Bolian world history follows three individual strands before the 22nd Century, as the three main continents formed nations that were largely self-sufficient and contained. However, during the 22nd Century, advances in technology led to increased contact between the three continental powers, which eventually led to serious cultural disputes, and eventually war. The war was not over territory, but over which cultural practices were correct and proper, and the three sides raged in an unbreakable equilibrium for many years. | |||
It was during this cultural war that warp travel was developed. However, far from demonstrating to the Bolians that under a united planetary government they could make a stance as a galactic power, the development of warp travel did little to impact upon the cultural differences between the three civilisations. First contact with two alien races inflamed the disputes further. One race, the Iren, contacted the Bolians in an effort to seek aid in defending their homeworld against alien aggressors. That same people, the Uzor, contacted the Bolians to explain the motives behind their attacks, which they claimed to be in self-defense against a people that refused to help their civilisation, which was fast running out of natural resources. Two of the continental powers took opposite sides in this conflict, one providing the Iren with weapons and technology but not involving themselves directly in the conflict, the other providing resources to assist the Uzor that so badly needed them. | |||
The third power looked upon its rivals with scorn, and developed a somewhat jingoist stance. They were not resentful of the other races, but they were thoroughly convinced that their societies were not, and would never be, as productive as those that resided on Bolarus IX. They refused to help either side and pressed for their traditions and cultures to be accepted planetwide at the expense of all else. | |||
During this time, the Ferengi were known to have had dealings with the Bolians, who, while slightly less advanced in the field of technology, were able to hold their own during business negotiations. This earned them some respect in the eyes of the Ferengi. First Contact did not go so well with the Moropa, another neighbouring race, and hostilities erupted in the late 23rd Century. | |||
By the end of the 23rd Century, Bolarus had made first contact with the Federation. Initial talks with a number of factions went well, but moreover showed the Bolian people that it was possible for many different cultures to coexist under one unified banner. By 2320, the Bolian states had set aside their differences and formed a world government, and thus were accepted into the Federation as full members. | |||
During the Dominion War, the Bolian sector was a hotbed of military activity. By 2374 the 6th Fleet was deployed there as a solid front against a rapid Dominion incursion into Federation territory. After the Romulans joined the war, pressure was relieved from this sector during what came to be known as the "Bolian Operation". | |||
