[Sci-Fi] How many examples of cultural outliers do we get in species with "hats"?

I'll use star trek just because it's the clearest example, but there's a lot of other possible candidates among sci-fi (and fantasy with elves/dwarves/orcs/etc, tbf)

So, the Klingons are proud, boisterous warriors. But like...*all* of them? Are there no pacifistic heretics or wallflower outcasts among the species anywhere? Do we ever see them?

Likewise the non-materialistic Ferengi, or the artistic and passionate Vulcans, or honest Romulans, or people from that mafia planet who find fedoras stupid. They must exist even if they're despised by their fellows? Do we ever see them? Or do other species somehow manage 100% cultural homogeny?

Most of the party members in Mass Effect, really;

* Garrus, from a species with a strong martial reputation and seen as the galaxy's best law enforcers, is a cowboy cop-turned-vigilante.
* Wrex, from a species that has a reputation as warriors who are killing themselves due to not adjusting their behaviour to a sterility plague, is a skilled leader who advocates for peace among his species and is a keen, cunning mind.
* Mordin, from a species that has a reputation for highly unethical wetworks and who has no moral objections for driving another species to near extinction with unethical science, is a highly-ethical doctor trying to undo one of his species' greatest crimes. Sure, he's skill a spy and a master assassin but he would *never* use medicine to do harm.

And going by the Star Trek examples cited, TV Tropes actually has a page called "Klingon Scientists Get No Respect", based around someone who doesn't follow a species' gimmick as being looked down upon. The series actually *doesn't* do this for scientists as the Klingons treat them with respect and admiration due to their "Fight against ignorance". Examples cited from the series on that page include:

* The Deep Space 9 episode "By Inferno's Light", where Worf is forced to do battle against multiple warriors in an arena one after the other, with Sisko having to treat his injuries as best as he can. As Worf keeps winning fights, there's talk about his inspiring great songs due to his battles... with Sisko also mentioned as "the healer who bound the warrior's wounds so he could fight again!"
* The Enterprise episode "The Augments" where a Klingon scientist is actually *proud* of the possibility of being executed by his superior officer... for curing a bioweapon his superior was using dishonorably.
* Worf's grandfather, from Star Trek VI, managed to earn the rank of General... by being a highly respected lawyer.

In fact, *Krogan Scientists* get no respect, as they're so rare that other species think the krogan aren't even smart enough for it. We actually meet three of them in the second game and they have... less than ideal reputations;

* Okeer is a famous warlord and the person who created the genetic clones used by the Blue Suns as target practice, while also creating the genetically-perfect Grunt. His callous treatment of the clones is one reason he's hated but it's also hinted that he's a war criminal whose crimes go beyond the likes of other krogan mercenaries.
* Urdnot Fortack actually hates the work that Wrex asks him to do in the second game which is... developing new kinds of medicine and genetically modifying crops so they can survive on Tuchanka, a highly-irradiated world.
* A mechanic in the Urdnot camp who is treated terribly despite the fact he is the sole person maintaining all their equipment.
