Zalkonian

Sunad, a Zalkonian male

The Zalkonians were an advanced humanoid race native to Zalkon.

By 2366 many Zalkonians began to undergo the process of evolving in to non-corporeal life-forms. They began experiencing isoelectric bursts as part of this process. The Zalkonian people were frightened by those undergoing the change and their government began exterminating anyone showing symptoms. Some of those affected fled their homeworld but were ruthlessly pursued by the Zalkonian military, including Sunad.

In 2366 the Enterprise-D discovered a crashed Zalkonian ship, and rescued one survivor. This survivor exhibited almost complete memory loss and was named "John Doe" by Doctor Beverly Crusher. "John" began to undergo the symptoms of the change while on board. The Enterprise was intercepted by Sunad's ship. Sunad demanded John's return, but Captain Jean-Luc Picard refused to turn John over just so he could be killed. Sunad attacked the Enterprise but John completed his transformation. Now that Sunad posed no danger to him, John returned to his homeworld to help those undergoing the transformation do so in safety. (TNG: "Transfigurations")
