The Kesprytt were an intelligent and warp-capable species native to the planet Kesprytt III.
They were divided into two rivaling countries known as the Kes and the Prytt Alliance. Due to the long conflict between the two nations, both states have developed a strong sense of paranoia and xenophobia. There were virtually no inter-governmental communications, not even in an emergency capacity, since the late 23rd century.
In 2370, the majority of the species (the Kes) sought associate membership in the United Federation of Planets. However, their application was ultimately rejected after a diplomatic incident involving a Kes ambassador. During a mission to rescue captured crewmembers from the Prytt, the ambassador exhibited extreme paranoia, refusing to discuss matters with Commander Riker outside his own quarters, which he deemed the only secure location. This behavior demonstrated the Kes' deep-rooted mistrust, leading to the denial of their membership request. (TNG: "Attached")
