Tarkalean unconscious

A Tarkalean male (2153)

The Tarkaleans are a humanoid species native to the planet Tarkalea.

In 2153, a Tarkalean freighter was attacked and boarded by the Borg. The Starfleet vessel Enterprise responded to the distress call, discovering two Tarkaleans in the upper deck of the freighter. Dr. Phlox was able to initially assist the Tarkaleans, however discovered that the Borg nanoprobes had infiltrated their autonomic systems and that their renal glands were replaced with cybernetic devices. The Tarkaleans eventually succumbed the Borg and one of the Tarkaleans attacked and injected Phlox with nanoprobes. The Tarkaleans would later escape Sickbay and attempt to modify the systems of Enterprise, forcing Captain Archer to eject the two into space. (ENT: "Regeneration")

The Tarkaleans are well known for their special blend of Tarkalean tea. (DS9: "Past Prologue", et al.)

In 2372, the Ferengi imposed an unfair six percent tariff on woolen goods they traded with the Karemma, 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")

People

Background

The Tarkaleans made their second appearance in "Regeneration". They were played by Mark Chadwick and Nicole Randal. Their original appearance was as an extra stabbed by an 18-year-old Molly O'Brien in DS9: "Time's Orphan". In their initial appearance, the 24th Century Tarkaleans looked drastically different to those of the 22nd Century.

'Tarkalean' was incorrectly spelled in the script for "Starship Down" as 'Tarkalian', but it believed to be a simple typographical error. A similar error was made in the script for "Hippocratic Oath" where the spelling 'Tarkalian' appeared in the pronunciation guide, but the spelling was later corrected to 'Tarkalean' later on in the script.
