- Note: This race is a PC and NPC species.
The Hupyrians are a humanoid species, native to the Alpha Quadrant.
Physiology
They have tight skin, wrinkles around their mouths and eyes, a continuously "frowning" expression, and the males are known for being especially tall.
Susceptible to groin injuries, it is possible that this humanoid species is more fragile than most.
Known History
Popular with the Ferengi Grand Naguses, this species is often used by powerful Ferengi as servants, due to their natural devotion of service.
- Hupyrian servants take vows of silence, and speak only to their masters.
- Other Alpha Quadrant species see them as "gentle giants."
For centuries, conflict was rife among Hupyrians, and they became known for their guerrilla warfare tactics.
They warred mainly with the Ferengi, who would later conquer them and enslave them.
During the reign of Grand Nagus Oblat, the Hupyrian People's Unity Front attempted to seize Oblat's duridium mines, as part of their planned liberation of the Hupyrian civilization from the Ferengi. Afraid he would lose his lucrative mines, Oblat formed the Ferengi/Hupyrian "Friendship Brigade." Few Ferengi joined the organization until Oblat announced that every recruit would receive a free can of the recently discovered Hupyrian beetle snuff every week. The numbers of the Friendship Brigade swelled, and the Hupyrian insurrection was halted with high Hupyrian casualties a result.
Several Hupyrians then became servants to influential Ferengi, and became well-regarded for their devotion to their masters.
Hupyrians are known for their drug "beetle snuff," which became a favored drug of Grand Nagus Zek, as well as many other Ferengi.
Since all Hupyrians ever seen by Federation members were in the service of a Ferengi, it is possible that their species were subjugated and part of the Ferengi Alliance.
