Summary:

First encountered by the USS Shogun while lost in the past, the exact chronological date of contact isn’t known, but ship’s chronometers indicate an approximate Stardate of 100529, Pinastri real time, when the USS Shogun investigated a unique signal and encountered a vessel of unknown design, crewed by a sluglike race obsessed with DNA extraction, sampling and manipulation.

Few facts were gained by Shogun away teams, although the species is able to stay 'aloft' making it likely that they have telekinetic powers. They also showed strong evidence of telepathy, organization and intelligence.
