Note: This is a PC and NPC rated species.

The Pakleds are a heavyset humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant. To the casual observer, the Pakleds appear to be intellectually challenged, especially in their verbal skills.

The Pakleds are driven by their unwillingness to wait to gain their own technological knowledge. They therefore try to acquire technology from other species, generally by theft.

In 2365, a Pakled transport first encountered the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D in the Rhomboid Dronegar sector 006. The ship, named the Mondor, had sent out a distress call because their ship was broken and they wished to acquire new technology. They were offered assistance by the Enterprise, who lent the Pakleds their chief engineer, Geordi La Forge, to help fix their ship. The Pakleds kidnapped La Forge, but eventually returned him after the Enterprise showed a display of its "force," with a harmless pyrotechnic display involving the Bussard collectors.

In 2419, the Grand Negus of the Ferengi Alliance personally struck a deal with the Pakled leaders to take over the administration of their world, absorbing them into the Alliance in all but name. They are now little more than servants to the Ferengi, and if the contract was to be followed to the letter, the Grand Negus himself.
