Who are the Ithenites? There is a reason why they might appear in Season 3 of Discovery.

[Unimatrix Q]

Crewman Daniels mentioned them as very important Federation members beside the Klingons and the Xindi in "Azati Prime".

Were they former foes that joined the Federation some time before the 26th century or where they already members during the 23rd or the 24th century?

If they were so noteworthy for Daniels to mention them to Archer, there is a chance that they might finally appear in Season 3...

Can we be sure that those are Ithenites?
Was there a reveal from the producers or writers of the ENT episode?

It says in the background information section of that article. It comes from a deleted scene in the script of 'Terra Prime'.

Star Trek Online also calls them Ithenites.

But that doesn't necessarily mean, it's canon. Afaik only the full episodes and movies are. Apparently the scene wasn't even filmed. So it can go either way

I’m gonna guess we’re never going to see them.

As do the novels.

I mean, we saw another practically one off race in Episode 2. Anything is possible.

Hell, if someone told me five years ago that a future Star Trek series was bringing back the Barzans and making one a main character, I'd have laughed my ass off. Yet here we are.
