Ngultor

The Ngultor are an insectoid species from distant sector of space. All Ngultor technology is entirely organic and the species has an almost religious devotion to the flesh being entirely dismissive of artificial technologies.

The Ngultor actively seek nest worlds of other species to harvest their flesh and integrate it into themselves and their ships. When attacking another ship the Ngultor typically use a virus which saps the targets energy systems preventing the crew resisting or escaping.

In 2254, in a freak warp accident, a Ngultor mothership found it's way into a region in or near Federation space. Lost far from home the Ngultor sent out their smaller ships to harvest flesh to repair their ship and journey home. However they found a region rich in life and whilst collecting flesh began to research the locations of the nest-worlds of the many species they encountered.

The Ngultor left behind numerous ships, devoid of crew. With no clues as to what happened Starfleet sent the USS Enterprise into the affected region to act as bait. The plan was a success and one of the scavenging ships quickly attacked the Enterprise. With such a large ship and so many lifeforms to harvest the Ngultor opted to tow the Enterprise back to the mothership to harvest rather than do it themselves but they did abduct the starships "Master Program"; Captain Christopher Pike, to probe his mind and find out more about potential harvest in the region.

Unfortunately for the Ngultor there plan backfired. Pike used the Ngultor’s mind link to discover their plans and upon being rescued by a landing party from the Enterprise promptly destroyed the Ngultor mothership rather than let it escape back to Ngultor space and report on it's findings.
