Vultran

The Vultrans are a humanoid species native to the planet Vultra. The populace was governed by a military dictatorship.

Background
By the 23rd century, Vultrans had built shuttlecraft as well as a fleet of interplanetary Vultran spaceships. However, their star had been cooling for some time, and Vultrans faced an extinction-level event as Vultra cooled towards a perpetual ice age.

History
In 2266, Captain James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy landed Space Bug 7 on Vultra to make repairs. Despot Zella and his chief scientist commandeered the space bug and fled the planet, marooning Kirk and McCoy on the surface.

Sympathetic to the plight of the Vultrans, Kirk helped them re-engineer their space fleet and propulsion systems into interplanetary arks so they could launch an exodus to a warmer star system. The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) shepherded the fleet for at least part of their journey.
