The Khwopians were an amphibious, technologically-advanced species native to the planet Khwopa. They resembled large, upright salamanders, with blue skin and three pairs of gills on their heads.
In 2380, the USS Cerritos had an away mission on Khwopa to repair a water filtration system. The Khwopians' king at that time was Phibeas. (LD: "Much Ado About Boimler")
In 2382, the Anaximander and the USS Beagle were forced to set down on Khwopa for repairs in an alternate reality. However, unlike in the prime universe and the alternate Beckett Mariner's universe, the Khwopians were hostile and captured both crews, imprisoning them before Elim Garak rescued everyone. While holding off the Khwopians so that the Anaximander could launch, Curzon Dax was mortally wounded and he later died. (LD: "Fissure Quest")
