He Who Lurks Beyond The Veil
It’s not like they’ve been ”encountered” by the federation still. There’s one surviving civilian account, but that isn’t an official contact with the federation.I just remembered one bit of Star Trek lore that they played fast & loose with; The Gorn. La'an Noonien-Singh said that she was captured by The Gorn and was the only survivor. Unless this was another "classified" incident The Gorn weren't encountered until the Enterprise's Cestus 3 incident.
