Pakled

Pakleds were a humanoid spacegoing race native to the Alpha Quadrant, noted for their apparently underdeveloped verbal communication skills. They controlled an area of space that included the Kalla system ; however, they appeared to be a largely nomadic culture, travelling between worlds in search of supplies and materials needed for their continued survival.

First contact between the Federation and Pakleds took place in 2365, when the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) answered a distress signal from a Pakled transport, the Mondor. After affecting repairs to their ship, the Pakleds attempted to hold Enterprise chief engineer Geordi La Forge captive, but eventually released him after witnessing a demonstration by the Enterprise. 

In 2366, a Pakled trade ship rescued the android Lore, who had been drifting free in space for nearly two years following his attempted betrayal of the Enterprise crew. 

In late 2370, Pakleds shipped retro-viral vaccines across the Demilitarized Zone to the Cardassians.
