The Pensarkans are a species native to the Delta Quadrant, who are amongst those who participate in Tsunkatse matches.

After Seven of Nine's conscription into Tsunkatse in 2376, Penk initially planned to have her fight a Red Match against the Pensarkan. However, the Hirogen fighter convinced him that losing his favorite new fighter in an immediate match to the death would be a waste.

The Pensarkan later fought a Bendali opponent. B'Elanna Torres thought the match was too close to call, contrary to Harry Kim's prediction. (VOY: "Tsunkatse")
