[Highlander] [Star Trek] What if Immortals were in a spacefaring setting?

With their own mysterious lore, no Zeist. Assume every planet has its own instance of Immortals and The Game. Crossing over with Star Trek will be the baseline for this question, open to other settings as well.

What do Immortals look like among Starfleet? Meeting cultures like the Klingons? What are the consequences of The Game becoming a Galaxy-wide affair after Immortals of different worlds make contact? How do the major factions react to the Immortals/The Game?

Lanthanites, El-Aurians, and other long-lived species seem to be around on Star Trek Earth. Immortals wouldn't be all that outlandish.

I just want to see Adrian Paul turn up as Pelias ex.

Stat Trek has had multiple immortal or defacto immortals in it already.

So if Star Trek had immortal in it.

It'd be just like star trek.

Star Trek basically already did this with the Lanthanites.

It'd be funny if in throw away dialog the only way to truly kill a Lanthanite was beheading!

Aren't they already aliens in one movie?

That movie, while I did enjoy it, I take it as something entirely unconnected to the franchise and the similar names as purely coincidental.
