| - During the 22nd century, the Valakians suffered from a plague that was killing off its entire population, causing twelve million deaths in 2149 alone. As of 2150, they had already made first contact as Valakis had been visited by two warp-capable species, the Ferengi and the M'klexa. In 2150, the Valakians dispatched four sub-warp spacecraft to seek help from other, more advanced, warp-capable species. The Enterprise encountered one of those ships in 2151 and rendered medical aid to the incapacitated crew. When the crew explained that their pre-warp race had nonetheless already made contact with ships from passing alien races, the Enterprise command crew decided that it was acceptable to openly visit Valakis (the danger of cultural contamination had already occurred, regardless of what Enterprise did). Enterprise offered to aid in search for a cure and while they were visiting the planet, the ship's doctor, Phlox, discovered that the epidemic wasn't being caused by a virus or bacteria. Instead, the illness was genetic: the proteins that bound to Valakian chromosomes were deteriorating. This had been going on for thousands of years, but the rate of mutation had accelerated over the past few generations. Based on his projections, Phlox predicted that the Valakians would be extinct by the 24th century. Furthermore, Phlox discovered that the Menk had the potential to become the dominant species on the planet. The Enterprise crew, believing survival of the genetically fittest was the noblest of ideals, refused to save any lives. Ruling that the Valakians could not deal with warp technology on their own yet, Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer further declined to give warp technology to the Valakians for the purpose of finding a cure. As a result, the entire species was sentenced to ultimately become extinct. (ENT: "Dear Doctor") In the script of "Dear Doctor", the only substantial physical description of the Valakians was that they had pale skin.
- Poté, co ve 22. století zabila neznámá nemoc 12 milionů Valakianů, vyslali několik vesmírných lodí, aby hledali pomoc mimo vlastní planetu. V roce 2151 se s jednou takovou lodí setkala Enterprise, a nabídla pomoc při hledání léku. Když ale doktor Phlox na Valakis začal zkoumat nemoc, zjistil, že nebyla způsobena ani virem ani bakterií.

Na základě svých výzkumů, Phlox odhadoval, že Valakiané vyhynou do 24. století. Mimoto, Phlox zjistil, že Menkové mají potenciál stát se dominantní rasou na této planetě. Posádka Enterprise se rozhodla nezasahovat do přirozeného vývoje těchto dvou druhů, ale nabídla Valakianům léky na zmírnění symptomů jejich nemoci. Protože Valakiané byli předwarpová civilizace, nemohl jim kapitán Archer dát technologii warpu, aby mohli najít lék ve vesmíru sami. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")

- In de 22e eeuw had de soort veel last van een ziekte die een groot deel van de bevolking doodde. Tegen 2149 had de ziekte al meer dan 12 miljoen doden geëist. Daarom stuurden de Valakians veel (bemande) ruimteschepen op zoek naar andere soorten om hulp te vragen. De bemanning van de Enterprise reageerde op een noodoproep van een Valakian ruimteschip. De Enterprise bracht de bemanning terug naar hun thuiswereld. Tijdens het bezoek aan de planeet werd aan de bemanning gevraagd om te helpen met de zoektocht naar een geneesmiddel. De dokter van de Enterprise, Phlox, kwam erachter dat de ziekte genetisch was, dus geen bacterie of virus; de ziekte zorgde ervoor dat de proteïnes die de chromosomen bij elkaar hielden afbraken. Volgens Phlox zouden de Valakians in dit tempo in de 24e eeuw uitgestorven zijn. Ook ontdekte Phlox dat de Menk de potentie hadden om de planeet te gaan domineren. De bemanning besefte dat ze de evolutie van de 2 soorten op de planeet niet konden veranderen. Wel stuurde de Enterprise een ziekteremmer naar de bevolking waardoor de symptomen minder heftig werden.
