History:
A race of hardy space pioneers, the Bardeezans are traders, pilots, couriers and even smugglers. Their squat appearance, tanned complexion and hearty manner make them great drinking companions and trusted friends - so long as you don't cross them in business.
A quirk of their culture is that everyone and place on Bardeez is numbered, so all proper nouns are a phonetic pronounciation of the first nine numbers. For example, Landinam Losifar is 1-5-6-4.
1 – Landi
2 – Hug
3 – Onih
4 – Ifar
5 – Nam
6 – Los
7 – Fair
8 – Gogi
9 – Gobo
Physiology:
They are also very long lived, not reaching maturity until their 50s, and living to about 200 years, baring accidents.

NB: Bardeezan merchant ships have traversed the Bajoran wormhole into the Gamma Quadrant. One such ship left Deep Space Nine the night Dukat was kidnapped by the Maquis. As one of only two to do so, suspicion quickly shifted to the other ship, a Galdador freighter.
