Malurians

The Malurians were a scaly, gray-skinned and warp-capable species from the Malurian system. The Malurians had a total population of four billion on four inhabited planets. In 2151, the Malurians were secretly mining the Akaali homeworld for veridium isotope using drilling equipment saturated with tetracyanate 622. The mining team was lead by Garos, who was disguised as an Akaali shopkeeper most of the time. Most of the other miners were also disguised as Akaali. The entrance to the mine was accessed through a secret passage in Garos' shop. ( ENT : "Civilization ")
