N - Nausicaans are a strong and typically violent race. The name appears to be an allusion to Nausicaa from Homer's Odyssey, a woman whose name means "burner of ships."
In the 22nd century, before the founding of the Federation, Nausicaan pirates were a significant threat to human freighters, and the early Starfleet spent much of its time on watch for Nausicaan pirates. This included a raid on the ECS Fortunate, a civilian cargo freighter, in 2151. This was detailed in the Enterprise episode "Fortunate Son".
In 2327, a young ensign Jean-Luc Picard was stabbed in the back by a gang of three Nausicaans in a bar fight at the Bonestell Recreation Facility at Starbase Earhart, requiring the replacement of his heart with an artificial one. This event was depicted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Tapestry," in Season 6.
