Xarantine

The Xarantine are a spacefaring species near Klingon space. The Klingons considered them to be "no match" for them.

In 2151, the Klingon vessel IKS Somraw raided a Xarantine outpost and looted Xarantine ale to celebrate the victory. However, unknown to the Klingons, the ale was poisoned. Falling ill and being attacked by Xarantine ships, the commander of the Somraw eventually decided to retreat into a Q'tahL class gas giant's atmosphere. 

Background
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 56, the Xarantine were from the Xarantine star system. This system was located in the Beta Quadrant.
