History
On stardate 5143.3 (2269), a Vendorian disguised as the interstellar trader and philanthropist Carter Winston was discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise. He had been missing for 5 years. He was able to con them into entering the neutral zone where several Romulan ships appeared and surrounded the USS Enterprise.
At this time it became obvious that had been his plan all along. However due to the feelings for Winston's fiancée that he "inherited? from the original Winston, the Vendorian switched sides at the last moment, undoing the Romulan plot to capture the Federations starship.
Another recorded encounter with a Vendorian revealed that the Orion Syndicate had periodically visited the planet and recruited some of them to be assassins and spies. This ended when one of the Vendorians killed his Orion master and assumed his identity. He was eventually captured by Federation police and under examination his true identity was revealed. Instead of being imprisoned on a penal planet he was returned to his home world.
As a result of the encounter with the Romulans the Federation established a quarantine zone that surrounds their home world on the edge of the neutral zone. Any Vendorians discovered outside this zone are immediately returned.
Government
As far as it can be determined they have no central government. Scans from space have shown that their population is very widely scattered with no groupings larger than a dozen. Certain scientists have theorized that based on the population dispersal that there is no formal government at all.
It is unknown at this time if these small groups of population are organized in any fashion and if they are do they resemble clans, tribes or families in structure and development.
Description
A race of sentient shape-shifters native to the planet Vendor. In their natural form, Vendorians look rather like floating orange lamps adorned with six trailing tentacles. Because of their ability to rearrange their molecular structures at will, thus taking on the shapes of various humanoid species, Federation authorities look upon them with suspicion.
Physiology
They can easily alter their molecular structures at will, thus taking on the shapes of any species or animal life form. This and the ability to float are considered to be evolutionary survival traits needed to survive on their world.
Psychology
Very little data is available in regards to their mental state other than the fact that every one encountered by the Federation so far has been deceitful.
Religion
No data has been discovered to reveal any info regarding the possibility that they might have some form of religion. Again certain scientists have theorized that there is no formal religion due to the scattered nature of the population. Scans from orbit would seem to support this theory.
Mythology
No data has been discovered to reveal any info regarding the possibility that they might have some form of mythology. No statues, monoliths or other primitive examples of divine or mythological beliefs have been discovered.
Society
Based on the little data available at this time it is believed that they do not have a real structure like a society. Their world is incredibly hostile and dangerous and the largest groupings tend to be smaller than a dozen members in size.
Extensive scans from orbit has revealed that these groups tend to live in one area for a while and then move on to another area. As a result there are no large structures of any kind anywhere on the planet. Small villages tend to be designed with defence in mind and are usually in hard to reach locations. Even these vary in design based mostly on the location and availability of materials for construction.
Some examples of permanent transient villages are the homes built into caves in cliffs, tree top structures and walled barricades of various materials surrounding a half dozen buildings.
Culture
It is doubtful if they have any. Scans from space have revealed no statures, monoliths or other artistic endeavours. Requests for surface facilities that would allow this species to be observed and data collected that might prove the existence of cultural interests and activities has so far been denied.
Customs
Unknown as of this time as their world is considered off limits due to the Federation quarantine zone that surrounds their home world. Scans from space have not revealed any data that could be used to confirm any customs. So far numerous requests to place a observation facility on the surface have been 100% denied.
Technology
It is believed that they are far behind both the Federation and the Romulans when it comes to technology. They have no form of interstellar travel or space craft. No industrial technology is evident. They do have wind and water powered mills that have been designed to perform a number of different tasks depending on the needs of the people at the time. Some of these include the production of power for use in various devices.
It is believed that those members of this species that have been off world have learned new ideas and technology during their travels. If that is true then their technological advancement is only limited by their ability to work together and by the scarcity of various minerals and other key elements needed to produce certain forms of technology.
Economy
Completely self-sufficient as they are prevented from having any off world contact by the Federation quarantine zone that surrounds their home world. Scans would seem to indicate that various groups do get together to trade. In fact there are numerous locations that due to the natural security they provide from the native wildlife serve as market places for numerous groups to meet and trade.
Military
They do not seem to have any form of military force nor do they seem to need one. They are much to busy fighting the environment and numerous dangerous creatures. Added to this is the fact that their population is scattered over the entire planet in small groupings of less than a dozen.
The Federation enforces a quarantine zone around their home world even though it is technically right on the border of the neutral zone with the Romulans.

Patrolling near the Neutral Zone in 2269, the U.S.S. Enterprise found a ship manned by Carter Winston, a Federation citizen who has been missing for 5 years.
