Looking through the broken glass
Right

Mikey- mind bogglingly existentialist
Dark Omen- modeller, arty creative type
Metalhead-video sequence/cgi man

Well that was....random....
I'd be happy to work on the political developements and such throughout the period.

Well as we all will get equal votes and vetos, anything can be suggested, i was thinking perhaps a fractioning of the klingon empire into warring houses thanks to romulan machinations bearing fruit, or perhaps a closening of romulan and federation ties, a warming of the usual strained frosty relations but is up to everyone to decide on such...
And with enough votes, we could even replace the united federation of planets with the terran empire....
Any chance you can hope back on msn sometime?

Whatever was wrong with my computer seems to be clearing up for some reason, I'll give it a try in a while.

Right, chakat, rochey, mikey, metal, dark, et al !
Hows about a skeletal little brainstorm here!
Firstly: Politics&Territories and Affiliations&Antagonists for the major powers circa 2450, and also if people want it set 'in universe' or 'alternate universe'. Any mapmakers welcome to express themselves!
My vote (happily ignored or heavily modified):
Alternate universe, with Terran Empire in lieu of United Federation of Planets.
Klingon Empire fragmented into warring housesµ-empires under pressure from Romulan schemes and from factions who have warred over the validity of Emperor Clone-Kahless and pro&anti resurgent House of Duras etc, so is in disparate pockets.
Cardassian Union, annexed Talarian Republic.
Romulan Star Empire, larger than before having made some gains into what was formerly klingon space, and so is more on a par, with the Terran Empire, although both regimes utilise 'free klingons' i.e. masterless ronin as mercenaries and auxiliaries.
Dominion, not yet emerged as the wormhole is still sealed
Ferengi Alliance, more centralised and heavily involved in and monopolising most of the underworld from gun-running to white collar and boardroom financial fraud, and is via stocks&shares and bribes, propping up central command in the cardassian union.
Breen Confederacy, isolationist, galactic feelers via ferengi and other intermediataries and by intelligence officers posing as sellswords and mercenaries, terminates any vessels of any affiliation which violate its territorial integrity, almost becoming a galactic boogyman.
Tholian Assembly, deeply involved in klingon civil wars and is home to several exiled houses, giving asylum.Also took advantage of chaos to annex the Gorn Hegemony.
Ideas?

I like the ideas, esp. the Ferengi as a more influential if covert influence. Perhaps one of the smaller powers - Cardassians or Tholians - has decided to live in fealty to either the Rommies or the Terrans in order to retain some bit of autonomy?

Hows about the oppulent ferengi manipulating the assorted guls and glims and the tholian assembly being an ally or vassal of romulus or earth?
What would you prefer?
