Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki

Malcorians were a humanoid civilization that originated from their homeworld on planet Malcor III. They did not have individual digits on their hands and feet, like other humanoids. Instead their digits were webbed together, something akin to a mitten. (TNG episode: "First Contact"; ST video game: Infinite)

History and specifics[]

During the mid-24th century, they were a pre-warp civilization and believed that they are the highest form of life and that their planet was at the center of the universe. (TNG episode: "First Contact")

Their planet had a unified government known as the Malcorian Republic, led by a chancellor. In 2346 the chancellor was a woman named Serel. (ST video game: Infinite)

In the 2360s, the Malcorians were in the process of developing warp drive and the United Federation of Planets was secretly monitoring their progress. In 2367, William Riker was surgically altered to appear as a Malcorian for such a mission, but was injured and his true species was revealed. After Riker was tortured by a Malcorian opposed to first contact, the Malcorian leader decided that his people were not yet ready to learn of the existence of other species. (TNG episode: "First Contact")

The ST video game: Infinite shows Malcorians as a warp-capable species already by 2346, but it is likely a simplification for gameplay reasons.

In Q's anti-time future timeline that Jean-Luc Picard experienced, a Malcorian female was serving in Starfleet in the 2390s and was a transporter operator aboard the USS Pasteur. (TNG novelization: All Good Things)

By the 32nd century, they had become a spacefaring species, as Malcorian language writing could be seen on the planet Hima. (DSC episode: "That Hope Is You, Part 1")
