Editing Excalbian

The [[Excalbian]]s are a shapeshifting silicon-based lifeform, native to the planet [[Excalbia]], described as being "almost mineral" and "like living rock with heavy fore-claws." 

In 2269, the Excalbians became intrigued by [[Human]] notions of good and evil. 

They staged a contest between the two ideas of thought, using Captain Kirk and Commander [[Spock]] of the USS Enterprise, and recreations of notable galactic historical figures. 

Representing "good", were Kirk, Spock, Abraham Lincoln of Earth and Surak of Vulcan; and representing "evil" were Kahless the Unforgettable of [[Qo'noS]], Genghis Khan and Colonel Green of [[Earth]] and Dr. Zora of [[Tiburon]]. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain") 

Information about Excalbians was displayed on a computer graphic in Keiko O'Brien's classroom on Deep Space 9 in 2269 as a part of her lesson on comparative xenobiology. (DS9: "A Man Alone", "The Nagus")
