The Menthars were an ancient race that were the cause of their own extinction during their long war with the Promellians, that ended with the battle at Orelious IX during the 14th century.

History books show many fascinating records of the Menthar's innovative battle strategies. They were the first to use the Kavis Teke elusive maneuver as well as the Passive Lure stratagem which was comparable to the strategies of Napoleon Bonaparte. They also developed a way to modify aceton assimilators to create a booby trap for starships. Both a Promellian battle cruiser and the USS Enterprise-D became trapped in the trap the Menthars set. (TNG: "Booby Trap")

Geordi La Forge recalled the time they were caught in the Menthar trap to Guinan, in 2367, a year after the event, when he described to her his infatuation with a hologram of Leah Brahms. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 36, the homeworld of the Menthars was located in the Alpha Quadrant.
