The Enarans are the natives of the planet Enara Prime in the Delta Quadrant. They are a warp-capable species but have only relatively low-level engines. The Enarans are very concerned with personal hygiene and invented radioseptics for hand washing and personal cleaning. In addition to Enara Prime, they maintain an outpost at the Fima Colony.

Physically, the Enarans are humanoid with red spotting near the eyes and forehead. As a species they are telepathic, able to implant memories in another person whether they are willing or not. However, making telepathic contact with an unwilling person is deeply condemned.

In 2373, the USS Voyager became the first Federation ship to make contact with the Enarans. At that time B'Elanna Torres experienced intense telepathic memories of an Enaran holocaust that had taken place several decades earlier. During this time a group who did not wish to use technology, called the Regressives, were wiped out by the Enaran authorities. The holocaust had since been hidden from later generations. Upon finding the memories to be genuine, Torres passed them on to a young Enaran and, presumably, started the Enarans on a road to addressing their past.

In the mid 24th century, the Enarans utilized public executions to silence dissidents. The execution post would be placed in town centers and violators were tied to the center post. When activated the post and violator would be bathed in a purple glow. The process took only a few seconds, but caused extreme pain. The device left the corpses with very badly burnt skin.
