The Tzenkethi are a spacefaring civilization native to the planet Tzenketh. They are led by a ruler known as the Autarch.
In the 24th century, the Tzenkethi fought a war with the United Federation of Planets. Amongst the starships involved was the USS Okinawa, under the command of Captain Leyton, who had fought against a number of Tzenkethi raiders. (DS9: "The Adversary", "Paradise Lost")
In late 2371, a Founder posing as Federation Ambassador Krajensky informed Captain Benjamin Sisko that the current Tzenkethi 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 was actually engineered by the Dominion 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 the Tzenkethi settlement on M'kemas III, though he was stopped before the Defiant reached the planet. (DS9: "The Adversary")
Background Information
The Tzenkethi have never been seen on-screen. It is unclear if they are a humanoid race or not.
Robert Hewitt Wolfe said in December 2006 that he thought that he had named the Tzenkethi by combining the name Kzinti (from Larry Niven's race of aliens that appeared in the animated series episode "The Slaver Weapon") with Tsankth, after a race from the RuneQuest and HeroQuest RPGs. Wolfe also said he did not picture them as cats like the Kzinti, but as being like the Hakazit from Jack L. Chalker's Well of Souls novels. He saw the Tzenkethi as being "heavily-armored lizard things". [1]
According to Star Trek: Star Charts, the Tzenkethi government is called the Tzenkethi Coalition. They were also referred to in the novel Articles of the Federation. They join the Typhon Pact (Typhon Pact at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works), an alliance of non-Federation powers, in the novel A Singular Destiny.
