Napean; (left) A race of partially empathic humanoids from Napea II. The Napeans are members of the Federation but take little interest in the rest of the galaxy. The Napeans are physically very similar to Terrans and Betazoids. Genetic analysis leads to the supposition that the Napean race is a transplanted cross between the two races, yet just different enough to be detected. Most Napian do not bother to use or cultivate their Psi skills, as their training techniques can take years for what Betazoids and Vulcans learn in weeks. Those that perfect their Empathic and limited Telepathic skills serve professionally in Napian culture. TNG "Eye of the Beholder" 7-170

Native American colonist; Terran colonists originating from Earth. A tribal leader from the Dorvan Indian colony who is among fellow settlers confronting Gul Evek on Volan III about the attacks on the Federation Merchant Ship when Commander Sisko and Dukat show up and fellow colonist Bill Samuels is revealed to have died in Cardassian hands. He later helps carry out Samuels' bodybag. DS9 "The Maquis, Part I" 2-40

Nausicaan; Tall, surly, ill-tempered humanoids from some unknown planet in deep space. After 60 years of contacts between the Nausicaans, there is still little known about them. They have scattered outposts on the borders of the Federation near Ferengi space, leading to the theory that their homeworld is somewhere in their sphere of influence. Nausicaans are generally very inhospitable with vaguely lizard like faces and have attacked people with little provocation.TNG "Tapestry" 6-141

Nehru Colony; Federation colony near station Deep Space 9 and the Bajoran system. Contacted via subspace link under the orders of science officer Jadzia Dax in 2369, in an attempt to rescue the station's computer system threatened by an invading software life-form. DS9 "The Forsaken" 1-17

Noophian; A race that culturally prefers efficiency and modernism over any need for history or reverence for older artifacts. A Noophian on Earth would question why so much history had been preserved. TNG "Brothers" 4-77

Novans; Refers to the descendants of the original Terra Nova colonists, who live underground. The Novans did not believe they were descended from humans, instead thinking that humans were the ones responsible for the "Poison Rain" that contaminated their planet and sent them underground. Captain Archer eventually convinced them that their "go-befores" were, in fact, human, and relocated them to a safer side of the planet. ENT "Terra Nova" 1-6

Numiri; Planet: name unspecified. Covert, warlike rivals to the peaceful Baneans with weaponry equal and shielding perhaps superior to Voyager. They once shared the same planet. VOY "Ex Post Facto" 1-8

Nyrian; Technologically advanced humanoid ccivilization from the Delta Quadrant. The Nyrians had adbanced long-range transporter systems called translocators that they used to abduct crews of passing spacecraft andnearby space station. Using their translocators, they replacedthe crews of those ships and stations with Nyrian ersonnel. thereby gaining control of those vessels. Despite these acts of piracy, the Nyrians considered themselves a benevolent people, and they went to considerable lengths to care for those whose ships they had stolen. In 2373, Nyrian operatives abducted the crew of Voyager. The captivity did not last long, for Boyager captina Janeway and her crew were successful in escaping from the Nyrian vessel. In the process, they persuaded the Nyrians to release the prisoners held in the other environments on the Nyrian ship. VOY "Displaced" 3-67
