==Backstory== | |||
The Community are curious about other species but apparently didn’t realize that some of the other races they had encountered were sentient until they made telepathic contact with a [[Deltan]] ambassador on board the USS ''Rutledge''. They refused all diplomatic contact with the Federation after the incident. | |||
In 2391, they made contact with the deep space survey ship ''Tyson''. The crew of the ''Tyson'' reported seeing things--people that weren’t really there: long lost relatives and friends speaking to them, but something was off about how these representations behaved. Shortly thereafter, the crew realized it was actually the Community itself attempting to communicate with them using their own memories as avatars. It was the first direct communication the Federation received from the Community in over a decade. When the ''Tyson'' crew later beamed down to the moon's surface, they encountered actual physical bodies the Community were able to "inhabit" for direct interaction, but it seems such physical forms are more vestigial now, with very little sentient thought on their own unless infused by the Community's consciousness. The Community didn’t take hostile action against the survey ship, instead asking for assistance. | |||
The {{USS|Garuda}} was subsequently sent to further investigate the matter, discovering the Community were actively engaged in a blockade against their enemy the [[Myr Luuk]]. | |||
