A spacefaring humanoid species whose freighter crew, Goff and Plinn, were found by Enterprise NX-01 in 2152 to be holding the Kriosian heir Kaitaama captive in a stasis pod.
The Retellians are a humanoid species with ridged, mottled faces who operate cargo vessels in the region explored by Enterprise NX-01. They appear only in the Enterprise episode Precious Cargo.
In 2152 a Retellian freighter asks Captain Archer for help repairing a failing stasis pod. Its two-man crew, Goff and Plinn, claim the woman inside is a passenger on a long journey home. Trip Tucker discovers that she is Kaitaama, future First Monarch of Krios Prime, and that the Retellians have kidnapped her for ransom.
Goff flees with Tucker and Kaitaama aboard, the pair escape in a pod to a swampy planet, and Archer and T'Pol trick Plinn into revealing where they are heading.
