A Pakled is a member of a fictional alien race in the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Pakleds are short, stocky humanoids with large bushy eyebrows. They are fairly simple-minded, but they keep pace with the capabilities of other spacefaring races by stealing technology (such as shields of Romulan design) from ships they encounter.
Pakleds tend to speak in a very simple and childlike way (for example: "We look for things. Things that make us go. Can you make us go?"). This can fool a Good Samaritan into thinking the Pakleds are harmless and helpless; the Pakleds wait until their benefactors' guard is down, then use a show of force to take what they need.
The Pakleds were first seen in the TNG episode "Samaritan Snare."
Several Pakleds appeared as background characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
In a deleted scene from Star Trek: Nemesis, B-4 commented that some Pakleds had rescued him from Omicron Theta and made him work for them for a few months before they dumped him, finding that he was useless even by their low standards.
