History
An ancient and highly-advanced society, the Iconians reached their peak just before dying out about 200,000 years ago. Iconia, their homeworld, was destroyed by orbital bombardment 200,000 years ago and now the planet is located near the Romulan side of the Neutral Zone. Dubbed by history as conquerors, their use of a highly advanced galactic-wide transporter allowed their empire to flourish; at least one outpost was in the Gamma Quadrant.
Ancient texts called the Iconians "Demons of Air and Darkness", who were said to have the ability to appear at will on far-flung planets without the use of starships. Later this was found to be a reference to the Iconians' gateway technology, whose instant teleportation allowed them to establish outposts at least as far as Vandros IV in the Gamma Quadrant. Until the discovery of Iconia in 2365, the Iconians were still dismissed by many as nothing more than myth.
Historically the Iconians were generally described as a race of conquerors, though recently some scholars disputed this claim as a distortion perpetuated by species who feared and demonized their advanced technology, and eventually destroyed them. It was speculated that not all of the Iconians perished in the attacks, but rather used their gateways to escape to other worlds. Indeed, the similarity between the Iconian language and the later languages of Dewan, Dinasian, and Iccobar has been cited as evidence of this theory
In 2377, Tom Paris told Harry Kim he received a call from an "Iconian scientist" who said he had a trans-dimensional gateway that could take the USS Voyager anywhere in the galaxy. In reality, Paris was just saying this to prove to Torres how gullible Kim was.
Shortly after this some of the ancient gateways started to pop open seemingly on their own. Crew from DS9 were forced to investigate and a solution to the problem seemed to be found. One that they hoped would permanently seal the gateways.
While this was going on a species called the Petraw pretended to be descendants of the Iconians and attempted to broker a deal to sell the gateway technology to the Orion Syndicate.
Considering the very real possibility that somewhere in the galaxy the survivors were able to colonize a new world, Starfleet Intelligence has ordered this file kept open.
Government
No documented records have been found.
Description
All that is known about their appearance is that they looked to be typical humanoids along the lines of Bajorans, Trill, Humans and Vulcans.
Physiology
No documented records have been found.
Psychology
No documented records have been found.
Religion
No documented records have been found.
Mythology
No documented records have been found.
Society
No documented records have been found.
Culture
No documented records have been found.
Customs
No documented records have been found.
Technology
No documented records have been found. However most experts believe that in some ways they were far in advance of anything currently available anywhere in the Federation.
Economy
No documented records have been found.
Military
No documented records have been found.
Federation Intelligence Files
All current data is based on historical files, recovered data and archeological discoveries. While it is believed the current residents of Dewan, Dinasian and Iccobar may possibly be survivors or at least the decendents of survivors that have interbred with the native population, no proof to this affect has yet been discovered.
Considering the very real possibility that somewhere in the galaxy the survivors were able to colonize a new world, Starfleet Intelligence has ordered this file kept open.
Sources
Both Memory Alpha and Memory Beta were used as sources as well as the TV episodes, TNG: Contagion, DS9: To the Death and VOY: Inside Man.
