Since the Original Series’ debuted in 1966, Star Trek has had several iconic alien antagonists such as the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Borg. These aliens have featured in multiple television episodes, movies, comics, novels, and games.
However, one iconic alien species has had only a handful of TV appearances and a few appearances in Star Trek books and games. The Kzinti made their first and most substantial appearance in The Star Trek: The Animated Series episode The Slaver Weapon way back in 1973. That episode depicted the cat-like aliens as violent schemers plotting to steal the contents of a stasis box, an ancient storage device created by the slavers, a race that had ruled the galaxy a billion years ago.
Later plans to bring the Kzinti back into Star Trek in a major way have failed, robbing the audience of any chance to learn more about this fascinating race of killer cats. With that in mind here are 11 things you didn’t know about the Kzinti.
