Blue skinned humanoids from Benzar. Benzar is similar to most class M worlds except it has significant quantities of methane, thus Benzite's off their homeworld require a small special breathing device worn over their face to supply additional gasses whilst they are in oxygen atmospheres. This apparatus is worn on their chest with an extension reaching up to just in front of the mouth and nose slit. The slit is wider than the mouth with four facillae-like extensions, much like the Terran catfish. Medical advancements in 2370 rendered the breathing device obsolete. Other distinguishing features include no facial hair, blue-gray skin and large, short-pointed ears; most Benzites look similar and Benzites from the same geostructure appear identical to all but other Benzites. As a race, Benzites show a sincere but sometimes annoying eagerness to please that can be perceived as superiority. In contrast to Starfleet procedures, the Benzite space service calls for an officer to withhold the report of any unusual finding until a full analysis can be run and a resolution offered.
