Melkot
The Melkot (or Melkotians) are a telepathic and xenophobic civilization from the Alpha Quadrant. The Melkot used their telepathic powers to punish aliens who encroached upon their space without permission (which, prior to 2268, they never extended).
The Federation made first contact with the Melkot in 2268, when the USS Enterprise encountered an orbiting warning buoy. When Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk ignored the Melkot's warning to leave their territory, they subjected Kirk and his landing party to an elaborate charade in which images from Kirk's memory were intended to be the devices of their deaths. This illusion took the form of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, on October 26, 1881, between the Earps and the Clantons, a fight that the Clantons lost. Kirk and the members of the Enterprise crew were to fill the part of the Clantons, but managed to avoid death in the legendary gun battle. Kirk was later successful in opening diplomatic relations with the reclusive Melkot. (TOS: "Spectre of the Gun")
