Tessma

The Tessma are a humanoid race native to the planet Tessmata IV in the Alpha Quadrant. They are notable for their red eyes, bronze-colored skin, and ridged brows.

In the mid 2230s, a Tessma diplomatic delegation to Trill accidentally discovered a new opening into the Caves of Mak'ala. The Trill's intense reaction and protective attitude toward the symbionts living in the caves lead to a diplomatic rift between the two races. (see: wikhov'na pan'tisha) (DS9 short story: "Old Souls")
