History
First contact with the Barzans occurred before the 2250s, by which time Starfleet had officers native to the species.[1]
Starfleet first contact with the Barzan was a disaster. The Barzan fired a ceremonial weapon at the USS Fleetfoot, a great honour and greeting gesture. Perciving it as an attack the USS Fleetfoot crippled the Barzan vessel.[2]
In 2366, a wormhole was discovered near Barzan II, of which the Barzans sent within an automated space probe. It was presumed that the wormhole led into the Gamma Quadrant, and the Barzanian Planetary Republic intended to sell the rights to the wormhole to the highest bidder. However, negotiations for the wormhole fell through when it was discovered that it was unstable, and talks ultimately fell apart.
Government
The governing body for the Barzans is called the Barzanian Planetary Republic, located on their homeworld. It is headed by a Premier.[3] They are politically neutral and have an economy based on rare mineral export and development of environmental and life support gear.
Description
The Barzans are humanoid in appearance, with light copper to tan skin, and facial ridges. Their hairline is seated far back from their forehead.
Physiology
Due to the nature of their homeworld, Barzans require small amounts of ammonia, and must wear a small breathing apparatus over the cheek. The breather is worn about the neck and lower head, composed of small disks held at each end of the mouth by a simple open frame extending from the top and bottom of the ear.

Technology
Resource-poor and so far dependent on other species for generations, the Barzans are technologically only moderately advanced, and they do not have manned space travel capabilities of their own.
Military
Starfleet Intelligence Files
The USS Enterprise-D visited Barzan II on stardate 43385.6 for access negotiations to the Barzan wormhole.
