The Ocampa are a species of humanoid sapients native to the Delta Quadrent. They are notable for having the abnormally short lifespan, telepathic abilities, and -- despite reproducing sexually -- giving birth only once in their lifetime. There are two populations of this species, the largest of which is in all likelihood extinct by now.
Evolutionary Stupidity
The Ocampa are perhaps the most unfit species to live ever devised in Star Trek.
- They have a life expectancy of less than 20 years (at best, most live less than 10 years).
- They only mate to produce children once in their lives.
- A typical mating only produces one child.
By this idiotic math, each Ocampa generation is half the size of the previous one, which means they're headed toward extinction at ludicrous speed. In reality, nature would never produce a species with such absurd reproductive characteristics.
