The following is a list of unnamed Tarkaleans.

Crew []

According to Captain Jonathan Archer, more Tarkaleans served aboard the Tarkalean freighter in 2153 when it was assimilated by the Borg.

T'Pol contacted their homeworld Tarkalea and assured them that Enterprise would do everything possible to care for the Tarkaleans.

But following a confrontation with the Borg and the modified transport Arctic One, Archer had to destroy the ship will all assimilated lifeforms aboard. (ENT: "Regeneration")

As Captain Archer was speaking twice of more Tarkalean crewmembers it is an implication there were more crewmembers than the two who were aboard Enterprise.

Female []

This Tarkalean was working on a freighter in 2153 when the ship was attacked by the borgified Arctic One transport. Like the male crewmember, she was assimilated with nanoprobes.

When Enterprise NX-01 beamed her aboard she was unconscious. She was brought to sickbay where Doctor Phlox cared for her. When she woke up, she attacked Crewman Foster who guarded sickbay and threw him across the room. Then she left together with the male by using a ladder into a maintenance shaft.

She stopped in maintenance shaft C junction twelve where she started to modify the ship's systems by using her assimilation tubules. When a security team led by Lieutenant Malcolm Reed engaged her and requested her to stop she ignored them. When the team fired their phase-pistols and phase rifles at her and again after they increased the setting, her personal shielding was activated and she walked towards the group which withdraw.

She was blown into space through an outer hatch by Captain Jonathan Archer as the only way to stop them. (ENT: "Regeneration")

This Tarkalean was played by stunt actress Nicole Randall who received no credit for this appearance.

Her costume was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1](X)

Male []

This Tarkalean was also working aboard the Tarkalean freighter in 2153 when the Borg assimilated him. Assimilated by the Borg nanoprobes and unconscious he was examined by Dr. Phlox in the sickbay aboard Enterprise. When he woke up he asked where he was and who Phlox is and became furious. Phlox was up to inject him a sedative with a hypospray but he grabbed the Denobulan, injected him the assimilation tubules into the neck and threw him over the biobed. Together with his female companion he left sickbay using a ladder to the maintenance shaft.

Later, he attacked a security team led by Lieutenant Reed and disarmed two security officers before Reed knocked him down with the shaft of a phase rifle.

He was blown into space through an outer hatch by Captain Archer. (ENT: "Regeneration")

This Tarkalean was played by stunt actor Mark Chadwick who received credit as "Male Tarkalean" in the end credits of the episode.

His costumes were later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [2](X) [3](X) [4](X)

Sheep herders []

Around 2372 the Federation started trading with the Karemma using the Ferengi as intermediaries. However, the Karemma complained about an abundance of taxes and fees. Among these fees, of which Starfleet was unaware, was a six percent tariff on Karemman fleece, to help offset the lost income of Tarkalean sheep herders. Quark described them as a "hardworking people". (DS9: "Starship Down")

While this was not outright stated, the implication of the scene was that the Ferengi had made up these fees. Because of this, it is unclear if there really were Tarkalean sheep herders.
