NOTES
According to ancient Elorg texts, the Mersah Tolidas are an enigmatic--and hostile--race
that pass through the MIlky Way Galaxy once every thousand years.  Their vessels are
highly maneuverable and apparently utilize advanced organic technology, capable of
destroying almost any target with ease.  Perhaps more noteworthy, however, are the
incredible speeds achieved by these vessels.  While speeds in excess of warp 20 have been
directly observed, Starfleet believes the Mersah Tolidas may have the ability to exceed
warp 30, easily making the battlecrab the fastest vessel known to exist.

On stardate 73426.5, the USS Starlight encountered a small fleet of Mersah Tolidas passing
near the Sigma-Rho System.  The aliens were eventually defeated after a lengthy standoff
in orbit of the Sigma-Rho accretion disk, and have not since returned.
