Markonian

Markonians are a were a humanoid species native to the Delta Quadrant. Following the destruction of their homeworld, the Markonians became a nomadic people fostering good relationships between species by trade and diplomacy.

The Markonians adapted well to their new nomadic lifestyle and became traders, explorers and diplomats. They were neutral traders and brokers as well among the starfaring people of their region, and thus gained their trust. Their status as neutral party earned the Markonians the trust of neighboring species, and the Markonians helped diffuse territorial conflicts.

The architectural design of their outpost, which was encountered by USS Voyager was used in the design and construction of the deep space station by Starfleet.
