The Star Trek universe is set inside our own Milky Way, however has there been any instances of contact with life outside our own Milky Way? I understand the distance between our galaxy and the next is much bigger than distances typically traveled by warp capable ships but there could have been other means of communication or travel.
Edit: Bonus question, how was such a vast distance traveled?
Answer
In the classic series, the episode "By Any Other Name" features aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy. In Next Gen, they end up in galaxy M33 in "Where No One Has Gone Before".
Bonus answers:
By Any Other Name: It was a 300-year journey, so one presumes "the hard way", at a high warp speed.
Where No Has Gone Before - enabled by the Traveler (and Wesley, I guess?), and his "magic" powers.
UPDATE: The androids from I, Mudd were created by beings from the Andromeda galaxy.
