Kessok

The Kessok is an unusual species because they are scilicon-based lifeforms and they do not worry about genders. In 2378 the Cardassians discovered them and wanted to think they were protecting the Kessok. The Kessok, under Cardassian manipulation, attacked several ships, including the U.S.S. Berkley at the Vesuvi Dust Cloud and the IKV Jonkain the Belaruz system but first found out by the U.S.S. Soverign in the Nepenthe System. In the Belaruz system, a Kessok named Neb-lus told the Soverign the whole storyand joined the effort to stop the "Cardies" at the Omega Draconis system and provide the chance for first contact with Starfleet.
