Yridian: Difference between revisions

encountered = Often present on Deep Space 9. ''If Wishes Were Horses'' (DS9)|

A race of humanoids known as dealers of information. Operators of several deep space freelance spy networks, they can be considered sources of both legal and illegal information. They will sell their secrets to the highest bidder, and therefore are considered a threat to Federation security. Arrest warrants are outstanding for the leaders of the main Yridian spy networks. Physically, they are stooped over, grey-skinned humanoids with very loose, flaccid, skin. Its natives include Jaglom Shrek, Yranac, Yog, and the destroyer crew who sold the secrets of Galen's DNA puzzle to the Cardassians as a new energy source â�?��?? in transmissions overheard by the Romulans. They are empathetically sensible, unlike Ferengi, Breen, and Dopterians. Natives use disrupters as sidearms. During the early crisis in the Demilitarized Zone, Commander Sisko erroneously refers to these traditional information-brokers as the go-betweens for arms deliveries between Cardassia and The Circle on Bajor months earlier; he meant the Kressari. Not surprisingly, at the time his tailor shop is bombed Garak owed money to a Yridian. Constable Odo later had taken a Yridian smuggler into custody and confiscated a bottle of an unspecified beverage from him as evidence.
