* There is no United Federation of Planets. Every planet had their own trade arrangements with each other and lived independently. When the Xith invasion started wiping out whole populations and planets, a '''Galactic Alliance''' was hastily formed. | * There is no United Federation of Planets.

* '''New ship construction''' is strained due to a lack of resources from the war, and most warships are pieced and parted together from the battle remains of lost vessels. A Sovereign class ship may be welded together with several other class vessels. '''Warp 5''' is the maximum achievement. | |||
* '''Caitians''' are hardcore isolationists that managed to momentarily thwart the Xith invasion of their homeworld. Just how they did this remains a mystery. However, their initial good fortune with the enemy is why most ships had brought common-house cats on board. There was hope that something inherently biological in the animal would be beneficial – later it just became a symbol of luck to have a cat, or cats, aboard. They also kept the rodent population at bay. It is believed that the Caitians seclusion from other species, and their refusal to accept help from the outside lead to their extinction via the Xith. The fact that hey did not share information on their momentary good fortune against the Xith also hurt the rest of the galaxies. | * '''Caitians''' are hardcore isolationists that managed to momentarily thwart the Xith invasion of their homeworld.
