Kanterri
Home System
Kantarii, located some 87,500 lightyears beyond the RSE border within the Delta Quad, more toward the galactic core. System is a single star orbited by 4 planets, all located within the "habitable" ring of the suns perimeter. It is unknown which is the original homeworld of this species, as they hold remains of highly developed civilization, although current technology level is comparable to UFP. All planets are class M, but with higher concentrations of nitrogen, and lower than normal levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. Any AT mission would require the use of oxygen equipment. (The atmosphere without this equipment to a human would be like standing on top of Mt Everest... you could do it, but not for long... Running or other strenuous activity (fighting)? Forget it...)
Technology
Appears comparable to UFP, however in no way can this be adapted for use by UFP or any other race within UCIP at this time. The design, function, and operation of various technologies are as unfathomable to UCIP scientists as electronics would be to a human from the Victorian era of Earth (1890-1910). These devices still produce warp capability for starships, matter transmission, and so forth, so that the species can easily be considered an equal to UCIP. In reality, these guys are a little way ahead of UCIP development, but not much.. (and how would you tell anyway?)
Attitude
Somewhat Xenophobic. A minimum of 90% of this species could be categorised as "pathological liars", and are completely untrustworthy. The other 10% would sell their mothers into slavery... if the price is right... and can be trusted about as far as an ant could throw an elephant on Jupiter (ie. not at all...) Also, highly aggressive in defence. While there is no direct evidence of contact by previous species (except the Borg, and only on visual examination of the various planets and by questioning of the natives, if you can believe them) these guys will react to any show of force much along the lines of an ant colony defending itself. Lots of soldiers with big guns that shoot first and then shoot again to make sure.... but they dont generally go looking for a fight .
Conclusion
Could be effectively the "continued antogonist" role to the Endeavour. Anytime something bad happens in DQ, these guys could be behind it (particularly if it will have bad effects on the Endy). Know a lot about the Borg (if anyone from SCI is able to get into one of these guys labs... which wont happen unless they break in through security tougher than Fort Knox... they will find several Borg "Specimens" complete with individual labels on each individual part, and all neatly packed in display cases..), but do not feel threatened by them. If anything these guys could hold their own against any Borg resurgance (and UCIP might be asking them for help!) They dont appear to travel outside of their own solar system, but then again that's what they will tell anyone who asks.. (see above for Attitude).
