Tzenkethi

The Tzenkethi were a warp-capable civilization native to the planet Tzenketh. They were led by a ruler known as the Autarch

In the mid-24th century, the Tzenkethi fought a war with the United Federation of Planets. Among the starships involved was the USS Okinawa, under the command of Captain Leyton, who had fought against a number of Tzenkethi raiders.

In late 2371, a Founder posing as Federation Ambassador Krajensky informed Captain Benjamin Sisko that the current Autarch had been deposed. He ordered the USS Defiant to the Federation-Tzenkethi border to reinforce the Federation presence to the new leading faction. However, the entire mission had actually been engineered by the Dominion in an attempt to incite another war between the two powers; there never was a coup d'etat. After his identity was exposed, the Changeling commandeered the Defiant and attempted to attack a Tzenkethi settlement on M'kemas III, though he was stopped before the Defiant reached the planet.
