Scalosians were the inhabitants of the planet Scalos. Prior to the 2260s, most of the inhabitants were made infertile due to a radiation sickness. Their biochemistry had accelerated to a point that they experienced hours as other lifeforms experienced minutes. Once a nation of 900,000, their numbers rapidly declined until there were only five of them left by 2268. Deela was their queen. In 2268, they hijacked the USS Enterprise in an effort to repopulate their race with the male crew. Captain Kirk was able to stop them and return them to their native Scalos.

  • The Scalosians were a humanoid civilization native to the planet Scalos. Prior to the 2260s decade, the Scalosians became infertile after suffering radiation sickness. As a result of this, Scalosian bio-chemistry was accelerated to the point where they experienced hours as other lifeforms experienced minutes. In the 2290s, the Federation was working with the Scalosians on relocating their entire civilization to another planet. (TOS novel: Crucible: The Fire and the Rose)
  • From a Scalosian's point of view other species appear like statues, and even phaser shots move in slow motion. Their accelerated biochemistry which causes them to experience days in minutes was caused by some sort of industrial disaster involving radiation which modified their biology and also rendered the vast majority of them infertile.

  • The Scalosians were a humanoid civilization native to the planet Scalos. Prior to the 2260s decade, the Scalosians became infertile after suffering radiation sickness. As a result of this, Scalosian bio-chemistry was accelerated to the point where they experienced hours as other lifeforms experienced minutes. In the year 2268, the Scalosians hijacked the Federation starship USS Enterprise in an attempt to use the male crewmembers to repopulate their species. Fortunately, Captain James T. Kirk was able to stop the Scalosians from succeeding, and returned them to Scalos. (TOS episode: "Wink of an Eye") In the 2290s, the Federation was working with the Scalosians on relocating their entire civilization to another planet. (TOS novel: Crucible: The Fire and the Rose)
  • From a Scalosian's point of view other species appear like statues, and even phaser shots move in slow motion. Their accelerated biochemistry which causes them to experience days in minutes was caused by some sort of industrial disaster involving radiation which modified their biology and also rendered the vast majority of them infertile. As their population decreased, they were forced to lure passing starships with fake distress signals and kidnap some of the crew (the abductee's metabolism being likewise modified by chemical means to match the Scalosians', causing the impression that they simply vanished) in order to procreate with them. As of 2268, their population had declined to a mere five individuals. In that year, after a failed attempt to abduct James T. Kirk and Compton in such fashion (and which resulted in Compton's death), the Federation placed Scalos in quarantine to prevent other starships to fall victim to them, and the Scalosians presumably went extinct at some point due to sterility.
