Technology
They are not as advanced technologically as the Cardassians or even the Bajorans. They do have the tech to establish colonies and mining facilities on hostile worlds. They also have a fairly large asteroid mining operation. Their largest and best known facility is a dolamide purification plant on the planet Ultima Thule. This planet also has one of their largest colonies thanks to the use of certain technologies that they have traded for that have made the planet livable.
Economy
The Valerians operate a giant arms sales cartel specializing in chemical explosives but selling almost anything. Their reputation has hurt their legitimate business and as a result Valerian ships are banned at many ports. The Valerians own a dolamide purification plant on the planet Ultima Thule which it is believed is used to refine dolamide for use in explosive devices.
Military
While they do not have a military force they do have a large number of armed merchant ships. Approximately 1 out of every 3 they have. While they claim neutral status and try to avoid any and all aggressive acts they will defend themselves. They prefer to retreat and evade any potential conficts if at all possible.
Federation Intelligence Files
The Valerians delivered weapons-grade dolamide to the occupying Cardassians on Bajor and were suspected of still doing so in 2369 at DS9, soon after the withdrawal, although they also traded with the Federation.
