Technology

Unfortunately they are lagging behind most of the other Federation member worlds, especially when it comes to engineering and technology. As regards chemistry and biology, in these two fields they have been able to keep up and are even considered to produce individuals whose training is good enough for them to get jobs on just about any Federation member world out there.

Economy

Their home world is most an agrarian planet with a very small industrial base so they are dependent on many imports and as such they have an economy that while strong can not be considered rich. Over 75% of all luxury goods and over 50% of all foods produced by them are exported in order to be able to balance the cost of importing raw materials that they need to keep their economy going.

Military

At one time they had a fairly strong if small military force that protected their homeworld however since they joined the Federation they have depended on Starfleet for protection and converted their small fleet into a civil defense force that patrols the transportation and cargo lanes with in their sector. Unfortunately nothing has been done to upgrade or seriously maintain this fleet and it is now over 50 years out of date. A few of the ships have been mothballed as they are no longer even remotely considered safe to operate.

Federation Intelligence Files

The V'radians are a humanoid species from inside the section of space that use to be the Delphic Expanse.

An unnamed V'radian was also held captive in the slave market on Verex III.
