Quonset
History:
The Quonset were a humanoid race that operated a ramshackle deuterium-mining colony on an isolated
planet that they were poorly trained or equipped to defend. When Enterprise visited the Quonset to trade for deuterium in 2152, they
found it under duress from Klingon raiders. Korok had been extorting their resources for some five years with threats of violence.
Archer offered the administrator Tessic aid to teach the colonists to defend themselves so that they could win their freedom from the
bullying Klingons. They moved mobile structures to expose the volatile plasma pumps with a view to trapping the Klingons there. They
also helped train the colonists with firearms and taught them to combat Klingon bat'leths. When the Klingons returned they were drawn
into the trap and finally forced to abandon their quarry.
