For the most part this peaceful species developed slowly with no known periods of internal social unrest or armed conflict. As their population grew they slowly developed a central government. It is believed that they had achieved this level of advancement planet wide shortly after they entered into their industrial revolution. From a very early period in their history trade between regions was an important aspect of their society. | For the most part this peaceful species developed slowly with no known periods of internal social unrest or armed conflict.

Once they made the leap into space and learned that their were other species out there this aspect of their society was expanded. They explored and developed trade deals with many species. First by trading their own goods but very quickly by trading anything and everything. This allowed them to become the most powerful merchant species with in their sphere of influence. The expansion of the Ferengi into there region of space resulted in competition. Unfortunately the Ferengi seemed to be better suited to this kind of competition. | Once they made the leap into space and learned that their were other species out there this aspect of their society was expanded.

As a result they have lost many of the trade monopolies they once enjoyed. Contracts and trade deals have also been lost to the Ferengi. This rapid erosion of their economic and trade empire forced them to expand into fields they had never dealt in before. One of these was military hardware and weapons components. | As a result they have lost many of the trade monopolies they once enjoyed. Contracts and trade deals have also been lost to the Ferengi.

It is known that the Valerians delivered weapons-grade dolamide to the occupying Cardassians on Bajor and were suspected of still doing so in 2369 at DS9. Despite this, the Valerians have proved to be valuable trading partners to the Federation being able to source numerous supplies of Dilithium ore to be processed at our own refinement facilities in exchange for medical supplies and scientific equipment. This makes them far more suitable for the task than the Ferengi Alliance who have been known to request extortionate amounts of gold pressed Latinum for inferior quality Dilithium Ore. | It is known that the Valerians delivered weapons-grade dolamide to the occupying Cardassians on Bajor and were suspected of still doing so in 2369 at DS9.
