Star Trek: 10 Alien Species You’ve Probably Forgotten About
1. The Satarrans
How do you solve a problem like the Satarrans? I dunno. Get it on with Commander Riker? From a relatively memorable episode with (another) memory wipe, it's likely you've forgotten about this particular alien species. "Let's begin this with a show of good faith". Famous last words, Picard, which you soon won't remember either.
Careful, it's the namesake of that guy from 'The Scottish Play,' or 'Suds' from The Simpsons, if you prefer. What's he doing there on the bridge, dripping with dramatic irony? Don't play dumb, MacDuff! We all know you're not a member of the crew. Now, let's get to solving this little Conundrum as there's a highly advanced android down in Ten Forward wasting an awful lot of processing power serving drinks.
When MacDuff's machinations are uncovered despite the general amnesia, his true Satarran form is briefly revealed thanks to a couple of rapid phaser volleys. Under the Starfleet garb, he'd probably be due a mention in the 'Gods and Devils' entry on this list. Demonic, almost mummified in appearance, with bulging eyes, mouth, and teeth exposed, and the thoracic region laid bare in grim, skeletal fashion, whatever counted as flesh for a Satarran was a nightmarish mottled grey. I doubt many are holidaying on the Satarran homeworld of Sothis III, put it that way!
