DATA-ARCHIVE: REGION_52
Region of Space
Sector 001
Star Trek : Freedom has been relocated to Mars and we play our game in Sector 001 but our fleet is spread out, looking to restart the Federation. We've come across old friends who want to rejoin and others who aren't so sure!
Our region of space contains Starfleet HQ, Mars and its facilities and the interesting links between the civilian authorities and Starfleet. This should open up plenty of scope for exploration with the fleet, rediscovering the Federation.
Core Planets
As we rediscover our new universe, several planets have been discovered again, here is what we know so far!
| Species | Posture to the Federation | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Humans (Earth) | Founding Member | Earth is the homeworld of humanity and the capital of the United Federation of Planets. Starfleet Headquarters is located in San Francisco, and the Federation Council meets in Paris. Earth remains the heart of Federation operations, with Mars Defense Perimeter serving as a key operational center for the 52nd Fleet. |
| Argelius | Still members | Perhaps the only planet where psychic powers are used in evidence. Illuminar currently in the Argelius system. Relationship good. |
| Trill | Left, wants to return | Left, about to rejoin, Starbase Freedom helped bring them back |
| Klingon | Isolationist | Expanding in old romulan space |
| Vulcan | Still members | The Vulcan Defense Fleet is in process of merging with Starfleet once again having exchanged officers and repurposed some exploratory long range vessels and provided them to the fleet. Trade and relations are growing. The neural regeneration facilities and general medical are once again open to fleet use. |
| Andorians | Left | Relations between the Federation and Andorian Planetary Alliance (6 worlds) are thawing. Some trade routed indirectly to the Federation through Starbase Freedom. Unlikely to rejoin the Federation in the near future. Long term is unclear but an exchange of ambassadors is possible. (If we are following Star Trek main continuity, at some point the Andorians will openly seek other alliances {Orion Syndicate ST: Disco}) |
| Tellarites | Still Member | (not sure, but I remember reading they still were back over a year ago-Will) (Indeed. They were diametrically opposed to the Andorian withdrawal but then again when have the Andorians and Tellarites ever seen eye to eye? - Charles) |
| Cardassians | New Members. < 10 yrs | Only due to recent changes in government (not run by military and more civilian oversight of military and obsidian order) large resource boon gained from Cardassian space boost for Federation economy. |
| Tholians | Neutral. Trade relationship. | May be open to a cultural exchange under the right circumstances. (Todd thinking of SPC) |
| Betazoids | Still member | Betazed remains a Federation member world. The Betazoids are known for their telepathic abilities, though not all Betazoids develop full telepathy. The planet maintains good relations with the Federation despite the challenges of recent years. |
| Benzar | Still member | Benzar is a Federation member world. The Benzites are known for their distinctive appearance and their methodical, by-the-book approach to operations. Many Benzites serve in Starfleet. |
| Breen | Hostile? | Breen pirates did come close to Mars |
| Bajor | Still member | Relationship strained on civilian side. Religious hard liners lost power with the disappearance of Dean Vedek Horavei but are still a force. Kai Hetel Krevi is an ally and sent aid to help the Sharlayans. (Some of the population had a hard time accepting Cardassia joining as well, this attitude partially fed the Prophet's Fire movement recently engaged by Exeter crew - Todd) |
| Bolians | Still member | Exeter visited them. Relationship ok. |
| Coridan | Still member | Coridan is a Federation member world located near the border with the former Romulan Star Empire. The Coridanites were one of the first species to join the Federation after its founding. Coridan Prime is rich in dilithium deposits, making it strategically important. |
| Denobulans | Still member | Denobula is a Federation member world located relatively close to Earth. The Denobulans are known for their friendly, gregarious nature and their expertise in medicine. Denobulan doctors have made significant contributions to Federation medical science. |
| Rigelians | Still member | The Rigel system, located near Earth, contains multiple inhabited worlds. Rigelians have been Federation members for many years. The Rigel system is known for its commercial activity and serves as an important trading hub in the region. |
| Orions | Neutral/Hostile | The Orion system is located relatively close to Earth. While individual Orions may operate independently, the Orion Syndicate remains a criminal organization that operates throughout the Alpha Quadrant. The Syndicate engages in piracy, smuggling, and other illegal activities. Some Orions have joined Starfleet as individuals, but the Syndicate itself remains outside Federation control. |
| Romulan | The Republic wishes to join. | Covering only a fraction of space that was formerly the empire. They wish to join the federation. They are the only government faction with current interest in joining. The republic represents 11 planets. They have been in contact with Trill's government and have seen how much Trill has benefited from their relationship with the federation. Breakthroughs on treatments for Tuvan syndrome by the Williams-Verin medical institute on Trill have been used to treat a large scale of cases throughout the population of the republic. The Romulan Republic is headed by supporters of the reunificationist movement, hoping to reconnect with their vulcan cousins. Other Romulan republic has no conflicts to report on with klingon empire at the moment, but if the Klingons cross into one of their star systems with aggressive intentions they will be met with unrelenting force by the 3rd Republic fleet in defense of the citizens who live there. The Republic severely hopes that this doesn't happen. In late 2445 the Romulan Republic and The United Federation of Planets launched an officer exchange program which not only aims to cross train personnel but also share technology. |
| Caitians | Still member | Not 100% sure. (Caitains are an interesting race being hermaphrodites and we did have one player on Exeter playing one. If we are going off of a PC race needing to be from a Federation world this would be one. Al has also introduced a Magillan in game, an old SPC named Bohb. The Magillans however appear to be standoffish and not open to relations much as one of the characters on Disco. The alien who was Captain for a while- Charles) (I remember Bohb. Al did a ton of work for Magillans making them into a proud and interesting race - Todd) |
| Risa | Still a member | Exeter just vacationed there |
| Ferengi | Neutral, peace is good for business | While individual Ferengi have joined Starfleet, The FTC has remained politically neutral, as they would not deprive themselves from the opportunity to sell to the Federation's enemies. |
| Deltans | Still member | Delta IV is a Federation member world. Deltans are known for their peaceful nature and their commitment to celibacy when serving in Starfleet. They have contributed significantly to Federation exploration and diplomacy. |
| Saurians | Still member | Sauria is a Federation member world. The Saurians are a reptilian species known for their expertise in various fields. Many Saurians serve in Starfleet. |
