Dangers to the Federation: Current, 2378

Minor members of the Valkurak Alliance

Muranin

A small pirate race with limited offensive capabilities; home planet is known to be on the outskirts of the Alpha Quadrant. They made a deal with the Valkurak to supply them with weapons in exchange for letting the Valkurak set up base on their world. They were excised from the Valkurak after failing to provide adequate support to their cause. All contact has been lost with the Muranin, who appear to have come under attack from another agressor race. Intelligence believes they may have initially joined up with the Valkurak to escape this other race.

Chalnoth

A fierce lion-like people, who are anarchists by nature. They do not have a government of any kind and exist purely by killing those who threaten them. Intel believes they have recently joined the Valkurak simply to cause chaos in the Alpha Quadrant.

Their ships are long and comparitively narrow, extremely well armoured and equipped with powerful phasers and standard torpedoes.

It is expected that, judging by the current situation, if the Vok were to depart, they would become the mainstay of the enemy fleet.

Tzenkethi

This Alpha Quadrant-based civilisation were once at war with the Federation. Since that conflict ended very little has been seen of the Tzenkethi, until their recent emergence as new members of the Valkurak Alliance.

Their ships are very fast, though lightly armed, and attack in groups to give them a strategic advantage.

It is their prior experience fighting the Federation that is probably their greatest contribution to the Valkurak, which could prove costly for our fleets in upcoming engagements.
