}}The '''Malon''' are an economically-motivated humanoid species of the Delta Quadrant's [[Gradin Belt]]. Technologically advanced, they have prioritised the wealth and infrastructure of the many affluent corporations within the Cooperative over most other personal or interstellar concerns, resulting in a tendency for difficult and dangerous work conditions and practices of interstellar waste dumping.
 
  
== Political Structure ==
+
==CR-718==
Not much is known of the Malon's government. Heads and representatives of powerful corporations appear to be the main or sole members of the Cooperative's legislature. With this authority they have jealously guarded their own interests, such as by obstructing the development of cleaner technologies due to the profit in the waste export industry. It is likely the Cooperative has regulated the use of technology and business practices within Malon space, as Malon Prime is considered one of the most beautiful planets in the quadrant. However, working conditions on Malon ships and the unrestricted waste dumping suggests there are areas of business or space where corporations do as they please in pursuit of profit.

Relay Station CR-718 is a ''Marconi''-class subspace communications relay and hub station intended for 2nd-tier communications trunkline usage as well as sector communications coordination. CR-718 is placed on the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] side of the [[Badlands]] to serve the coreward regions of the Bajor Sector not served by the communications hub within the Bajor system itself. The station also serves as the first station in the relay chain installed across the Badlands to provide constant near-realtime communications with Deep Space 47. CR-718's increased transmission power and sensitive receiver array allowed for materials savings of 2 whole unmanned arrays across the badlands, greatly reducing maintenance requirements as well for the teams responsible for ensuring the Badlands Chain is operational with a 99% uptime expectation.
  
Personal opinions of some Malon suggest there exists opposition to the Cooperative's waste dumping and poor treatment of its workers, but Starfleet does not know how much of a foothold this movement has in politics or society.

{{clear}}
  
These waste-dumping practices have left them unpopular and isolated within the Gradin Belt, and Malon interstellar policy reflects this. They have demonstrated little interest in engaging with other political powers, though individual Malon ships or corporations may find some profit in business arrangements. In pursuit of waste dumping, Malon infrastructure and presence can be found over vast regions of the Delta Quadrant.

Prior to the collapse of the Star Empire of Rator and the Romulan Star Empire before it, Daloon IV was a sleepy world within the Empire's borders. A sizable population of a few hundred million for the most part have survived the ebb and flow of history over the centuries by simply being mostly forgettable in the grand scheme of things.
  
== Society ==
+
No critically important mineral resources, slightly above average agricultural output, respectable but not leading edge education facilities - all things that conspired to keep Daloon a worthy prize, but not at the forefront of anyone's strategic thinking. No senators of conquering heroes ever hailed from Daloon, nor particularly well-off families on the scale of those that pulled the strings of the Empire. Daloon was big enough to avoid serving the Empire, but not being enough to be served by the Empire.  
The Malon have a strong sense of civic duty and pride in their people, both of which have resulted in at least unspoken hierarchies within their society. Other species and their ways of life are considered less valuable, as the Malon have at all costs protected the beauty of their homeworld by exporting and dumping the dangerous antimatter waste produced by their technology. While the Malon as a rule attempt to find uninhabited regions for this dumping, this does not always happen and is not always respected by individual ships or corporations; the wellbeing of those people is less important than their profit, or the preservation of their homeworld.  
 
  
The Malon prize this work so highly that a dangerous job in the waste export industry pays more in one contract than a Malon sculpture could earn in a year. As this risk to life and limb has been considered worthwhile by several Malon, either the waste export industry pays exceptionally well, or the arts are paid particularly poorly - perhaps both. Waste dumping is also considered a far more important civic duty to protect the homeworld, and a professional culture has developed around the work. Waste-dumping ships have their own traditions and even their own superstitions, such as the Vihaar, a mythical monster that wreaks havoc within waste export vessels.  
+
Rulership of Daloon was handled by an Imperial Magistrate, appointed by the Senate with the recommendation of the outgoing magistrate and typically handled as 'business as usual'. The last three centuries saw the position of magistrate fall into the hands of a local patrician family, the L'rilt family, maintaining power through a careful mixture of well-managed government, grooming capable successors and seeing less-desirable heirs sent off to do their duty to the Empire and hopefully discover a life for themselves in the more metropolitan centres.
  
== Military ==
+
===Fall of the Rator Empire===
There have been no encounters between Starfleet and a formal Malon military. As their freighters have to cover vast distances and may face opposition to their operations, they appear to be well-armed and well-protected for vessels of commerce, and are commanded by a captain with the title 'Waste Controller.' They are particularly well-shielded against anti-matter radiation and have been known to weaponise their waste against enemies. It is possible there exists no formal Malon armed forces, with security and border protection the purview of Malon corporations.
 
  
== In Play ==
+
===Current Poilitical Situation===
 +
Daloon IV has entered a brave new political era, free of the Star Empire of Romulus or Rator. With the recent ratification by the People's Assembly of the '''Founding Principals and Actions Declaration''' (FPAD), serving as the first of Daloon's principal governmental documents, Daloon IV has started the process of crafting its own governmental regime. The Declaration, while not a full constitution, was drafted to allow the newly formed government to form certain political offices and set the guidelines that are dictating the processes for follow-up documents.
  
* Malon ships in the Gradin Belt are likely to be waste export freighters, either shipping waste for dumping or scouting for new potential dumping regions. While a Malon ship may try to avoid dumping waste in an inhabited region, some Waste Controllers are too desperate or unscrupulous to care.
+
Reaching an accord between two of the larger political groups, Daloon IV has adopted a co-governance model between the old magisterial family, elevated to the newly formed position of Princeps, and a popularly elected official who also carries the title of Princeps for a period of six local years (7.5 Standard Years). The latter is commonly referred to as the People's Princeps by Daloon's fledgling media services at this time. By the terms set in the FPAD, both Princeps are equal in rank and authority, with a veto from either enough to end a piece of legislation without a supermajority of the newly formed Senate to override. A veto from both requires a unanimous Senate vote followed by a majority plebiscite to overrule.
* Similarly, the Malon consider themselves expert salvagers, and will likely take any opportunity to scavenge for useful or profitable technology.
 
* The Malon are not aggressive as a rule, but they have little interest in or value for non-Malons. They will not hesitate to steal their technology under these salvage claims if they deem it worth their while. Similarly, several accidents have occurred in the Gradin Belt where the Malon fled accidents aboard their own ships, the resulting antimatter explosions causing massive damage to any nearby while the Malon crews saved themselves.
 
  
=External Information =
+
While the Principes form the Heads of State, the FPAD lays out provisions for a Head of Government to arise from the Senate. This position, the Secretary-General, is charged with the day-to-day running of the government and answers to the Principes in all matters currently.

While eschewing joining the Romulan Republic at this time, the largest and most stable of the interstellar powers nearby, Daloon has entered into a cautious close association agreement with the Republic. Republic vessels are free to visit and a small resupply station has been allowed to be constructed in orbit though construction has yet to begin. The number of visiting ships is also a contested point in Daloon-Republic relations while Daloon seeks to modernise the planetary defences that Starfleet brought online recently.
 +
 
 +
Daloon's own industrial and agricultural base does allow it some leeway in building a platform of influence amongst its neighbours, especially those still outside of the Republic. While more conservative groups may wish to focus purely on Daloon's own needs and wants, radical and forward-thinking elements of the government, including both Principes, are not blind to the possibility of 'building the peace' by helping out their neighbours in an effort to build a bubble around Daloon and perhaps make it a logical regional centre should Daloon ever join the Republic. At a minimum local stability and curtailing the rise of malcontents is a desired goal for Daloon's own security concerns.
 +
 
 +
With both Starfleet and Republic assistance, Daloon has purchased a number of small craft to assist in planetary defence and trade protection. The newly formed Daloon Guard incorporates elements of the planet's previous garrison and guard forces and is supplemented currently by advisors from both the Republic and Starfleet.

}}'''Ayer's Rock''' is a marginally habitable M-class world on the Federation-Klingon border in the Archanis sector.

While considered to be the planetary capital, for most of the population spread around Ayer's Rock it is just as distant as the Federation is from their daily lives.
