Of course, We have to settle on a definition for "intelligent." They may, for instance, not have the ability to communicate in a very complex manner (just very simple chemical signals, or something) and be able to build a spacecraft that can make it here from the Trelotan home world of Trelos IV. Or, they might be extremely good at complex communication and be very good in major areas of science, like comsology, astronomy, astro-physics, math, logic, etc... , but have no desire to advance technologically.

Or they may be as dumb as a rock, just strong enough and numerous enough to overthrow a dominent, smarter species which created warp technology, and just smart enough to operate it, somewhat.

Or they may be a little smarter than us, but not smart enough to be considered intelligent. #-o :wink:
