THOLIANS
The Tholian Assembly is located "north" of the Klingon Empire, on the "northeast" border with the Federation. The Tholians are some sort of crystalline beings with a hive mind who live under conditions of extreme heat and pressure.
Their ships are capable of spinning a kind of force field web that can cocoon a starship and then disable it. Tholians are hostile, territorial, and punctual to a fault. They have shown no interest in maintaining good relations with the Federation, and, though territorial and xenophobic, are nonetheless somewhat expansionistic. Their technology, though unknown, seems slightly inferior to that of the Federation, and they would be no match for the Federation in an all-out war.
However, the Federation has never been willing or able to launch such a war, and so border raids and sneak attacks by the Tholians remain common. Given the end of the Dominion war the Tholians may become a force to be reckoned with.
Tholians sometimes engage in trade, when it suits them. They produce a silk that is highly valued in the Federation.
