Valara, home for the Ka'Leigh was a space faring planet for a hundreds years before the Federation was even founded. At one point in time Valara was rich in Lithium which allowed its people, the Ka'Leigh, to develop warp drive technology and explore the stars. The Ka'Leigh Alliance, like the Federation was interested in exploration, but unlike the Federation they weren't interested in meeting new species, they were only interested in observation and colonization.


The Ka'Leigh Alliance settled over 50 star systems and gathered much knowledge of the Gamma Quadrant. They opened up trade with many races, though they never became allies with anyone. At its height the Alliance was trading with 72 other races, it contained 58 star systems, the Alliance had 321 commisioned starships and 63 billion Ka' Leigh. They were a very mighty force, though they had few weapons.

Then the Jem'Hadar attacked. They did not ask for negotiations, they did not even annouce their presence, they just began attacking. They quickly took several border worlds and gradually began to work their way towards the heart of the Alliance, the New Eden Solar System.

The Ka' Leigh did their best to fight off the Jem'Hadar but to no avail. They we're out numbered, out gunned, and out classed. Over the course of a decade the Ka'Leigh were shoved deeper and deeper back into their own space with nowhere to move.

With nowhere to go the Alliance made the only move available to them. They pulled all remaining forces back to New Eden and began the fortification of their homeworld. Valara was made into a fortress. All remaining starships were stripped of weaponry and everything was added to planetary defense. The New Eden system had became invunerable, and the Dominion New it.

Instead of attacking Valara the Dominion instead built a massive generator on the outskirts of the solar system. The generator operated in conjunction with several thousand relays to keep a one way shield up around New Eden. Things could get in, but nothing could get out. New Eden had been long ago stripped of all primary resources, even the lithium was gone and the Ka'Leigh were minning from am asteroid belt in a nearby system. The Ka'Leigh were prisoners on their own planet, and they had no way to escape.

The bloackade of New Eden continued for around a century until the USS-Magellan entered the New Eden System on a charting mission. After a hostile first meeting with the Ka'Leigh, the Magellan command staff and the Ka'Leigh Senate had a meeting in which the Senate asked the Magellan to destroy the Star Shield Generator. Through use of ships weapons, fighters, and a shuttle with a warp core breech the Magellan was able to destroy the Starfield Generator and free Valara from her prison.

With the Dominion threat a possibility again and with nobody else to turn to the Ka'Leigh turned to Commander Valentine for entrance into the United Confederation of Interstellar Planets, specifically the Federation. Upon talking to his superiors Commander Valentine, acting as an Ambassador accepted the Ka'Leigh into the Confederation under the conditions that, several starships would be dispatched to the Gamma Quadrant to help in the protection of New Eden, and that a starbase would be set up in orbit of New Eden in order to further protect the planet.

Currently both the USS-Magellan and USS-Ticonderoga are in close proximity of New Eden awaiting the arrival of a Confederation Engineering team who are to survey the system and decide what sort of base would be preferable, but a base will be set up and it will be set up soon. Several reports of an SSS squad have also been reported, but nothing has been confirmed.

In return for Starfleet and Confederation assistance, the Ka'Leigh have offered to share their knowledge of the Gamma quadrant, knowledge of the Dominion and technical knowledge (For example they have superior Weather Control Systems, higher efficiency on matter/anti-matter reactions, and a lot more).
