Aside from their rare interactions with the Kesat, the Ba'Neth were widely considered a myth. Their name translates to "shadow people" in the Kesat language. | Aside from their rare interactions with the Kesat, the Ba'Neth were widely considered a myth.

The Ba'Neth were encountered by Starfleet in 2376 by the [[ma:USS Voyager|USS Voyager]], where a member of the crew was assaulted by a Ba'Neth as it attempted to download tactical information. After locating a Ba'Neth space station, Voyager traded a photolitic converter used to locate the species for information to treat their injured crewmember. | The Ba'Neth were encountered by Starfleet in 2376 by the [[ma:USS Voyager|USS Voyager]], where a member of the crew was assaulted by a Ba'Neth as it attempted to download tactical information.

The Ba'Neth are considered to have tentacles, and are non-humanoid. However, due to the nature of their cloaking technology, no one has truly seen a Ba'Neth, and rumor ensues about their actual appearance or physiology. | The Ba'Neth are considered to have tentacles, and are non-humanoid.

Though no one is sure just how advanced they are technologically, the Ba'Neth seem particularly adept in cloaking technology, used to hide both themselves and their vessels, of which leaves residual amounts of short-lived veridium isotopes. Their cloaks are also used so that they remain undetected as they observe other species traveling through their area of space. | Though no one is sure just how advanced they are technologically, the Ba'Neth seem particularly adept in cloaking technology, used to hide both themselves and their vessels, of which leaves residual amounts of short-lived veridium isotopes.

As every Ba'Neth installation is cloaked, it is impossible to determine just how extensive their forces are. It's understood that they at least have at least have vessels and stations capable of combat, all equipped with stealth technology.<ref>[[ma:Ba'Neth|Ba'Neth]], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
