Ekosian
History:
Humanoid inhabitants of planet Ekos. The Ekosians were the victims of a terrible miscalculation by
Federation sociological observer John Gill, who tried to bring peace to the planet by introducing a government patterned after Earth's Nazi
Germany. The plan initially worked, but Gill was unable to avoid the brutal excesses of the ancient Nazis. Gill became the puppet of
ambitious Ekosians seeking to gain power for themselves by creating a repressive regime and seeking to exterminate the citizens of
neighboring planet Zeon. In 2268, the crew of the Enterprise, investigating the planet, allowed Gill to denounce the Nazi movement, paving
the way for the resumption of peaceful relations with the Zeons.
