Nyazen

The Nyazen are a race from the Gamma Quadrant who have often been in conflict with the D'Naali.

In 2376, the crew of the USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II) encountered the Nyazen when the Defiant discovered a unusual structure that the Nyazen deemed a holy place. The Nyazen blockaded the object and D'Naali starships later arrived, provoking a tense standoff with the crew of the Defiant caught between the two enemies. After the situation was resolved, Elias Vaughn noted in his log that he hoped that one day the Nyazen and the D'Naali might make peace and invite the Federation to study the structure.
