So "Alice" re-aired today, which introduced us to the game of Species, Starship, or Anomaly. It's been years since we've played a good game of SSA, so I figured I'd start one.
The rules are:
You have 20 yes-or-no questions to guess the species, starship, or anomaly.
You may not ask whether it is a species, starship, or anomaly.

Sentient humanoid member of the UFP that may or may not be male. Contacted by humans before the founding of said UFP. It's almost certainly a race.

Is it the Vulcans?
(Omega: Krenim answered that the group was a member of the Federation. That kinda nixes two of your three items... well, at least one, if Krenim is being really nitpicky.)
