History of the Metrons
The Metrons are a powerful, enigmatic race first encountered by the Federation in 2267.In that year, a Gorn vessel and the Enterprise were stopped, held in place by "an unidentifiable power". The Metrons, declaring both species savages, prepared a planet and removed the captain of each ship to fight to the death on it. Eventually, Kirk won the fight, but elected to spare his helpless opponent. The Metrons then returned Kirk and the Gorn captain to their ships and transported both vessels away from their space.
The Metrons posses the ability to manipulate forms of energy unknown to Federation science, to perform comprehensive scans at great range, to transport matter great distances instantly, and to rapidly terraform planets to specific requirements. All of these feats are well beyond what even 24th century Federation technology could accomplish. Their science and technology is most likely hundreds or thousands of years more advanced than that of the Federation.
