The Petarians are a spacefaring species from Petaria.
Kasidy Yates and the SS Xhosa crew were working for the Petarians in 2371. Yates commented to Benjamin Sisko that the Petarians made her use outdated technology such as mark five transporters. (DS9 episode: "Family Business")
Yates was still working for the Petarians in 2383 and they had not outfitted the Xhosa with a more up-to-date transporter system at that time. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)
Quark hired the Petarian investigator Mayereen Viray to locate Morn. (DS9 novel: Sacraments of Fire)
