L'Dira

The L'Dira were a spacefaring race native to the Alpha Quadrant. They are distingued by their white fur, green eyes, and extended muzzles. They are also known as an impatient, tenacious, and aggressive race.

Circa 2063, a L'Dira ship entered orbit of Trill, intent on obtaining acelon, a precious mineral used in much of their technologies. However, due to translation problems and Trill's naturally isolationist tendencies, the L'Dira concluded the Trill were unwilling to negotiate, and fired on the planet, killing over fifty and stealing acelon from a processing plant in the capital city, Leran Manev.
