The New Essentialists were a group led by Pascal Fullerton and Kopyc K'narf which opposed what they saw to be moral decadence in the Federation.
In 2373, the New Essentialists were on Risa, which they had come to see as the cause of the Federation's problems. Worf helped the New Essentialists to sabotage Risa's weather modification network to show visitors the true nature of the planet, but turned against them when they attempted to cause earthquakes to damage Risa's buildings using seismic regulators. (DS9 episode: "Let He Who Is Without Sin...")
The New Essentialists later protested against Federation President Aennik Okeg. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many)
