Bandi

The Bandi are a humanoid species native to the planet Deneb IV in the Alpha Quadrant. The Bandi applied to the United Federation of Planets for membership in 2364 but were rejected because they had captured and enslaved an alien life form. Perhaps purely by coincidence, "Bandi" was the name of a vaguely ursine empathic parasite in an early Star Trek story premise by David Gerrold, who was involved in the development of Star Trek: The Next Generation and novelized "Encounter at Farpoint"
