M-113 Creature
Planet: M-113. The last of a vaguely humanoid species sometimes referred to as the "salt vampire" because of its need for salt and its willingness to kill to satiate it's own hunger. The creature is now extinct. TOS "The Man Trap" 1-1

Malcorians
Planet: Malcor III. Humanoid race, physically distinguished by mitten-like hands and feet -- suction cups at the palm and "fingertips" replacing digits -- and a cranial lobe with an upper set of olfactory nasal openings. Internal distinguishing features include a higher digestive tract, placed where a human heart would be and the Malcorians have more ribs -- three on the right and four on the left. Like humans they come in a variety of skin tones, from dark to fair, and perhaps a little like humans of the late 20th Century, the Malcorians immediately assume both a curious stance and an aggressive stance upon discovering that outsiders have infiltrated their world. Their technology approximates that of late 20th Century Earth, while their ideology is based on an almost medieval ethnocentrism. They assume their own superiority and believe in their aloneness in the center of their universe. Despite encouragement from an enlightened scientist, the Malcorian chancellor in 2367 decided to wait for more education before further contact with the Federation, asking not to be visited again.

Malon
Relatively little is known about the Malon; there has been no formal contact with the Malon government as such, merely a series of accidental encounters with their ships. Since these encounters have occurred over thirty thousand light years apart, it is possible that Malon territory extends across these kinds of distances - making their space far larger than the Federation. However, the Malon are known to have access to at least one stable "spatial vortex" - apparently a form of wormhole. It is possible that they have access to others which allow them to cross large distances, or even that are able to build such phenomena themselves. At this point in time we simply do not know.
At least some aspects of Malon technology produce large amounts
of Theta radiation, and the Malon dispose of this by dumping it
in unpopulated areas of space. The amounts involved are such that
this has caused significant levels of pollution, endangering several
species. It is the freighters involved in this operation that the
U.S.S. Voyager has encountered. On their first meeting in early
2375, Voyager offered the Malon technology which would eliminate
their Theta radiation problems. Unfortunately the Malon still appear
to operate a profit based economy; since the waste dumping business
would be totally destroyed by such technology, the Malon crews have
been less than receptive to this idea. Several weeks later a Malon
freighter attempted to steal an advanced probe belonging to Voyager,
prompting the Starfleet crew to build the Delta Flyer to retrieve
the probe first.
Later in the same year, Voyager encountered an abandoned freighter
and recovered two crew members from nearby escape pods. This encounter
allowed the crew to learn much more about the Malon. The freighters
can carry enormous amounts of the toxins, over twelve trillion isotons
on a single vessel. Should such a ship be destroyed it would devastate
everything within three light years of the explosion. Their freighter
crews generally suffer serious cell damage from their exposure to
the Theta radiation, which they call 'freighter blight'. The Malon
use analeptic compound injections to counter the freighter blight,
but while the treatment keeps them alive it does not prevent skin
scarring.
A crew member will typically work six months of the year on a Malon freighter; the exposure so received is expected to cut his life in half. The core laborers who work closest to the waste receive the greatest dosage; less than one third are expected to survive any given trip, but they make more money in two months of working than most Malon earn in a lifetime. Occasionally the radiation causes core laborers to experience mutations, and the Malon have many stories of 'monsters' which attack crew members or damage ships. Voyagers crew encountered one such individual on board the abandoned freighter and were forced to kill him in order to prevent the ship from being sabotaged. VOY "Night" 5-95

Mari
A race of telepathic beings, who have forbidden violent thoughts as well as actions. VOY "Random Thoughts" 4-78

Origin: in low orbit around Marijne VII. A sentient species, indigenous to subspace, yet in appearance, only like tiny chemical flames floating through space. Due to an accident in 2370, several of these beings became trapped in a ship and needed to communicate with humans. The Marijne beings communicate by directly accessing thoughts which proved deadly to humans, so in order to communicate, the beings instead assumed the image of a familiar humanoid in an effort to find their way back to the safety of their home in low orbit around the planet. Telepathic subspace creatures who appear to humans as fire and live in lower depths of gas giant Marijne VII. A group, accidentally trapped aboard the Raman, tried to communicate with its crew of seven when it ascended from their eco-level and they died from the contact. One took the form of Geordi's late mother to talk to him when interfaced with a remote probe, with the contact not fatal due to his remoteness. TNG "Interface" 7-155
