Description
Reclusive insectoid civilization from planet Torona IV.  Establishment of siplomatic relations with the Jarada had been a Federation priority for some time because of their strategic importance.  The Jarada were known for the extreme attention to the detail of protocol.  The mispronunciation of a single word once led to a 20 year rift in communication.  Captain Jean-Luc Picard successfully delivered the appropriate greetings to the Jarada in 2364, thus paving the way for further diplomatic relations (The Big Good-Bye -TNG).  The Pakled ship Mondor showed evidence of using technology borrowed or stolen from a variety of other cultures, including the Jaradans (Samaritan Snare -TNG).
