Drift of Sorrows

The **Drift of Sorrows** was the name given to a loosely defined region of space located in the Alpha Quadrant by several surrounding civilisations.

The Drift was so named due to numerous colonisation attempts by nearby species that failed as well as starships going missing in the region. Nearby species were reluctant to travel within the region and some would warn off others from travelling or colonising within it.

In 2368, the United Federation of Planets started construction of Starbase 890 on the edge of the region. While the Federation did not recognise the designation it did move the planned location for the starbase so it fell outside the Drift to prevent its location from being a detriment to interacting with nearby species.

In 2370, the Federation launched a mission to colonise Rabukurafu II, which was located within the Drift.

Intrepid class

The ***Intrepid*-class** was a type of light explorer that saw service with the Federation Starfleet during the 24th century.

The class entered service in 2370 and was one of the most advanced starships designed by Starfleet. It was launched as the first in a new line of light explorers, explorers that have substantial exploratory capabilities in a small frame.

The class made use of several new innovations. These included bio-neural gel packs giving it substantial computing power and variable warp nacelles. The movement of the nacelles are able to create more efficient warp fields allowing for the ship to reach high warp speeds and maintain these speeds for a sustained period of time.

The class is also designed to enter a planet's atmosphere and land.

The ship's bridge module can separate from the ship and has manoeuvring thrusters allowing the crew of steer the module.

Underneath the saucer is the ship's captain's yacht. The design attached to the *Intrepids* are known as aeroshuttles.

Flagship

A **flagship** is a term referring to vessel commanded by a flag officer (an Admiral or similar). Typically it refers to a vessel that is also in command of other vessels, though it can just refer to a lone vessel under the command of a flag officer.

This use of the term was often applied to the USS *Enterprise*-D and continued with the USS *Enterprise*-E, despite the lack of a flag officer in command of either vessel.

## Known flagships

### Federation Starfleet

* USS *Eaglehawk*, Admiral Victor Harvey
* USS *Enterprise*-D, Federation flagship
* USS *Enterprise*-E, Federation flagship
* USS *Gibraltar*, Admiral Salok

Kaferian

**Kaferians** were a species of insectoids native to the planet Kaferia.

## Physiology

Kaferians as insectoids had a hard exoskeleton with some being a deep olive green in colour. They had a pair of antennae on their heads along with large, black compound eyes and mandibles.

Kaferians had a shorter lifespan than humanoids, such as Humans. Their life away from their home-nests was also restricted by "the phase". The phase could start at any point after they reached twenty-seven years of life and it required them to return to their home-nests or face a premature death.

Kaferian communicated verbally by fast, high pitched clicking. Scent was also very important in expressing emotive components. Universal translators did not take this into account and it resulted in their translated speech to be flat in tone. To compensate for this (and the lack of recognisable Humanoid facial expressions) they would often explicitly state their current emotions when speaking to non-Kaferians.

Kira Nerys

Kira Nerys in Starfleet uniform in 2375.

Kira Nerys during her service to the Bajoran Militia

**Kira Nerys** was an officer in the Bajoran Militia following the Occupation of Bajor. During the occupation she fought in the Bajoran Resistance. She served as Bajoran liaison officer to Starfleet on the Federation-administered station, Deep Space 9. In 2375, she was given command of the station following the disappearance of her predecessor.

## Alternate realities

In an alternate universe where the Dominion won the Dominion War, Kira managed to escape the station after the failure of Operation Return. She became head of a resistance moment against the Dominion and gained notoriety over the years as the last warrior of a long resolved war. She had twice been pronounced killed by the Dominion, only to return to launch a terrorist attack.

Over the years she kept an eye on Jake Sisko out of loyalty to his father.

In 2394, she was rumoured to be in the Tong Beak Nebula, though she was no where near the nebula. After she learnt of Jake's detention by the Dominion and the discovery of the Reckoning Tablet she travelled to Gateway Station. Once there Morn allowed her to secretly meet with Jake in the backroom of his bar. She attempted to get Jake to help her but he refused, not wanting to complicate his life, she warned him that *"(he) could not avoid his destiny"*.

Kira met with Jake again to convince him to help after Bajor started to suffer nature disasters that were attributed to the tablet been removed from Bajor. Together with Kai Winn they convinced him to try to get Weyoun to return the tablet. Kira also handed Jake a transponder to tag the tablet with in case he could not convince Weyoun allowing for Kira's people to steal it.

While waiting for Jake to fulfil his role Kira went to the station's temple to pray to the Prophets and was confronted by Skrain Dukat, who blamed her for the death of his daughter and had spent the last twenty years pursuing her. The two fought with Kira coming out triumphant. Before Kira could finish Dukat once and for all he was possessed by the Kosst Amojan, healed and revived. Using his new power Dukat overpowered Kira and straggled the life out of her.

Kira was meant to serve as the Prophet's instrument for the Reckoning and when her deceased body was found by the Prophet it was unsure what to do. It was unable to heal or revive her due to the Kosst Amojan "denying" the Prophet her use.

Genlon's orders were simply to cause as much damage as possible to hamper the supply of dilithium from the important world. Gelnon succeeded in his mission and bombarded the planet's surface before retreating his forces back to Dominion territory.

## Alternate realities

In an alternate universe where the Dominion won the Dominion War, Gelnon was assigned as the Dominion's representative to Bajor and was stationed on Gateway Station.

Gelnon joined Weyoun to confront a Kosst Amojan possessed Dukat on the station's promenade. Gelnon was killed when Weyoun pushed him into the path of an telekinetic attack by Dukat.

Several days after that incident a new clone of Gelnon was active and took part in the investigation on Bajor around the disappearance of the Bajorans and that of the Bajoran wormhole.

Klingon

**Klingons** are a humanoid species from the planet Qo'noS. They are known primarily as a race of warriors and soldiers and for their honour-based culture. By the 24th century, they were a major power in their region.

## History

One of the most important events in Klingon history was the rise of Kahless the Unforgettable during the 9th century. Kahless slew Molor, a tyrant that ruled over the Klingons, and became emperor forming the Klingon Empire. As the emperor he introduced a set of codes of honour that would shape the Klingons for centuries to come.

During the 14th century the Klingons were conquered by the Hur'q. The Klingons were eventually freed of the Hur'q, who would all but disappear. One of the artefact pillaged by the Hur'q was the Sword of Kahless, a legendary weapon that was considered to be the first bat'leth.

In 2154, while experimenting with Human augment DNA the Klingons accidentally created a plague that resulted in their facial ridges dissolving, an increase in strength and intelligence of Klingons and then caused death. With the assistance of Phlox the Klingons were able to halt the plague after it dissolved the ridges leaving millions of Klingons with a far more human appearance that was also passed on to their offspring. The event was considered embarrassing by the Klingons and they did not discuss the event with non-Klingons.

During the 23rd century, the Klingons and Federation clashed but by the end of the century the two powers entered a prolonged period of peace.

By the late-24th century, Klingons had begun to become displeased with their relatively peaceful state and support for a return to the "old ways" grew. This sentiment eventually helped spur on the Klingon-Cardassian War.

## Klingon religion

According to Klingon mythology the Klingons rose up and killed the gods that created them.

They believed in an afterlife. Honourable warriors, including non-Klingons, after they died would go to Sto-Vo-Kor were they would be with Kahless and fight an eternal battle. Alternatively, the dishonoured would go via the Barge of the Dead to Gre'thor.

Kahless was revered as an almost religious figure and many attempted to emulate him. It was believed he would one day return to lead the Empire. A group of monks fulfilled this prophesy when they created a clone of Kahless. However, it was exposed as a clone and instead of leading the empire the clone was given a purely ceremonial role as the emperor and actually wielded no power at all.

Founder

**Founders** was the name taken by a group of Changelings that created the Dominion. To many in the Gamma Quadrant they were a mythical group.

The Changelings were once a peaceful race but what they saw as consistent persecution by solids led them to retreat to isolation and distrust and fear solids. In order to protect themselves from a seemingly hostile galaxy they founded the Dominion with a mandate to "bring order to the galaxy" and control the solids, thereby removing them as a threat to the Founders.

To aid in their goals the Dominion genetically engineered two subservatent species to serve them: the Vorta and the Jem'Hadar. The Vorta would act as administers, scientists, diplomats and military commanders while the Jem'Hadar were engineered as soldiers. Both races were created with the belief that the Founders were gods as a method of control.

By the late-24th century, many members of the Dominion considered the Founders to by a mythical species due to the Founders preference for isolation and letting the Vorta run the Dominion. The bulk of the Founders lived on a rogue planet in the Omarion Nebula in what was referred to as the Great Link, which was a vast sea of Founders in their nature state.

In 2371, the Federation made contact with the Founders after sending the USS *Defiant* to find them and discovered the true nature of the Founders as shapeshifters. At least from this point and possible before several Founders entered the covertly entered the Alpha Quadrant.

Later that year the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar attempted to wipe out the Founders with a surprise attack against their homeworld. However, a Founder had infiltrated the group allowing the Founders to prepare. They evacuated their homeworld and moved to a new planet and sprung their own trap, wiping out the enemy fleet.

In the Alpha Quadrant Founders replaced people in various governments and using these positions disrupted the stability of the quadrant in a systematic campaign to weaken the quadrant.

With the risk of Founder infiltration in the Federation, Section 31 created a morphogenic virus to wipe out the Founders. They infected Odo in 2372 and using him to spread the disease through linking with other Founders. By 2375, nearly all the Founders were infected and dying of the disease. A cure was found for the disease, which Odo shared with the Great Link as part of an agreement with the Female Changeling to end the Dominion War.

Gravimetric distortion

**Gravimetric distortions** are spatial anomalies that consisted of an abnormal concentration of graviton particles.

*In an alternate universe where the Dominion won the Dominion War, during the Reckoning the Bajoran wormhole opened and created major gravimetric distortions near its entrance. These forces drew Gateway Station towards the wormhole, tearing the station apart as it did.*

Grendoq class

The ***Grendoq*-class** was a type of attack fighter fielded by the Klingon Empire during the 24th century. It was also known as the ***Dagger*-class** by the Federation Starfleet.

The *Grendoq* had a similar design to the larger *B'rel*-class bird-of-prey. It had a rounded forward section that contained the cockpit, which joined directly to the aft section containing the impulse engine. It had a pair of downward sloping wings that had a large disruptor cannon mounted just before the tip of each wing.

The *Grendoq* lacked any heavy weapons, such as full sized photon torpedoes. This meant they posed a limited threat to larger starships.

## Background information

* The *Grendoq*-class comes from the *SRMV3: Ships of the Klingon Empire* and is described as appearing to be a one man sized version of the bird-of-prey. The *Dagger*-class is the standard Klingon fighter from *Star Trek: Armada 3*, which also looks like a small BOP. The connection that they are the same class is made purely in *Star Trek: The Farthest Star*.

First contact

**First contact** is the first official encounter between two races or governments. This does not necessarily mean that it is the first time two species have met.

The Federation prohibits contact with civilisations that have not reached a certain level of advancement, primarily the development of interstellar travel. This was covered by the Prime Directive and the Federation Charter.

## Dominion-Iorath

In 2369, the Dominion dispatched the Vorta Jasis to Iorath marking first contact between the Dominion and the Iorathites.

## Federation-Dominion

The official first known contact between the Federation and the Dominion was in 2370. The Dominion revealed itself to the Federation when it captured Commander Benjamin Sisko and his companions in the Gamma Quadrant. They also entered the Alpha Quadrant and demanded that the Federation cease entering the Gamma Quadrant.

There was at least one prior contact between the Federation and the Dominion. The USS *Proxima* made contact with the Dominion in 2369 while exploring the Gamma Quadrant. However, as the ship was captured by the Dominion the Federation were not aware of this and was still unsure of the fate of the *Proxima* in 2373.

## Federation-Iorath

The USS *Proxima* made first contact with the Iorathites in 2369. However, due to the subsequent capture of the *Proxima* by the Dominion it is possible that the Federation was not aware of this event.
