*This non-humanoid civilization was contacted on stardate 4385.3 by the Constitution-class U.S.S. ENTERPRISE. The Melkotians first employed a space warning buoy to deter communications. When this failed, the Melkotians used their telepathic abilities to create an Historic Old West scenario involving members of the ENTERPRISE bridge crew. After surviving the encounter, Captain Kirk and his party were able to open diplomatic relations with the Melkotians. *Source: Back of card
