The Ba'ku are a humanoid civilization from the planet Ba'ku within the Briar Patch, in Sector 441.
The Ba'ku people were a technologically advanced humanoid civilization. In the early 21st century, the race developed the means to build weapons of mass destruction and was on the brink of self-annihilation. A small enlightened group of the Ba'ku people escaped this horror and found an isolated planet.
This group of Ba'ku follow a simple way of life and prohibit themselves from using technology. At first they were unaware of the metaphasic radiation in the planet's rings, which caused their aging process to significantly decelerate, although it was later discovered and cherished.
The Ba'ku society consists of strong bonds between each individual as there are less than a thousand living in the village. Their simpler way of life eventually prompted some of the younger Ba'ku villagers - who wanted to explore the galaxy with offlanders - to rebel against their elders, and an attempt was made to take over the village. When they were unsuccessful, they were exiled and eventually became the Son'a people.
The Ba'ku became a Federation members sometime prior to 2378.
