The Klingons waged an unsuccessful war against them over 400 years ago. During the war billions of space mines, asteroid weapons platforms and communications jambing devices were produced by the Ameone and scattered across the star cluster. For many years this made the system uninhabitable as the Klingons slowly cleaned it up. It is still dangerous but there are numerous colonies scattered throughout the various systems of the Veqlargh star cluster. | ||

The Governor of these colonies is Governor Socklock. He is an old Klingon who is not a favourite of the Klingon high Council. Indeed, the Veqlargh systems are known as a backwater assignment in the Klingon Empire. Due to the space mines, asteroid weapons platforms and communications jambing devices it remains a dangerous place to live and, in many ways, the colonies there are similar to Siberria on 20th century Earth (i.e. where the High Council sends people and criminals to live in exile.) For this reason, the region is not held in high regard. | |||
In late 2385 an epedemic virus spread through the various systems of the Veqlargh star cluster. The High Council refused to allow the United Federation of Planets to seek medical aid, however, Governor Socklock makes a trip to Starbase 118 to seek assistance under the pretence of attending the Klingon Imperial Opera's schedule performance on the Starbase. The crew of Starbase 118 believe the virus was released on purpose because although on the face of it the epidemic looked like typical viral spread, when followed far enough bach it is clear that there were five simultaneous Patient Zeroes, all in different locations. Each of the locations were strategically ideal for maximum spread -e.g. one of them worked at a transport hub. It is not impossible that this backwater region of space (with its colonists who are considered second class citizens in the Klingon Empire) was purposefully used as a test bed for a new bio-chemical weapon, however, more investigation is required. | |||
