History

Very little is known for certain about the ancient civilisation known as the Tkon Empire. The empire existed over 600,000 years ago, with an estimated population of several trillion lifeforms spread out across hundreds of worlds. Federation xeno-archaeologists theorise that the Tkon Empire was ruled from an as yet unnamed throne world, located in what is now Sector 009.

Time for the Tkon Empire was separated into specific ‘ages’ such as Bastu, Cimi, Xora and Makto. It is believed that Makto was the final age of the Tkon Empire, and it is theorised that during this time, the star of the system which contained the Tkon throne world went supernova, which precipitated the end of the long-lived civilisation.

Technology

The Tkon were highly technologically advanced and some theorists suggest that the race developed the ability to move stars using this technology. The Tkon used planets as outposts to defend their territory, and these outposts were populated by incredibly powerful guardians known as Portals. The powers attributed to these Portals included being able to halt the progress of a starship in space and to read the minds of other lifeforms through limited telepathic abilities.

Federation First Contact

At least one of these Portals survived the demise of the Tkon Empire and was encountered in 2364 by the crew of the Enterprise-D on the fourth planet of the Delphi Ardu system. The being identified itself as Portal 63 and the Starfleet crew quickly realised that the Portal had been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years. This was the first recorded contact between the Federation and the extinct Tkon Empire. At the conclusion of this encounter, Portal 63 declared that he would sleep again until needed and vanished.
