The Tarkans were an extremely hostile civilization in the Delta Quadrant. The USS Voyager was warned by the Travellers to avoid Tarkan space, a detour that added a month to Voyager's journey to the Alpha Quadrant. The Tarkans were said to take intruder's ships as trophies and then strand the crews on a moon. (VOY episode: "Darkling"; VOY - Strange New Worlds I short story: "Monthuglu")

Many refugees that fled from the Tarkan were taken in by the Vostigye Union. (ST - Myriad Universes novel: Places of Exile)

Alternate timelineEdit

In an alternate timeline, the Tarkan joined several other species in defending the Vostigye home system from an attack by the Voth. (ST - Myriad Universes novel: Places of Exile)
