What is known is that according to Klingon Military records the Ameone race suffered just as greatly if not even more terrible losses than the Klingon forces. Whole colonies were supposedly wiped out. Planetary terraforming efforts were negated and their homeworld suffered from massive orbital fire missions. | What is known is that according to Klingon Military records the Ameone race suffered just as greatly if not even more terrible losses than the Klingon forces.

The Klingons avoid this region of space and no Klingon ships are allowed to enter. As a result very little is know about the current state of the Ameone race with in the borders of the Veqlargh Star Cluster. | ||

Then the Klingons invaded and set up a military governorship on each planet. During the war that followed their rebellion over half their total population was killed. | ||
Obviously they developed a new system of government during their 300 plus years of seclusion. Now each colony has a governor who is the highest ranking noble in that colony. Most of the rest of the noble class are split between being officers in their military and holding down all the senior civilian government offices. Junior positions are now occupied by builders or clerics. | Obviously they developed a new system of government during their 300 plus years of seclusion.

Mostly these were peaceful, some were aggressive and with the Klingons it was down right hostile. At one point it almost broke out into another war. As a result of this anti-Klingon sentiment they were receptive to the idea of allying themselves with the Velorians. Following the Hobus star disaster inside the Romulan empire the talks took on a new aspect and eventually resulted in the formation of the [[Thracian Alliance]]. | ||

Regardless they still tend to be a very calm, relaxed spiritual people. | It is logical to guess that much has changed with this species as they now have a 5th class devoted completely to being soldiers and a greatly reduced noble class.
