| - The Mathenites were a space-faring neutral civilization governed by the Mathenite government. In 2371, the Mathenites offered sanctuary to Cardassian dissident Tekeny Ghemor, who then went on to live among them for two years. (DS9: "Second Skin") This species was only mentioned in dialogue. The name of this species was from StarTrek.com, who speculated that their homeworld was named Mathen. According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 47) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), there was a star system named Mathen, which might possibly be the system of origin for this species, in the Alpha Quadrant. The system's primary was a F-class star. In the late 24th century, it was an independent system.
- To a human observer, Mathenites possess a combination of feline, canine, and primate characteristics. The basic body structure is quadrupedal, and they are covered in a layer of fur that lays close against the body. Lavender-grey has been observed on at least one individual, though other colors may exist. Though the rear legs are digitigrade, Mathenites' front arms have hands with padded knuckles, which they walk on similarly to the Earth gorilla. These hands, with stubby, clawed fingers, serve well for basic gripping when seated or laying down, and are used while eating, but cannot be used for finer detail work, nor while standing on all fours. Mathenites instead use a long, strong prehensile tail for detailed work, including tool manipulation. The tail can also be used for self-defense in multiple ways, tripping an opponent by ensnaring his legs, or by snapping it like a whip against an aggressor. While they have less in the way of brute strength than some humanoid species (such as Cardassians), their agility and reaction time makes it a poor idea to underestimate a Mathenite in combat. The Mathenite language is significantly different from most humanoid languages, and while Mathenites are capable of speaking Federation Standard without the use of a translator or vocoder, the brevity with which they do so suggests that it may well be painful.
