Mazarite

A Mazarite Male

The Mazarites are a humanoid species native to the planet Mazar. They are distinguished by two folded skin flaps on the sides of their faces that run from their eyebrows and surround their ears and under their temples. Mazarites also have dark hair with streaks of white hair swept back from the temples, along the sides. And at least in men, it is usually worn pulled back into a ponytail.

In 2149, the Klingon scientist, Antaak, disguised himself as a Mazarite and attended an IME conference on Tiburon. (ENT: "Affliction")

In 2152, Vulcan Ambassador V'Lar was investigating corruption in the Mazarite government. When she collected enough findings to prosecute them, she asked to be extracted. So the Mazarites she was investigating would not go after her, fake charges were brought on her, and she was taken, as if as a criminal, back to Vulcan.

The Mazarites, however, did go after her, while she was aboard the Earth starship Enterprise. Before the Mazarites could harm her, the Vulcan starship Sh'Raan came to the rescue. (ENT: "Fallen Hero")

Government

The planet Mazar was governed by a corrupt governmental body called the Mazarite High Council during the 2200s. This corruption was uncovered by the Vulcan Ambassador V'Lar in 2152.

Technology

In the 2150s the Mazarites were technologically comparable to Humans. Their ships were only a little faster then Starfleet ships, at approximately warp 5.2. They also possesed deflector shields and communications jamming technology. (ENT: "Fallen Hero")

Starship types

Mazarite Shuttle

A Mazarite Shuttle

A Mazarite shuttle is a type of shuttlecraft stowed aboard Mazarite warships.

One of these shuttles was dispatched to Enterprise, in 2151, to retrieve Vulcan ambassador V'Lar from their possession. (ENT: "Fallen Hero"). The vessel did not appear to be very large and was capable of docking with Enterprise's docking port on her saucer section. The shuttle did not appear to be warp capable and so therefore could be thought to serve as an intermediate range of operations from either a ship or planetary point of origin.

Mazarite Warship

Mazarite warships

Mazarite warships ware a type of starship utilized by the Mazarite High Council's corrupt government during the mid-22nd century. The Mazarites were technologically comparable to Humans in the 2150s. However, the Mazarites, like the Humans, were far less advanced than the Vulcans. One Vulcan combat cruiser can easily disable several Mazarite warships.

Mazarite warships have a maximum speed of at least Warp 5. They had deflector shield technology, and the ability to jam other ships communications technology. Mazarite warships were also equipped with shuttlecraft.

In early 2152, three of these ships chased Enterprise while they were escorting Ambassador V'Lar to Vulcan, to offer testimony against their corrupt government. The warships were eventually able to catch Enterprise, and sent a shuttle to take V'Lar back to Mazar.

Enterprise, however, was able to jam their sensors long enough for the Sh'Raan to arrive, and disable the Mazarite ships. The Vulcan Captain then hailed Enterprise, and told Captain Archer to tell the Mazarites "to surrender their weapons, or we'll destroy their ships." The Mazarites then surrendered, and the Sh'Raan was able to return the Ambassador. (ENT: "Fallen Hero").
