Dopterians

Player Race: No
Relation to UFP: Unknown

ACTDNoteworthy:
- can't really justify them being a player race.

Description
Humanoid species whose brains have certain structural similiarities to the Ferengi.  One characteristic of the Dopterians is that neither they nor the Ferengi can be empathically sensed by a Betazoid.  A Dopterian stole Lwaxana Troi's precious latinum hair-brooch on station Deep Space 9 in 2369, but she was unable to sense any feeling of guilt from the thief, for this reason (The Forsaken -DS9).  Gorta was a Dopterian accomplice to the Duras sisters' magnesite ore mining operation on Kalla III in 2370 (Firstborn -TNG).
