Capellan
Primitive humanoids from Capella IV, A world relatively close to Earth and core worlds of the Federation. It's technology is approximate to the Terran dark ages, their society is somewhat more advanced and was decided to contact them despite some idiosyncrasies in 2266. After Federation operatives aided the heir to the Capellan Teer, a long-standing treaty was signed. Capellan society values combat above love and sees no value in medicine, to them the weak should die. Their world is rich in rare mineral compounds such as Topaline. This gives them a significant economic advantage in their integration to the modern society. TOS "Friday's Child" 2-40

Cardassian
The Cardassians are a humanoid race native to Cardassia Prime. They are
easily recognized by the neckline that fans out to connect with the shoulders,
and by the pronounced facial ridges. Two thick vertical ridges recede
back to the crown of the head with an inverted tear-shaped ridge in the
center of the forehead. The area above the eyes are it where the ridge
is thickest, making Cardassian eyes look deep-set. Most Cardassian men
have poker straight hair with jet-black to dark brown shades that are
slicked back as inconspicuously as possible while the women have more
varying hair-types.
Society
Cardassians value family and relation above all else. Orphans are
shunned and left to die while households with several generations
living together are considered an honorable distinguishment. The
Cardassian symboleducation system implemented on Cardassia dictates
that intellectual pursuits begin at the young age of 3 or 4. Every
Cardassian is raised with an appreciation of fine arts and culture,
though the government may not be like-minded in its policies. Educational
attainment is regarded as a major source of social status and a
creative force in Cardassian society, creating the knowledge that
embraces existing social and political structures. The Cardassians
are known for their photographic memories and the ability to resist
a Vulcan mind meld. They pride themselves on resourcefulness and
often say of themselves:
The Depata Council rules the Cardassian Union, and legally administers to the Cardassian Central Command and the Obsidian Order, Cardassia's secret intelligence agency. However, the Central Command and the Obsidian Order function autonomously and do not report to the Depata Council. It is the military Central Command that has the firmest grip on power in Cardassia.

Chalnoth
Lupine humanoids from Chalna. The Chalnoth are anarchists without any government or authority. If any one area of Chalna can be said to be governed by anyone, it is certainly the person with the biggest weapon. Chalnoth technology is limited to the phasers and light spacecraft sold to them by traders. The Chalnoth are vaguely catlike humanoids with large fangs and long fur. TNG "Allegiance" 3-66

Chameloids can assume any humanoid form, but are generally restricted to a basically humanoid shape. Most encounters with Chameloids have occurred in or near Klingon space, hinting to a homeworld in the Empire. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 6

Cheronian
Long lived extinct humanoid race from the planet Cheron. Often confused
with Charion (The outer moon of Sol IX, site of the last battle of the
Romulan War) , Cheron was home to a largely humanoid race that had one
significant difference from other humanoid races. Around half the population
had skin that was black on the right and white on the left. The other
half had the opposite configuration. One side pursued racist policies
and enslavement of the other, eventually the civilization destroyed itself
in racial wars. A small number of survivors of both races escaped from
the planet in their few interstellar craft, they are locked in a perpetual
chase to enforce their racist laws. Cheronian technology was advanced
and had limited interstellar abilities and a primitive cloaking device.
Cheronian physiology had the ability to store and release an electric
energy charge. TOS "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" 3-70
