The Vomnin were a race of beings who had achieved stellar flight by the late 24th century. They were somewhat humanoid, leaning on their arms for support while walking like terrestrial gorillas, and also had wide, flat faces. Like the Federation, the Vomnin often explore well beyond their borders. They're extremely interested in salvaging and using abandoned alien technology. (DTI novel: Watching the Clock) The Vomnin Confederacy is the main power within the Gum Nebula and a major state within the Beta Quadrant.
