Khitomer Alliance

The **Khitomer Alliance**, formerly the **Alpha Quadrant Alliance**, was an interstellar alliance based in local space across the borders of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, whose influence reached the Delta and Gamma Quadrants due to the Iconian gateway and Bajoran Wormhole, respectively. The primary goal of the Khitomer Alliance was to defend the galaxy from various conquerors from within and without.

The Alliance was formalized in the Jenolan Accord in early 2410.

By the beginning of 2411, this alliance was renamed Khitomer Alliance, after the Khitomer Accords.

## History

### Origin

The ground work of the Alliance was laid gradually over the course of the year 2409. The Federation and Klingon Empire were embroiled in the Federation-Klingon War of 2405-2410 but emerging threats forced them to agree to cease-fires in various sector blocks to avoid being defeated after weakening one another.

When the Romulan Republic colonized New Romulus, the nascent state was recognized by the Federation and by the Klingons. Despite the state of war between the two powers, the Republic was allied to both of them. In its territory, the Tau Dewa sector block, a cease-fire between Starfleet and the KDF was in effect.

When the Deferi came under attack from Breen Confederacy forces led by Thot Trel, Ambassador Surah sought the help of the Federation, the Klingons, and the newly-founded Romulan Republic. Although the three forces did not cooperate directly with one another, their common efforts led to the defeat of Trel and the reawakening of the Perservers on Lae'nas III. Since the Breen invasion, a cease-fire was in effect in the Orellius sector block. The three powers remained in Deferi space to combat Breen slavers and fight back the Borg Collective's invasion of Defera.

The three powers drove the Orion Syndicate, the Tal Shiar, and the Elachi from Nimbus III.

Admiral D'Vak, son of Alexander Rozhenko, established Task Force Omega, a joint Federation-Klingon task force to combat the Borg, who invaded the Gamma Orionis sector block. Subsequently, the two nations worked grudgingly together and a cease-fire was put in effect in the region. The Romulan Republic participated in the efforts as well. Task Force Omega's efforts expanded to help fight back the Undine invading the Pelia sector and Rear Admiral Tuvok organized a reconnaissance mission to Fluidic Space.

Finally, a diplomatic summit convened at Deep Space 9 to formalize efforts to combat the Borg. The conference was interrupted by a time-displaced Dominion fleet led by First Kar'ukan and the Vorta, Loriss. The Allies worked together to repel the Beta Jem'Hadar and reclaim DS9 with the help of Dominion leadership.

### Formation

The discovery and subsequent exploration of the Solanae Dyson Sphere led to the first formal alliance between the UFP, Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Republic. The Romulans spearheaded the war effort against the Voth. The alliance was governed by Dyson Joint Command. Voth Separatists joined the Allies. The Voth Government called the Allies derogatorily "mammals".

When the Undine launched a massive assault on the Allies and another Iconian gateway opened the wayward Jenolan Dyson Sphere, Fleet Admiral Jorel Quinn and Klingon Chancellor J'mpok agreed to the terms of the Jenolan Accords laid out by Admiral Tuvok enginer the war between the Federation and the Empire.

### Expansion

Delta Alliance Command was established to oversee Allied operations in the Delta Quadrant. Alpha Quadrant Alliance became the name of the new interstellar alliance. The Alliance sought to retrace the journey of the USS *Voyager* and to combat the Borg on their home turf. Subsequently, the Alliance faced the Vaadwaur Supremacy, which sought to conquer the entire Delta Quadrant, and their puppet masters, the Bluegills. The Alliance allied with the Talaxians, Kobali, and the Borg Cooperative, spurring the establishment of the Delta Alliance.

Following the Iconian War of 2410, the Alliance made first contact with the Lukari, a species who had been relatively isolated in their adopted home system for centuries. The Lukari eventually joined the Alliance after defeating a Tholian plot to destroy their sun, and after significant technological exchange programs resulted in the Lukari leaving their home system.

Shortly afterwards, a separate sect of the Lukari's species, the Kentari Union was discovered in the Gon'Cra Nebula. After a tense situation, the Alliance helped the two factions jointly settle the Dranuur System. They newly formed colony fell under attack by the Tzenkethi who were attacking the colony in pursuit of germanium crystals which turned out to be eggs of a species they called the Dranztuli. Eventually the attack was repelled and both the Lukari Concordium and Kentari Union joined the alliance.

Shortly afterwards, it was revealed that the Dranztuli, had in fact been caretakers of the long lost Hurq civilization, who were awakening from hibernation to "devour" the galaxy. During a Hurq attack on Deep Space Nine, the Dominion arrived to assist the Alliance, with a request for aid to deal with the Hurq threat in the Gamma Quadrant. The Federation and the Romulan Republic agreed to assist, while the Klingon Empire largely sent a token volunteer force and remained on the sidelines. Following the Hurq conflict, Odo, now the leader of the Founders agreed to have the Dominion join the Alliance on the condition that the Jem'Hadar be freed of their addiction to Ketracel White.

In early 2411, the Alliance had created their headquarters on the planet Khitomer and had launched its first Alliance Joint Ship, the AFS *Khitomer*, under the command of Captain Kagran of the Klingon Defense Force. At this time, the Alliance was in open conflict with the temporally displaced J'Ula of House Mo'Kai who had arrived in the 25th Century a few years prior. J'Ula used an obscure Klingon law to reinstate her house and hold a conference with the High Council of the Klingon Empire. During which, J'Ula questioned Chancellor J'mpok's claim to the Chancellery, citing that with Martok still living, the Chancellor had stolen the position, and soon the conference fell to violence with several Great Houses joining House Mo'Kai in the fighting, resulting in a new Klingon Civil War. Immediately the civil war spilled into other members of the Alliance's territories, including the destruction of a Federation Starbase and an attack on a Romulan mining base by Elachi forces after J'ula opened a mycelial rift near it. J'Ula's command ship, the IKS *Lukara*, would fire on the planet Qu'Vat, destroying Qu'Vat City with its Mycelial Weapon.

The Alliance Chairman, a Ferasan named Ksenneta, had secretly allied with J'Ula, viewing J'mpok as a problematic leader, hoping that J'Ula's rebellion would quickly dispose of the Chancellor with minimal bloodshed. When this did not happen, Ksenneta allowed J'Ula to seek refuge on Khitomer in the same halls the Alliance were using as their headquarters and had only two years prior been site of the conference that recognized the existence of the Romulan Republic.

When Captain Alejandro Rodriguez and General Martok arrived searching for J'Ula, they found themselves stonewalled by the Alliance politicians. Eventually they found J'Ula, and her right hand, Aakar. During the struggle, Aakar betrayed J'Ula, trapping her with the Alliance members and beamed aboard the *Lukara* and proceeded to give the Mycelial Weapon to Chancellor J'mpok, who fired it at the Alliance HQ on Khitomer. However, before J'mpok fired the weapon, he had sent Captain Ja'Rod of the House of Duras and a legion of his troops to massacre the Alliance members on the planet to ensure no witnesses and the elimination of two of his rivals he had personally sent to the location. Ultimately, Captain Rodriguez, J'Ula, Martok, and a handful of others managed to survive and escape, but not before being declared traitors to the Alliance and going into hiding. The loss of the Alliance Headquarters and many members of its staff including Ambassador Surah of Defera and Rugan Skyl of Cardassia was a heavy blow to the organization.

The revelation of J'mpok's betrayal of the Khitomer Alliance was made public soon afterwards, restoring honor to the names of the USS *Enterprise*, USS *Daystar*, and *Bortasqu'*, but leading to the Shattering of the Klingon Empire.
