With the dwindled population and organization of the Romulan Star Empire near the end of the 24th century, who will step up as the next big player? The Federation generally expands by diplomacy and comradery. The Klingons have had time since their civil war to get their shit together. The Orion Syndicate typically stays on the outskirts, but the opportunity is there. The Dominion had been a non-player since the treaty, but then who actually expects them to ignore the situation? The Borg as we know them in that time period are gone. (Insert new faction/random Delta Quadrant race) appears to mix things up. I’m not familiar with any Beta Canon or STO lore, so if any of this gets addressed, I’m curious to hear of it.

    The Klingons, yearning for the Glory of the past, join forces with the Gorn to ignite a war fiercer than anything the galaxy has seen. Or at least, I think that would be cool.

      Intriguing. We’ve only recently gotten a closer look at the Gorn Hegemony, but from the 23rd century. TNG, DS9, and VOY only make light reference to them without any appearance. As another warlike species, that would be fun to see play out. Especially since both sides would naturally plan to destroy the other once their goals were met. Where’s Worf’s son Alexander at this point?
