The Oessa are the only local species in the Daru Zhaiur Sector to develop the technology necessary for interstellar travel. The Oessa control trade and religion in the sector, but do not have an empire in the traditional sense. Any planetary population that accepted the Oessan faith was allowed to control its internal affairs without significant interference. | The Oessa are the only local species in the [[Gold_Fleet_Places_of_Interest#Daru_Zhaiur_Sector|Daru Zhaiur Sector]] to develop the technology necessary for interstellar travel.

In 2412, the Oessa suddenly withdrew from their border worlds and did something unprecedented, by requesting Federation assistance. This resulted in the ''USS Indefatigable'' traveling to Illeshon, one of the border worlds the Oessa had recently abandoned. Some light was shed on the mysteries surrounding this species; it seemed that the Oessaâ's ships were all powered by the lifeforce or will of the deity they worshipped, and that possibly this deity was no longer as powerful as it had once been. | In 2412, the Oessa suddenly withdrew from their border worlds and did something unprecedented, by requesting Federation assistance.

Encompassing over half a million square light years of space, the Romulan Star Empire is a large interstellar empire dominated by a single species. While slightly larger that the Klingon Empire in terms of total volume of space dominated the Romulans control fewer systems because stars are less dense in the region spanned by the Star Empire. Moreover, the Romulan systems tend to be mineral poor. This has led to some differences in technology. For instance the Romulans use a quantum singularity, an artificial miniature black hole, for primary power generation rather than a dilithium mediated matter-antimatter reactor. Each ship of the Star Empire is also correspondingly more costly to build and so virtually all are protected by cloaking devices. | Encompassing over half a million square light years of space, the [[Romulan Star Empire]] is a large interstellar empire dominated by a single species.

There is a long history of conflict between the Star Empire and the Federation. Recently that long history has seen much more congenial relations. The peak of this alliance was seen in 2407 when the Romulans came to the rescue of Starbase Gamma, the Blue Fleet Command Starbase, in their battle with the Dominion. In the following decade, relations have cooled somewhat. But are still better than they have been through most of the preceding three and a half centuries. | There is a long history of conflict between the Star Empire and the Federation.

===[[Tholian Holdfast]]=== | ===[[Tholian Holdfast]]=== | ||
The Tholian Holdfast is an isolationist power located in the Beta Quadrant to trailing of the Federation. The race is a crystaline and based on silicon rather than carbon. Their atmospheric requirements lie far outside those of normal humanoid races and few members of their race have chosen to have much interaction with other races in the quadrant. However, there have been exceptions including a few Star Fleet officers. They have, aside from a few incidents, maintained a long-standing amicable relationship with the Federation. The strife within the Gorn Hegemony has periodically spilled over into Tholian space and has met with strong opposition. | The [[Tholian Holdfast]] is an isolationist power located in the Beta Quadrant to trailing of the Federation.

This series of on-again/off-again fighting has been loosely called "The Tholian/Gorn Conflict" by Federation analysts. Despite facing the superior firepower possessed by the Gorn Navy, the Tholians were able to defend their new conquests, using their superior mobility and superior numbers to basically surround and capture/destroy lumbering Gorn starships which are not known for their maneuverability. There have been at least 7 or 8 distinct "skirmishes" in this conflict to date. | This series of on-again/off-again fighting has been loosely called "The Tholian/Gorn Conflict" by Federation analysts.

Both the Tholian Holdfast and the Gorn Hegemony have since asked for the Federation to mediate the conflict. | Both the [[Tholian Holdfast]] and the [[Gorn Hegemony]] have since asked for the Federation to mediate the conflict. | ||

They have the nasty habit of conquering their neighbors and making them slaves to serve their empire. The Woren also have some left-over Sidhe technology -- which they may or may not fully understand -- that allows them to generate wormholes. They seem to be, at least, able to build a bulky, power-intensive wormhole generator of their own design. They have been known to employ it as a weapon on their largest capitol ships. | They have the nasty habit of conquering their neighbors and making them slaves to serve their empire.
