{{Heading|The Theta 122 | {{Heading|The Sheliak Blockade of Theta 122 (2397/98)}} | ||
In 2397 the advances of the Sheliak Corporate sent thousands of ships scurrying for cover and protection. A flotilla gathered in orbit of [[Theta 122]], including the [[USS Arrow]]. When the Sheliak blockaded the planet the ships found themselves stranded above the desolate planet. Factions and alliances were made and broken, and the ''Arrow'' observed six big figures operating among the thousands of ships. Dubbed '''"The Big Six"''' by Captain Shayne, these included: | In 2397 the advances of the Sheliak Corporate sent thousands of ships scurrying for cover and protection.

* Captain [[Oqidd]] of the Chalnoth Vessel ''Dagger''. He prowls Theta 122 with his pack, and there have been reports of his crew cannibalizing others in the flotilla. | * Captain '''[[Oqidd]]''' of the Chalnoth Vessel ''Dagger''.

His mission over Theta 122 was to synthesize a toxic irritant to silicon-based life - like the Sheliak - and test it on the uninhabited planet. | ||
* [[Gul Dakul]], commander of the ''CDS Hecklat'' represented the [[Cardassian Union]] above Theta 122. An angry and moody veteran of the Dominion War. He died onboard the ''Arrow'', and command of the Galor class ship transferred to his Glinn - DeKeal - who left the system shortly after on the orders of Central Command. | * '''[[Gul Dakul]]''', commander of the ''CDS Hecklat'' represented the [[Cardassian Union]] above Theta 122.

* [[Blet|DaiMon Blet]], the seedy and unscrupulous commander of the ''FMS Kasseka''. Blet seemed to enjoy 'press-ganging' unsuspecting business partners into his service if they reneged on deals made with him, and exploited the smaller ships in the area. After Blet's demise on the bridge of the ''Razor's Edge'', his second in command - Durg - took command of the ''Kasseka''. | * '''[[Blet|DaiMon Blet]]''', the seedy and unscrupulous commander of the ''FMS Kasseka''.

* [[Murkad|General Murkad]], commanding the Klingon vessel ''IKS K'prong'', trapped alone above the planet. His primary goal appears to be keeping the Sheliak at bay, and denying the aggressive expansion of their kind. | * '''[[Murkad|General Murkad]]''', commanding the Klingon vessel ''IKS K'prong'', trapped alone above the planet.

* Orion privateer Captain [[Eru Ghant]] of the ''Razor's Edge'' represented the fast growing contingent of pirates and privateers in the region. Wanted on several counts by the Federation, the deadly femme fatale betrayed the conference on the ''Arrow'' - unleashing a simultaneous attack on the ship and on the away team. She was apparently killed on the ''Arrow''. | * Orion privateer Captain '''[[Eru Ghant]]''' of the ''Razor's Edge'' represented the fast growing contingent of pirates and privateers in the region.

In [[A Scouring of Stars (Arrow)]] the ''USS Arrow'' played host to these figures in an attempt to hammer out a pact of non-aggression. The conference was not entirely successful. At the end of the mission, DaiMon Blet and Gul Dakul had been killed, General Murkad had begrudgingly aided the ''Arrow'' on the promise of Sheliak-killing weapons from Captain Dau, and Eru Ghant had seemingly been killed, only to be revived in secret by Sheliak Captain Tamazotz. | In [[A Scouring of Stars (Arrow)]] the ''USS Arrow'' played host to these figures in an attempt to hammer out a pact of non-aggression.
