A batfish was an aquatic lifeform native to a planet in the Hydra Daco system.
History and specifics[]
In the 2270s decade, batfish were known to Starfleet Academy Cadet Kyoshi Nogura. In the year 2274, he incorporated them into his psychology term project, a starship race that involved completing tasks along the way. He assigned the Cutter-class USS Rim Explorer to collect a batfish as part of the first leg of the race. However, Rim Explorer was attacked and destroyed by a Free Trader starship in the system before they reached the batfish's planet. (TOS comic: "The Nogura Regatta")
