Khronnian (Vanguard)

The Khronnians were an ancient humanoid species from the planet Khronnia Prime in the Gamma Quadrant. They formed a feudalistic government called the Khronnian Suzerainty and fought in many conflicts with the Dominion.

The Khronnians were a technologically advanced and warrior-like but comparatively peaceful race of relatively large humanoids who come from the same genetic material as Klingons. Due to their advanced technology and ferocity in combat, the Dominion have avoided their territory and the sectors around it.

Much of Khronnian space cover that part of the Gamma Quadrant several light years behind the orifice of the Bajoran wormhole's terminus. This includes the Abraxis System, which sits along their borders, located about 8 light years away from the Bajoran wormhole.

Prior to the establishment of the Dauntless Field Command in the Gamma Quadrant, Rear Admiral Razal Gibran was tasked by Fleet Admiral Maximus Hunter to establish first contact with the Khronnians to learn more about their race. Taking temporary command of the Tactical Frigate USS Raging Bull, Gibran crossed the wormhole enroute to Khronnian territory. He was subsequently escorted to Khronnia Prime and was introduced to the suzerain, ruler of the Khronnians. After weeks following first contact procedures, Gibran was able to get the consent of the suzerain to use the uninhabited Abraxis System as base of operations of Dauntless Field Command.

The Khronnians noticed the provisional use of transwarp technology by the USS Bravery when it laid out a series of subspace relay stations in a nearly straight line between the two openings of the Bajoran wormhole and offered to the Federation their transwarp technology. However, the transwarp technology of the Khronnians was found to be similar to the Borg and the Voth and equally incompatible to Federation technology.

Instead the Khronnians shared their old technology of enhanced warp drive propulsion to Dauntless Field Command and to Task Force Mek’leth. This enhanced warp drive could be in constant active operation for years at a time, allowing a starship to safely reach and indefinitely sustain extremely high warp factors.
