The Chenari were a species who were saved from extinction through the actions of James T. Kirk many years prior to the end of his five-year mission in command of the USS Enterprise.

In 2378, Icheb included this information, along with Kirk's encounters with the Pelosians and the Baezians, in his final report to Captain Kathryn Janeway, as part of the Early Starfleet History course of his Academy training. (VOY: "Q2")

Apocrypha[]

The encounter with the Chenari, transpiring in 2263 while Kirk commanded the USS Sagacawea, is detailed in the Pocket TOS novel The Captain's Oath. The Chenari are described as being bipeds that were somewhat larger than humans, having dark blue-grey bodies, stiff heavy tails, wide frills, beaked mouths and bat-like wings that were too small for flight. They were a preindustrial society, whose home planet Chenar was devastated by a nearby quasar.
