Venturi

The Venturi (non-canonical name, as the species has never been named in canon) are a species of scaly pink-colored humanoids which have been often seen aboard the space station Deep Space 9. They possess clawed hands and no visible nose or ears.

Culture
In the game Starfleet Academy, they are a mercantile race and are one of the oldest and most honored civilizations in the Federation. However, most Venturi believe the Federation was not doing enough. Several have turned to piracy to pay for the aid they believe they require.
