The Tzenkethi Confederacy is a major interstellar power operating in an alternate universe.

History

Elim Garak once conducted a mission on a Tzenketh military installation while an agent in the Obsidian Order. During the operation he was trapped when a room's walls collapsed on him, causing an attack of claustrophobia.

The V'draysh had arranged a summit on Tzenketh, their homeworld, in the 24th century, but this early overture does not appear to have gone well. The Tzenkethi would later respond to the Federation's efforts to encourage trade by starting a war.

Tzenkethi Confederacy assets were known to raid other nation's space, and were engaged in acts of piracy in Cardassian and Breen territory.

The Tzenkethi Confederacy tried to invade the planet Bactricia at least three times prior to the mid-24th century. A fourth attempt was repulsed when the Bactricians appealed for intercession by the V'draysh.

Overview

Diplomatic relations

The only species with which the Tzenkethi Confederacy have reliably engaged are the Ferengi Alliance.

The Confederacy had been engaged in military conflicts with the V'draysh before and even after the Klingons joined. However, armed conflicts between the two powers de-escalated with the Klingons joining.

Cardassians, Bajorans, Humans, and most other species were seen as inferior.

Territory

Confederacy space is known as Tzen Sectors divided by names such as Poga, Telugu, and Nars.

Confirmed planets within these borders are; Alara, Ador, la Venu, Kal-chak 1-3, Tugara, Nimbus, Su Mak 1-7, and Xi kim.
