Alphan (Onyius II)

A species of single-celled organisms. The Alpha are native to Onyius II. Their reproduction rate is high. However, their metabolism is considered poor and their life-span is short. They were enemies of the Omegans, who were another species of single-celled organisms. First contact was made in 2269, by the crew of USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). Captain Kirk succeeded in making the two species overcome their differences. The two species then joined to become the Gammans. (Game: Star Trek: Judgment Rites)
