Star Trek Novel Verse/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

=== Nanietta Bacco ===

As of the conclusion to ''[[Star Trek: A Time to...]]'', Bacco serves as President of the United Federation of Planets. She holds that office through the events of ''[[Star Trek Articles of the Federation]]'', ''[[Star Trek Destiny]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Typhon Pact]]''. An elderly human woman, she is charged with guiding [[the Federation]] through a period of great instability. She's a bit of an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: from her introduction as part of a novel's C-plot, she was quickly promoted to a character carrying [[Star Trek Articles of the Federation|her own book]]. Since then, her role has only expanded further.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Politically, Bacco and Tholian Ambassador Tezrene are almost certainly Arch Enemies. Their first real political tussle occurs in ''[[A Singular Destiny]]'', in which Tezrene came out on top. Bacco won the next round in ''[[Star Trek: Typhon Pact]]: Zero Sum Game'', before Tezrene once again triumphed in ''Paths of Disharmony'', when her people succeeded in causing further political chaos in the Federation. As of late, Bacco refers to "that bitch Tezrene."

== K'mtok ==

Klingon Ambassador to the Federation as of [[Star Trek: A Time to...]] onward. Holds the position through [[Star Trek Articles of the Federation]], [[Star Trek Destiny]] and [[Star Trek: Typhon Pact]].

* [[Ambadassador]]: He is, like all Klingon nobles, a warrior.

Line 287:

* [[Proud Scholar Race]]: Interestingly, they're shown in several novels to be more like the Vulcans than might be expected. Scholarship is valued highly in their culture. Despite or perhaps because of this, only those of higher class can pursue academic careers.

* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: Along with their scholar tendencies (above), it's a bit of an [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]; while the TV series ([[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]] onward, at least) focused on their sneaky, politically manipulative [[Chessmaster]] tendencies, the novels portray the hot-blooded warrior aspect of their culture far more prominantly. They certainly don't lose their [[Chessmaster]] traits, though.

* [[Vestigial Empire]]: Back and forth in the novels, post [[Star Trek Nemesis]]. In the immediate aftermath, the Romulan Star Empire [[Balkanise Me|fragmented into factions]]. Praetor Tal'aura and Proconsul Tomalak were able to reunite most of them, as the Federation sought to maintain peace along the borders. Commander Donatra, however, declared the worlds and fleets loyal to her independent. Between losing territory to Donatra, uprisings on the outworlds, and the damage from the [[Star Trek Destiny|Borg Invasion]], the Empire was less than half its former size. It was explicitly stated in [[Star Trek Articles of the Federation]] that the Romulans were no longer a superpower. However, they bounced back thanks to membership in the [[Star Trek: Typhon Pact|Typhon Pact]]. That said, the empire will presumably collapse again when Romulus is destroyed (though we're still a few years short of that in the current timeframe...)

* [[Villain Team-Up]]: A leading member of the Typhon Pact, an alliance of six previously xenophobic and aggressive antagonist cultures, united for mutual protection as a sort of rival-Federation.
