Rodulan recorded history (Officially) begins 9,067 years ago with the founding of the city of Etaje on the island of Killudoran, though as modern scholars have pointed out, recorded history extends about another 1500 years before Etaje was founded though in considerably less detail. So regardless, with the founding of Etaje began the Ancient Era of the Rodulans where their incredible artistic qualities were first displayed. In this millennia long period of growth from the Bronze Age to the Steel Age, the Rodulans would map much of the surface of their paradisiac ocean world and eventually by the end of the Ancient Era, most of the major islands had established contact with one another. This era of increased contact and trade would lead to the Rodulan’s first attempt at a unified government spanning most of the planet’s surface. | Rodulan recorded history (Officially) begins 9,067 years ago with the founding of the city of Etaje on the island of Killudoran, though as modern scholars have pointed out, recorded history extends about another 1500 years before Etaje was founded though in considerably less detail.

However in 2328 the Betreka Nebula became a war zone between the Cardassian Union and the Klingon Empire. Basul Rodul was occupied for 23 years from two years before the conflict began to three years after it ended and the Klingons were forced to withdraw. The Occupation of Basul Rodul lacked the brutality of the Occupation of Bajor but the effects on both respective peoples and cultures were the same. The Rodulans were now keenly aware that they were part of a dangerous galaxy and without a means to defend themselves. A few years later the Rodulans and several other species from the Betreka Nebula formed an Alliance to keep themselves neutral through their own armed forces. The Rodulans contribute little militarily to this Alliance but have donated considerable sums of money towards the Betreka Nebula League in order for the defense fleet to be maintained. | However in 2328 the Betreka Nebula became a war zone between the Cardassian Union and the Klingon Empire.

During the Occupation a great many Rodulan pieces of art were either stolen, lost or destroyed and since the Dominion War the Rodulans have been offering hefty sums of money to whoever returns these works of art to them. They are especially interested in recovering the lost Basotile pieces from two centuries ago. | During the Occupation a great many Rodulan pieces of art were either stolen, lost or destroyed and since the Dominion War the Rodulans have been offering hefty sums of money to whoever returns these works of art to them.
