Kwee

A diminuative simian species which evolved on the same homeworld as the Verrantin. The Kwee and Verrantin have evolutionarily had a symbiotic relationship throughout their planet-bound history. They continue this arrangement culturally. (Verrantin and Kwee tend to pair-up and remain friends throughout their lives.) Although the Kwee appear to be very happy to hold the subordinate position in this partnership, there are those in the Federation which believe that the Verrantin are unfairly oppressing them.
