: "Starship Down") In 2374, an adult Molly O'Brien attacked and injured a Tarkalean who was visiting Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Time's Orphan") The Tarkalean Molly attacked was actually a Markalian. It is possible Benjamin Sisko was mistaken when he referred to the alien as a "Tarkalean".
