Terratin

The Terratins were the Human descendants of the late 21st century Earth colony established on the planet Terra 10, led by the Mendant during the 2260s.

Unbeknownst to the colonists, Terra 10 was bombarded with spiroid epsilon waves that shrank them to the size of 1/16th of an inch, due to the compacting of their DNA. This change became an irreversible genetic characteristic, causing all of their subsequent descendants to be the same size. According to the Mendant, encountered by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), the Terratins "are people of pride," who "neither suffer insult, nor give apology for actions."

In 2269, the Terratins were transplanted from their home on the dying planet Terra 10 to a new home on Verdanis by the crew of the USS Enterprise.
