Xarantine
Discuss4this wiki
The Xarantine are a spacefaring species near Klingon space. The Klingons considered them to be "no match" for them.
In 2151, the Klingon vessel IKS Somraw raided a Xarantine outpost and looted Xarantine ale to celebrate the victory. However, unknown to the Klingons, the ale was poisoned. Falling ill and being attacked by Xarantine ships, the commander of the Somraw eventually decided to retreat into a Q'tahL class gas giant's atmosphere. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")
