The Karemma are a humanoid civilization native to the Gamma Quadrant planet Karemma. They are also members of the Dominion. Relations between the Karemma and the Alpha Quadrant were first established by the Ferengi in 2370, for the purchase of tulaberry wine.
Physically, Karemma are tall and slender with black or dark brown hair that is combed back. They have a head ridge, like Klingons, but smoother and without edges. The head ridge goes down, and over the nose. The ridge can be slightly seen to the chin of a Karemma. As a result of this ridge, their nose looks very large. Karemma have normal eyes that are gray, black or brown. The nose is quite large in the lower end. It is very broad and one line in the skin on each side of their nose is pointing downwards to the outer sides of their face.
In 2371, Federation representatives aboard the USS Defiant NX-74205 came together with First Minister Ornithar of the Karemma in an attempt to contact the Founders. The meeting was arranged by Quark, who had previously negotiated the tulaberry wine trade. Ornithar admitted that the only contact the Karemma had with the Founders was through their representatives, the Vorta. He did direct the Defiant crew to Callinon VII, where they had been instructed to send all inquiries.
In the following year, the Karemma began conducting trade with the Federation, exporting goods such as Karemman fleece. The Ferengi acted as neutral intermediaries, although they unfairly gouged the Karemma with fabricated taxes and tariffs. In 2372, a Karemman starship commanded by Hanok met with the Defiant to discuss their complaints about the trade duties. During the meeting, the ships were intercepted by two Jem'Hadar. All four ships entered the atmosphere of a gas giant, where the Defiant was able to destroy the Jem'Hadar ships and rescue the crew of the Karemman ship.
