Illyrian
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The Illyrians are a humanoid species native to the planet Illyria in the Delphic Expanse.
The Earth Starfleet vessel Enterprise was assisted in its repair efforts by an Illyrian starship that had been disabled by an anomaly field in 2154. Enterprise helped the Illyrians in turn. They were unwilling, however, to part with their warp coil because not having it would mean a three-year journey home. Jonathan Archer and the MACOs boarded the Illyrian craft and stole their warp coil. (ENT: "Damage")

The name may be based on the Illyrs, an ethnic group that inhabitied what is currently known as Serbia and Croatia, a region once denoted Illyria. The region known as Illyria was the setting for William Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night".
