The Odib were a humanoid race from the planet Odib that had bald heads and beards. Throughout their history the Odib were forced to fight the Isitri several times when they came under the control of "troublesome minds", eventually forcing them to force a treaty upon the Isitri under which the Isitri had to control their "troublesome minds" or be wiped out by the Odib. When Berlis Aknista came to power in 2270 the Odib dispatched a fleet to annihilate the Isitri but the fleet was badly battered and the conflict was only ended by the USS Enterprise's intervention.
