- Coming from Planet 892-IV, first contact with this species occurred during the 2260's when
Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise tried to retrieve a Federation Citizen who had
joined this planets civilisation.
The native species are almost identical to Terrans, and in an extraordinary example of
Hodgkin's law of parallel planet development, they have developed a culture that mimics that
of the great Roman Empire on Earth.In this case however the empire thrived and continued.
When first contact was made they were the equivalent to the late 20th century in technology.
Now due in part to federation aid the have joined the Federation as a valued member.
As a species they still have a lot to learn, although they are learning fast, members of these
species have an overbearing sense of self-righteousness and tend to try to be dominant in
most situations.This has led to several of members of this species to rise rapidly in the ranks
of Starfleet.
