Descendants of Earth colonists who rejected technology for a simple farming life on Bringloid V, rescued by the Enterprise-D and later settled alongside the cloned Mariposans.
The Bringloidi are humans descended from half of the colonists carried by the SS Mariposa in the twenty-second century. Followers of a back-to-the-land philosophy, they settled Bringloid V without advanced equipment and kept an old Irish country way of life, with livestock, spinning wheels and home-made spirits.
They appear in the Next Generation episode Up the Long Ladder. When solar flares threaten their world, the Enterprise evacuates a couple of hundred of them, animals and all, into a cargo bay, where their leader Danilo Odell tries to find a husband for his sharp-tongued daughter Brenna.
The other half of the Mariposa colonists turn out to be a dying society of clones. Picard and Pulaski propose that the two groups merge, which gives the Bringloidi a new home and the Mariposans a fresh supply of genes.
