Diplomatic Dossier

## Introduction

Throughout 2410 and into 2411 the United Federation of Planets and its allies saw a period of numerous conflicts. In late 2411 to early 2412 these conflicts came to an end and we found ourselves in a period of relative stability; aside from localised incidents here and there, the Federation was no longer in any form of large-scale war.

Despite this it still remains prudent for all Federation dignitaries and Starfleet Diplomatic Corps officers to be aware of the contents of this document. Command officers must be aware of those we have alliances with and those we can trust. In these times of peace we must still be prepared to assist those in need and rely on our allies when required.

As we continue our exploration we still, as always, seek to find more allies among the stars. Our extended aim will still be to integrate these new worlds into the United Federation of Planets while striving to let them uphold their political and cultural independence, but we must respect the wishes of these worlds and understand that sometimes, them being extended allies can be the support that one another needs.

This document details information on our allies, those who are neutral with us, those who are hostile towards us, and those we are engaged in open war with. This document has been read, agreed upon, and signed by all member states of the United Federation of Planets.

## Allies: The Khitomer Alliance

### Background

In 2410 the Khitomer Alliance was officially established as a coalition between the major factions of the four quadrants. The Alliance now comprises a number of member states and is headed by Chairman Ksenneta of Khitomer who upholds a strong relationship with our own President, Aennik Okeg. The Alliance is sworn to provide mutual defence and humanitarianism to one another and our most recent endeavours include the formation of the Allied Fleet Service in late 2410. The member states, excluding ourselves as the United Federation of Planets, are as follows.

### Cardassian Union

* Capital: Cardassia Prime
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Castellan Natima Lang
* Government: Detapa Council
* Background: The Cardassian Union remains the official governing body of the Cardassian people, having come into effect in 2389. The United Federation of Planets recognises only the Detapa Council as the true governing body of the Cardassian people and continues to oppose the efforts of the True Way movement who seek to restore their own governance on Cardassia Prime.

### Deferi

* Capital: Defera
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Elnaj
* Government: Deferi
* Background: The Deferi are known for their ideal of not pursuing affiliations with major powers but in order to best secure the defence of their people they opted to join us in the Khitomer Alliance. As members, we are bound to assist the Deferi when required and they have given their word that they would do the same for other UFP members.

### Delta Alliance

* Captail: None
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: Chairman Six
* Government: Alliance High Command
* Background: While the term ‘Delta Alliance’ was once used to describe the early Khitomer Alliance, it is now used to refer to our extended allies in the Delta Quadrant. Made up of the Benthan, Borg Cooperative, Hazari, Hierarchy, Hirogen, Kazon-Ogla, Kobali, Krenin Coalition, Ocampa, Octanti (sympathisers as opposed to confirmed members), Talaxian, and Turei; the Delta Alliance was founded to respond to the conquest of the Delta Quadrant by the Vaadwaur Supremacy. Starfleet has continued to assist since its founding.

### Dominion

* Capital: Empersa
* Location: Gamma Quadrant
* Head of State: The Founders
* Government: The Great Link
* Background: The Dominion shares a changeable history in relation to the Federation, having gone from war to eventual alliance. The Dominion has been a part of the Khitomer Alliance since its founding and have recently taken part in the founding of the Allied Fleet Service, giving their officers the opportunity to serve alongside our own. While some people are still hesitant of the Dominion, the war was now 37 years ago and the United Federation of Planets has acknowledged that times - and factions - can change.

### Ferengi Alliance

* Capital: Ferenginar
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Grand Nagus Rom
* Government: Ferengi Alliance
* Background: While efforts have been made to integrate the Ferengi Alliance into the United Federation of Planets, more hard-line traditional members of their society protested against the union and thus it was abandoned. The Ferengi remain firm allies with ourselves through the Khitomer Accords, however, and more members make efforts to individually join us every day. They are generally not warfaring but have stated they will assist in the procurement of materials for the war effort.

### Kentari Union

* Capital: New Kentar
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Prime Minister Tuulemaan
* Government: Kentari Union
* Background: The Kentari have - unfortunately - always been rather xenophobic to the other species that they have encountered. While they have joined the Khitomer Alliance under the basis of mutual defence, numerous traditionalists view the Alliance and its members as “hostile invaders.” Tension still remains between the Kentari and Lukari but thanks to the UFP’s mediation, they remain on at least neutral terms.

### Klingon Empire

* Capital: Qo’noS
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: Chancellor L’Rell
* Government: High Council
* Background: The Klingon Empire has undergone vast changes in recent years including the integration of the Gorn Hegemony, Orion Syndicate, and Nausicaan homeworld; temporal occurrences, and the overhaul of their High Council. The current leadership of the Empire is known to be controversial and there has been some protest, although for the most part things upon Qo’noS remain stable. Since the conclusion of the latest Klingon-Federation War we have remained on good terms with the Empire as mutual members of the Khitomer Alliance and both sides strive to repair previous damages caused.

### Liberated Elachi

* Capital: Unknown
* Location: Mycelial Network
* Head of State: Tarsev
* Government: Unknown
* Background: The Elachi were once fierce enemies of the Federation, having been involved in assisting both the Iconians and the Romulan Star Empire. In 2411, rifts into the mycelial network were created in order to cause corruption; the Elachi then became aggressive towards all factions. In the time since, the mycelial network was repaired and the Elachi liberated. Many Elachi returned to the network to continue the lives they used to live before being involved in such conflict, but some, under Ambassador Tarsev, have joined the Khitomer Alliance.

### The Lukari Concordium

* Capital: Lukari Prime
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Albin’aar
* Government: Planetary Council
* Background: The Lukari have become far more exploratory in their years since becoming a member of the Alliance. A peaceful people, they are unwilling to directly wage war upon any enemy of the Federation or Khitomer Alliance until absolutely required, but have promised to send assistance in the form of aid, materials, and technology.

### Romulan Republic

* Capital: Mol’Rihan
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: Proconsul D’Tan
* Government: Romulan Republic
* Background: Following the destruction of Romulus in the year 2387, mass changes to the structure of Romulan society were undertaken. The Romulan Republic arose out of dissident movement, and following the upheaval of the Star Empire/Free State, the Romulan Republic was later legitimised by the United Federation of Planets and other members of the Khitomer Alliance. The faction also settled on New Romulus in 2409.  With the United Federation of Planets having withdrawn from the aid efforts at Romulus following the attack on Mars, our goal has always been to prove ourselves as allies of the new Romulan way of life.

## Neutral

### Hur'Q

* Capital: Havas-Kul
* Location: Gamma Quadrant
* Head of State: Unknown
* Government: Unknown
* Background: The Hur’q - an ancient insectoid species believed to be extinct until recently - emerged in 2409 following hibernation. This species has a complex history of the Dominion attempting to turn them into a soldier caste, resulting in them becoming an uncontrollable species solely focussed on consuming life. Their return in 2409 saw them launch an attack against the Dominion - and when different factions came together to combat the Hur’q, work was done to restore their cognitive function and end the conflict. The Khitomer Alliance has been providing relief efforts to help them rebuild and aside from splinter groups who did not have their cognitive function restored, the Hur’q have been neutral towards the Alliance since.

### Reman Resistance

* Capital: The Vault, Haakona System
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: Captain Obisek
* Government: Reman Republic
* Background: The original intention of the Reman Republic was to fight for their independence from the Romulan Star Empire who had enslaved their species since ch’Rihan and ch’Havran were first settled. For the duration of the formation of the Romulan Free State they remained active in their defence against the remnants of the Star Empire, and when the Romulan Republic was formed and settled on Mol’Rihan they acknowledged this new government and have been allies with them since. Intelligence reports suggest there are possible splinter cells of the Resistance who have unknown motives, but no hostilities have been displayed towards the Federation.

### Tzenkethi Coalition

* Capital: Tzenketh
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: The Autarch
* Government: Tzenkethi Coalition
* Background: In the early 25th century the United Federation of Planets were continually engaged in warfare against the Tzenkethi due to their efforts against other worlds. It was later discovered that the Coalition had effectively been manipulated by The Founders of the Dominion. Following this revelation, the Coalition’s defeat in battle, and the Dominion’s alliance with the Federation, the faction has rescinded any hostilities towards the United Federation of Planets.

## Hostile

### Automated Personnel Unit

* Capital: Cravic / Pralor
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: Unknown
* Government: Unknown
* Background: The Automated Personnel Units are androids constructed in the Delta Quadrant by the inhabitants of Cravic and Pralor, respectively, designed to fight their war. When the war ended and the APUs were set to be disabled they then destroyed their creators and resumed the previous war. The two powers are mostly engaged in hostilities towards one another but have been known to fire upon the likes of Starfleet ships should we interfere with either side.

### Breen Confederacy

* Capital: Breen
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Domo Pran
* Government: Breen Confederacy
* Background: The Breen have always remained hostile towards the majority of species within the Alpha Quadrant. A brief settlement during the Dominion War saw them as allies of the Dominion but the conclusion of the war saw them withdraw from this agreement. The Breen Confederacy has upheld their isolationist policy and at present does not have any known alliances, instead still enacting hostilities towards other races that they encounter.

### Devidian

* Capital: Devidia II
* Location: Alpha Quadrant, Out of Phase
* Head of State: Unknown
* Government: Devidian
* Background: The Devidians are a group of life forms that do not often present themselves - nor do we often stumble upon them, considering how they exist ‘out of phase’ with our universe. They have been known to investigate sources of triolic radiation, conduct reckless time travel which risks altering the timeline, and satiate their hunger for neural energy. If they are encountered and attempt to attack then United Federation of Planets members are encouraged to act in self-defence.

### Iconian Whole

* Capital: Unknown
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: M’Tara
* Government: Iconian Conclave
* Background: The Iconians are an ancient species dating back over 200,000 years ago. The species utilises other beings such as the Elachi, Heralds, Bluegill parasites, and Solanae (the people who created the Dyson Spheres which we now study.) In the late 2360s they attempted to utilise the Bluegill to infiltrate Starfleet Command but this effort was thwarted. In 2387 the Iconians directly manipulated Romulan officers to cause the Hobus Supernova, destroying both Romulus and Remus. In 2409 an Iconian War against the United Federation of Planets broke out - following their defeat in 2410 the faction retreated and has remained unheard from since. All interactions with the Iconians have been negative and we believe that they will remain hostile towards Alliance members.

### Kazon Collective

* Capital: None
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: The First Majes
* Government: Kazon
* Background: The Kazon are a group that suffer from continued division over different ideals and policies, each sect also owning different natural resources that the other groups fight over. The Kazon have no centralised representation but the ‘Kazon Collective’ refers to them as a whole, other than the Kazon-Ogla who have joined the Delta Alliance. For the most part the Kazon are hostile towards Khitomer Alliance members and are known to prey on small vessels.

### Malon

* Capital: Malon Prime
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: Unknown
* Government: Malon
* Background: The Malon are a people we do not often encounter but they are ones who do not align with our ideals of environmentality and sustainability. In 2375 upon first-contact with the USS Voyager they were offered waste-reclamation technology that would solve their issue of emitting hazardous radiation but they refused it due to it making up a large section of their industry. Ever since, they have acted hostile towards us but have preferred to steer away from an open fight, knowing that the Federation would not fire upon them first.

### Son'a

* Capital: None; Nomadic
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: Tar’vash
* Government: Son’a Command
* Background: It is believed that the Son’a can still be found within the Briar Patch but their precise location is unknown. They have not been welcome to any attempts at peace from the Federation, remaining antagonistic since their siding with the Dominion during the Dominion War. It is believed that they are still allied with the Dominion but this has not been confirmed. The Son’a are highly militant and possess powerful technology - they do not hesitate to fire first upon Federation vessels that stray into their path.

### Tholian Assembly

* Capital: Tholia
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: The High Magistrates
* Government: Tholian Assembly
* Background: Since first-contact the Tholians have remained antagonistic towards us in space-faring; known for their xenophobia, they stray away from alliances and opt for battle instead. Since 2363 they have had ambassadors of their own positioned upon Earth but it has not helped to ease the conflict; all attempts at coming up with a mutual treaty with them have failed. They remain hostile to the majority of ships that they encounter.

### Undine

* Capital: Unknown
* Location: Fluidic Space
* Head of State: Unknown
* Government: Unknown
* Background: The Undine are a species which have always held hostility towards the Federation - represented by Starfleet - since encountering them. They are a highly difficult species to deal with considering their advanced technology and ability to shapeshift; they have been known to utilise this to infiltrate other factions in the past. In 2410 conflict between the Undine and what would later become the Khitomer Alliance broke out, but was resolved upon the revelation that they were being manipulated by the Iconians. The Undine then withdrew to Fluidic Space, but are known to still be hostile towards the Federation and its allies.

### Vaadwaur Supremacy

* Capital: Vaadwaur Prime
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: Supreme Leader Eldex
* Government: Dictatorship
* Background: The Vaadwaur have remained hostile towards the Federation despite all attempts at diplomacy. In 2410 their rise to power in the Delta Quadrant directly resulted in the formation of the Delta Alliance of which the Federation remains a part. They continue to reclaim the Underspace - a series of subspace tunnels spanning parts of the Delta Quadrant - from the Turei in order to aid in their expansion. Efforts against their conquest are still ongoing and Starfleet continues to aid the Delta Alliance’s members in the fight against the Vaadwaur’s oppression, with the rest of the Khitomer Alliance also striving to provide aid.

## Open War

### Borg Collective

* Capital: Unicomplex
* Location: Unknown
* Head of State: The Borg Queen
* Government: Borg Collective
* Background: The United Federation of Planets remains in continuous open warfare against the efforts made by the Borg Collective. Their government cannot particularly be referred to as such, considering how they are ruled by their Borg Queen. Their main goal continues to be the assimilation of species to create their ‘perfect being.’ Any and all distress calls made from a vessel or planet under attack from the Borg will be responded to with urgency by Starfleet. It is a matter of priority that we halt the Borg’s continuing advance across the quadrants and protect new and vulnerable allies from assimilation.

### Fek'Ihri Hoard

* Capital: Gre’thor
* Location: Gre’thor
* Head of State: Fek’Ihr / Molor
* Government: Unknown
* Background: In Klingon mythology the Fek’Ihri are known to be the souls of soldiers who swore fealty to Molor, a tyrant who once ruled Qo’noS. Their true scientific origin begins 2000 years ago during the Dominion’s investigation of the quadrants: upon finding the Klingons they decided to use their genetic material to breed their new soldier caste. There is little information of the location of Gre’thor; we do not know it’s location in proximity to Qo’noS, the Beta Quadrant, or our own universe. What we do know is that the Fek’Ihri continue to wage war against the Klingon Empire for no reason other than revenge, and as part of the Khitomer Alliance we must do our part to help defend the Empire from this threat.

### Romulan Star Empire

* Capital: Rator III
* Location: Beta Quadrant
* Head of State: Empress Sela (Imprisoned)
* Government: Romulan Star Empire
* Background: The Romulan Star Empire is a group that seemingly fell following the Hobus Supernova and the destruction of Romulus and Remus. Being replaced firstly by the Free State and then the Romulan Republic, it seemed as if the original structure of society had fallen. In the years after the Hobus Supernova it became known that Star Empire loyalists and Tal Shiar agents had begun to operate upon Rator III in an attempt to rally the Romulan and Reman people to their side once again. Since the founding of Mol’Rihan in 2409 the Star Empire has sought to claim the planet as their own, continually staging attacks against those who are not loyal and do not submit - although their forces have almost entirely been exterminated.

### Temporal Liberation Front

* Capital: None
* Location: Multiple Quadrants, Prime and Mirror Universes
* Head of State: The Emperor
* Government: Unknown
* Background: Encompassing rogue elements of the Krenim, the Na’kuhl, Terran Empire, Tuterian, and Vorgon, the Temporal Liberation Front is an alliance dedicated to using time travel to increase power and restore status. The Terran Empire is perhaps the most notorious threat of the group as they continually launch attacks into our own universe in an attempt to enslave citizens and steal resources. It has been suggested that it is the Terran Emperor - who has not been witnessed by any member of our own universe - who is pulling the strings in the Liberation Front. We are not to attempt to engage them in any time that is not our own or follow them to a different time-period as we do not want to risk changes to the timeline.

### True Way

* Capital: Devos II
* Location: Alpha Quadrant
* Head of State: Gul Madred
* Government: True Way
* Background: The True Way is a movement beginning in 2372 following the Cardassian dissident movement and the changes in government and societal reform. The True Way are Cardassians who strive to return to the old military regime. They are seen as terrorists by the Cardassian Union, utilising old military assets from the Dominion War. They are known to be opportunistic and have frequently tried to form alliances - even briefly - with other factions in order to further their efforts.

### Voth

* Capital: Unknown
* Location: Delta Quadrant
* Head of State: Minister Ilsthen
* Government: Ministry of Elders
* Background: The Voth - an ancient civilisation whose origins lie on the UFP’s planet of Earth - are a territorial and militaristic species. They are highly untrusting of other species and uphold their own ‘Doctrine’ at all times - questioning the contents of this is heresy. In 2409 the Voth discovered the Solanae Dyson Sphere and attempted to claim it as their own, and counter-resistance was offered by the Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Republic. Conflict has continued ever since and while the Dyson Sphere remains in the possession of the Khitomer Alliance, the Voth continue to fight for ownership of it.
