NOTE: This is an ongoing project and I will be adding more content weekly. When I am done I will remove this text. In addition, I am jumping around on this project,. putting in entries when they inspire me. This series of webpages will cover the Romulan-Chodak War as well as a focus on Starfleet vessels from the time of James Kirks death (2271 AD) to Captain Picards' taking control of the USS Enterprise-D (2364 AD).
THE CHODAK
The Chodak are an ancient alien race that has inhabited part of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy for over a million years. They are powerful, arrogant, and virtually unstoppable but they have one flaw....the Unity Device.
The species were noted as being an ancient highly advanced civilization that thrived roughly 1,000,000 to 900,000 years before the founding of the United Federation of Planets.
Approximately four thousand years ago, their mighty empire finally collapsed when a group of rebels sabotaged their greatest technological achievement - the Unity Device. This massive machine had nearly unlimited energy and was used to maintain the Chodak Empire's power. However, the rebels confiscated the immense machine and took it to the future where they believed it would be safer from their government, who they believed were unable to control the device or understand its effects on the universe.
After these chains of events, the Chodak declined as a civilization and were eventually considered extinct in later centuries; the Vedalans may have had a part in their ultimate demise. A majority of their territory was claimed by the Romulan Star Empire but the Chodak eventually made a re-emergence in 2311 (searching for the Unity Device) though many were unaware of their activity in the galaxy. They began an all-out war with the Romulans, forcing the pointy-eared aliens to virtually abandoned contact with the rest of the galaxy to fight this extinction-level war with the Chodak, which finally ended in 2364. This is the story of that war....
THE VEDALA
A race of cat-like creatures, the Vedala are an ancient, mysterious race that the United Federation of Planets knows very little about. The Vedala are extremely powerful, and one of the oldest starfaring races known. In fact, the ancient Tkon Empire makes reference to this race and their enigmatic planetoid ships.
The Vedalans travel through space using large planetoid ships. Apparently, two planetoid ships operate in Sector 2 to cover Romulan Space, two out of Sector 4 in Klingon Space, and two in Sector 1, in Federation space. One ship appears to always be in each of the three operational areas. What their purposes are remains a mystery.
Described by Starfleet Admiral Richendra Doyle as, "Powerful troubleshooters who seek to limit conflicts between races," the Vedala forcibly halted the Romulan-Vulcan War and promoted the Skorr race to peace after thousands of years of continual warfare. The Vedala also have a destructive side as well: brutally intervening in the Menthar-Promellian War, the Vedalans wiped out both sides nearly 1,000 years ago. By conducting pre-emptive strikes against Menthar and Promellian fleets and their homeworlds, the Vedalans demonstrated that they would not hesitate to take swift and violent action if they saw their interests threatened. Members of this race seems to show themselves only one at a time and can also transport people across vast reaches of space.
The Vedala also appear to be very pro-Federation: they destroyed the Builders (a Borg-like techno-organic sect) who threatened to take over the early Federation in 2190. Also, in an effort to defuse rising tensions in Sector 33G (near the Skorr Empire) the Vedala assembled a highly specialized mission to recover the Soul of Alar, a holy object revered by that race led by Starfleet Captain James T. Kirk. The mission went as planned and the Soul of Alar was recovered, averting a devastating galactic war.
On Stardate 10017, the Federation starship USS Wellington observed strange readings from Beta Maximus, a rare hypergiant star located in Federation space. Located in Sector 272-K, an area populated with 14 Federation colonies and several alien homeworlds, Beta Maximus was entering a period of extreme solar instability. Upon entering the system the Wellington watched as a Vedala planetoid ship fired a massive beam of anti-particles into the heart of Beta Maximus. Then in a three-day process the Vedala planetoid fired several dozen quantum singularities into the core of the star. Beta Maximus then proceeded to implode into a large black hole and the crew of the Wellington watched in awe as the Vedalan planetoid ship withdrew without communicating. Several prominent Vulcan Academy scientists have theorized that if Beta Maximus had continued it's downward spiral and supernovaed that 2/3rds of the Federation would have been rendered uninhabitable. The Vedalans only possible goal must have been to implode the hypergiant star to stop it from its destructive course.
Interestingly, the Vedalans are also capable of temporal manipulation and are also expert terraformers. Many M-class planets in Federation space show signs of Vedalan manipulation, including the Dubhe Quaternary System where six worlds were partially terraformed by them. The Vedalans have also perfected genetic engineering and are true masters of gene manipulation and uplift. A Federation science team in the Bylaren System observed this process when the Vedalans showed up on Stardate 21002 and began changing Bylaren III's global environment. Using their abilities, the Vedalans also relieved the plasma plague on the high-population world Supreme and the nullified the deadly Phyrox Plague in Sector 27-K.
The Vedalans disappeared around the same time as the Chodak, and some Federation philosophers have speculated that there was a conflict between the two races, a conflict which wiped out both species. But no one knows for sure....

STARFLEET VESSELS
ANGUEIRRA-CLASS
Developed by the United Federation of Planets for its "Starfleet", this class of vessel was first built by Centauri Orbital Spaceworks in the late 2280s. It was later updated with new warp nacelles throughout the early 2300s,
but it was eventually scrapped for more modern and more capable vessels, primarily the Aventine-class hospital ships designed by Andor Prime Shipyards. More than thirty ships' in the Angueirra-class were built, with most outdated ships being sent to the Qualor Depot for eventual reclamation or reprocessing.
OBERTH-CLASS
Constructed as the primary research vessel for the United Federation of planets, more than 300 of this class of vessel were built and handed over to Starfleet to conduct surveys of UFP space. An extremely effective vessel, 
the Oberths' were kept in the line of duty for over 200 years and can still be seen chugging the spacelanes of the Federation. They are continually refitted with more advanced sensors as they are developed, making this small starship one of the most useful and practical in Starfleet history.
CAESAR-CLASS
This old Starfleet "workhorse" has been in use for over 80 years and is now (in the mid 2300s) headed to the local scrapyards. It is being replaced by the newer Oberth-class survey vessels. 
The Caesar-class is unique in holding the record for discovering the most M-class planets for the Federation: a total of 355 worlds across 10,000 cubic light years. These small starships held just 120 crew and 60 scientists, but they were quite roomy.
SPRINGFIELD CLASS
built by the United Federation of Planets for its "Starfleet", this class of vessel was used primary for border patrol, mainly against the Romulan Neutral Zone. A total of 110 were constructed throughout the late 
2200s. Three of these ships where eventually sold to several allied worlds and a few planets within the Triangle. They were moderately fast, heavily gunned, and built for combat: a strongly reinforced hull, advanced force field containment on all decks, and modular construction to make them quick to build. In the mid-2300s most were scrapped and sent to the breakers.
EMDEN-CLASS
Constructed as a light warship, mainly for colony support and convoy escort duties in and around the borders of the Klingon and Romulan Empires, this small warship was built by the hundreds but they were eventually
scrapped in the mid 2300s as more capable starships came online. They were extremely suitable for the task assigned them a performed well throughout their lifetime plying the spaceways.
SYDNEY-CLASS
This medium-sized commercial vessel was built for Starfleet in support of its colonization program within the boundaries of the Federation. With over 200 constructed, this class has moved over 80 million people to their
new colony worlds. This ship was first built in 2225 and was still in service over a hundred years later. Designed to carry 600 colonists, it was rated a top speed of Warp 5.
NEWTON-CLASS
Constructed to carry only 80 crew, this small starship was first laid down in 2210 and was used heavily during the expansion phase of the Federation in surveying new worlds and transporting 
goods and people within the UFP. The entire class was eventually scrapped in the mid 2300s as better starships came online and replaced these sturdy vessels.
