Humanoid species whose brains have certain structural similarities to the Ferengi. One characteristic of the Dopterians is that neither they nor the Ferengi can be empathically sensed by a Betazoid. A Dopterian stole Lwaxana Troi's precious latinum hair-brooch on station Deep Space 9 in 2369, but she was unable to sense any feeling of guilt from the thief, for this reason. Gorta (pictured) was a Dopterian accomplice to the Duras sisters' magnesite ore mining operation on Kalla III in 2370.
