THE NUMATI
The Numati are a peaceful race of touch-telepaths who were once attacked by a hostile species of slavers that deceived them by claiming to have good intentions. As a consequence, they have protocols for First Contact that involve holistically evaluating a civilization before revealing the location of their homeworld. Their typical method of greeting, which involves touching a person and opening their mind to them, proved disastrous during First Contact with the Federation. Due to differences in the way that their minds process thoughts, and the way Alpha and Beta quadrant species process thoughts, they accidentally transformed whimsical thoughts into serious delusions in Katra Station personnel. Exceedingly embarrassed by this incident, they have vowed to use more care in the future.
Update: On the Season 1 Katra Mission 'The Binds that Tie' the Numati conducted an espionage operation against the USS Discovery, stealing the plans for the Prometheus Class vessel. This operation was conducted from the diplomatic vessel NDCSS Understanding. The ship was impounded and the entire crew arrested, along with their Captain Orleanne. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to put the stolen plans back into Starfleet control, and this remains a concern.
As a condition of returning the Numati spies of the Diplomatic Corps back to the Numati, official diplomatic channels were opened and a small Numati embassy was placed on Katra.Ambassador Benvinnot
