== The Typhon Pact ==

For the Cardassians, the Breen, and the Son’a, the Dominion War ended in failure and humiliation. Their armies were broken and the victors demanded heavy reparations, particularly the Klingons and Romulans. Things got so bad that pirates and raiders became a genuine concern to Cardassian infrastructure. The Federation supplied some humanitarian aid but it was slow and minimal. While they didn’t want to see Cardassian civilians suffer, they were wary of trickery and had to consider their Klingon allies as well – some of which were the very raiders involved.

Not too long after, the former Dominion powers declared a new mutual defense treaty. Joined by the Tzenkethi Coalition and negotiated in secret aboard the Tzenkethi dreadnought C.S.S. Typhon within the Rolor Nebula, the four factions soon became jointly known as the Typhon Pact. 


'''Politics'''<br>
Allegedly, the Pact is limited to defense and cooperation. And so far, mostly, they seem to have concerned themselves with border security and rebuilding their military. But people are worried. What will the Pact do when they run out of pirates?


'''Technology'''<br>
As a whole, the Pact has access to a vast array of different technologies. But of course, the Pact is not a single entity. The Breen have access to certain weapons whereas the Tzenkethi have access to different ones, and so forth. They don’t seem too keen on sharing (and there’s simple non-compatibility issues) which keeps the Pact divided.


'''Strategy'''<br>
Unknown. The Pact so far doesn’t seem to have a single unified goal beyond self-defense. But given that most of its individual members are prone to saber-rattling and have had their pride hurt recently, it might only be a matter of time before the Pact seizes upon a casus belli to justify an expansion under the guise of "self-defense".
