Dangers to the Federation: Current, 2378

Denubians



The apparent leaders of the Valkurak. According to information gathered in Sector 668 they were at war with a race known as the "Oni" approximately one-thousand years ago. They are identified by their pale skin and white hair, and are assumed to be averaging in six foot in height and slim features. This information is based on medical reports on the only Denubian to have been seen so far, their War Leader, Ty'Ida Moroda, and as such should be treated as subject to change.

Starfleet's official report on the Denubians stated that that particular race has been all but wiped out by the Borg. This, it turned out, was an elaborate ruse, an attempt to disguise their true power until they were ready. An expeditionary force led by Admiral Brice on the insistance of Captain Novaq discovered the truth, at the cost of the USS Monitor.

Their ships appear in two classes: Battlecruisers; larger than a Galaxy-class, slim sensor profile, fast attack-ship, generally seen in small groups. Warcruiser; only one of these believed to operate in the Alpha Quadrant, longer than a Romulan Warbird, narrow sensor profile, fairly manouverable. Both types are equipped with a "cutting beam" which bypasses shields to cut directly into the hull of a starship, though their effectiveness has been decreased though modulation and adaption of our fleet's shields. Their technology enables them to avoid sensor locks, making automatic targeting impossible. Their ships are also equipped with Phased Shielding, which, we understand, has been passed on to the other members of their alliance. Since the retaking of Vulcan, we are to assume all Denubian ships are now equipped with Cloaking Devices.

At present, no obvious weaknesses are apparent, and though they do appear to lack in numbers, we have yet to destroy or capture one of their ships.
