Tholian Assembly

Is located near the "southern"-edge of United Federation of Planets territory, near the Taurean Reach. The Tholians originally came from another galaxy where they had ruled an empire, until a successful, massive revolt. One of their former subject races, the insectoid Seltorians, are searching the local galaxies for any signs of Tholians, so they can continue the extermination process. Now settled in the Milkyway Galaxy, the Tholians quickly became enemies of the Klingon Empire. Tholian borders change often. Tholians are a sentient crystalline race, who must stay in high, very hot temperatures in order to survive. They have two arms and walk on four legs. They have two "eyes" in the front of their head. Their crystalized bodies usually has an orange color. In the Milkyway Galaxy, the Tholians has a client species called the Chakuun. The Chakuun serves as special shock troops. The Chakuun are similar in appearence to Earth's mythological Centaur creatures(humanoid torso, arms, and head with, below the waist/hips/stomach, a horse-like body). The Chakuun can be seen rushing into battle wearing battle armor, and they crew there own warships, in the name of their Tholian masters.
