The Coalition appears to have closely watched the recent raids by the Breen Confederacy against the Federation, with many of their raiders poised to exploit the chaos to their own ends. These seem tantamount to piracy, but appear to have the support of the Autarch. Any weakness from their neighbours are set upon, the dregs of their society launching raids for technology and resources. However, their lack of care for other races or governments renders them viciously opportunistic. This ended with the defeat of the Tzenkethi Coalition, and the reinforcement of the Federation border.įor much of the past fifty years, the Tzenkethi Coalition has remained politically isolated. Without any formal agreements or delineation of power established between the governments, there was no means for the Federation to ascertain the legitimacy of their claims, and a brief but vicious war was waged. In the mid-24th century, the Coalition claimed the Federation had settled worlds of high importance to them. Even diplomatic overtures from the Federation at first contact were met with rejection, leading to a perpetual state of uneasy tension along the border as the Federation settled nearby worlds. This led to a policy of extremely xenophobic isolation, as the Coalition deemed all other species as irrelevant to their society, or a threat. United in a way that had never been encountered before, the Coalition repelled the forces and defeated the invasion attempt. They found attacking individual Tzenkethi very different to striking against the Coalition as a whole, however an individual Tzenkethi might accept subjugation by a more powerful being, but the society would not surrender its hierarchy or identity. The Cardassian Union sought to exploit what they saw as weakness and launched an invasion to conquer and occupy the Coalition’s worlds, including the homeworld Ab-Tzenketh. For many Alpha Quadrant species, these slaves were the first Tzenkethi ever met as they were shipped and traded to distant markets. Accustomed to a strictly hierarchical existence, individual Tzenkethi made excellent chattel slaves that were eager to please their owners. It was these expeditions and outer settlements that were encountered by the Cardassian Union, who found them easy to dominate, capture, and sell into slavery.
The Tzenkethi achieved interstellar travel in the mid-21st century, establishing footholds and colonies on multiple nearby worlds.
