Osaarian
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Osaarians are a humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant. The Osaarian people populate an area near the Delphic Expanse. According to the Vulcan database they owned a large merchant marine in the mid-22nd century; this was one of the very few facts about them known to the Vulcans as these two species had only met rarely.
An Osaarian merchant ship was encountered by Enterprise in the Expanse in 2153. The vessel raided Enterprise and then led the starship to its first encounter with a Sphere. Enterprise disabled the Osaarian ship and took its Xindi database for use in the search for the Xindi superweapon. (ENT: "Anomaly")
Data regarding the Osaarians was deleted by the Triannon D'Jamat. (ENT: "Chosen Realm")

[edit] Background
The Osaarians were originally to have been Orion pirates, as part of an ongoing attempt by the writers of Star Trek: Enterprise to litter that series with references to Star Trek: The Original Series. However, the name of the enemy species was later altered during rewrites of the script.
