Species Location: Sector 926-Delta, it rests on the South-Western corner of Beta quadrant, it’s one of the denser star systems that the federation has yet to fully explore. Inside Sector 926-Delta there are 13 planets that form the Mer’lian Union, these are located on the eastern edge.
General Introduction: On a previous mission aboard the USS-Crazy Horse it was ordered to take an ambassador to the Merl system, the Mer’lians are a peaceful race and have been at war with the Kravaldi Empire for some time and requested assistance from the federation. The Horse traveled to Mer where it sustained orbit and arranged a meeting with the Mer’lian council, 1 transport and 1 shuttle where stopped by the Krivaldi empire who saw the Crazy Horse’s assistance as a threat.
The Krivaldi are war species, they would do anything and would not give up to expand their empire by destroying the union. Diplomatic actions were used to keep the 2 races at bay but never the less the Krivaldi did everything to stop it and continued their assault invading the Mer home world.
After some problems on the horse the diplomatic approach was totally useless and the Krivaldi began a steam-rolling invasion of Mer. After a while of the Krivaldi destroying everything a neighboring system the Kref'eyan's and ally to the Mer'lians came to the rescue.
The USS-Crazy Horse, USS-Repulse, The Kref'eyan's and the Mer’lians all managed to some how defeat the Krivaldi Galactic Empire.
After the Krivaldi ran away with there tail between there legs the Horse and Repulse (Sub-Sim) Returned home.
Since the horse left, the Krivaldi launched a second attack capturing the Starfleet Ambassador and taking planet Mer, little is know what has happened, as communications with the Mer’lians and the Ambassador are not replied too.
