History
The Chakuun were originally a minor but warlike race. They were annexed, conquered by the Tholian Assembly some time around 1954 approximately. The Chakuun eventually offered their services as soldiers and eventually became an elite military force within the Assembly. In exchange for their services, the Tholians provided them with weapons and ships such as the infamous Chakuun ghostship.
The Chakuun shared the Tholian understanding of a dynamic, shifting cosmos. In 2254, when the Tholians realigned their territory to compensate for the shifting of stars, the Chakuun launched an offensive against the Federation, destroying colonies on Jubal and Theta Kalyb that they regarded as invasions. At the Battle of Theta Kalyb, the Chakuun succeeded in destroying the Nelson-class scoutships USS Brazzaville and USS Providence as well as the Miranda-class USS Achilles. In previous encounters, the Chakuun destroyed the colony of New Milan and a starship Claire Thorn was serving on.
New Venice was a Human colony on the planet Mars, in the Sol system. The colony was named for Venice, in Italy, on Earth, presumably by settlers that originated from that region. Gabrielle Carlotti moved to the New Venice colony after her family were killed in a Chakuun attack on her original home in the New Milan colony.
Tholian Expansionist Programs
The Tholian expansionist programs were a series of conflicts between the Tholian Assembly and the United Federation of Planets in the early to mid-23rd century. Many of the actual battles in the conflict were fought by the Chakuun, considered by the Federation to be a Tholian slave race but who thought of themselves as allies to the Assembly.
The conflict was a result of the differing understanding of territory by both powers. The Federation perceived the Tholians as aggressively claiming territory at a whim, however the Tholians believed they were simply enforcing their territory which they adjusted periodically to take account of stellar drift. It was not until 2254 that both sides came to understand each other and the conflict was brought to an end.

The Chakuun Ghostship is a type of large starship used by the Chakuun, a subject race of the Tholian Assembly. According to Starfleet Intelligence these ships are of Tholian manufacture. They have proven to be more than a match against Federation starships.
Ghostships are protected by layered shielding and armed with a powerful Fusion caster modified for planetary bombardment. Ghostships also carried aboard them squadrons of fighter craft. In combat, ghostships were superior to anything Starfleet could fight them with. A Constitution class starship could not penetrate the ghostship's shields with its phasers and could barely survive a glancing blow from the Chakuun's fusion caster.
Against a fleet of ghostships, Christopher Pike noted a taskforce consisting of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and four smaller ships was "no match".
This data is over 100 years out of date. No Chakuun vessel has been encountered since then.
