}}The '''Kazon Collective''', sometimes known as the Kazon Order, is a loose group of at least sixteen sects whose power and influence can shift rapidly as leaders rise and fall. Historically, the two most powerful sects in terms of military power have been the Ogla and the Relora, while the Nistrim were once powerful and their reach has fallen considerably due to their conflict with the USS ''Voyager''. The Kazon are hostile to almost everyone and have succeeded in making enemies throughout the region. Since they are resource-poor and their society is built around warfare, they frequently raid other cultures for food and resources including water. The Kazon were long subjugated by the [[Trabe]] until they overthrew them and took the vast majority of their ships and territory, relegating the Trabe to a nomadic lifestyle.

The Kazon Collective does not have a unified political structure, which is one of the major factors that has kept them from completely dominating the Nacene Reach. Internal conflicts and internecine strife have largely kept them in check as much as the military power of other races has. Leaders in Kazon culture are called 'maje' and the leaders of entire sects are called 'first maje." It is unknown how their current structure relates to their status under the Trabe.

[[File:Kazon_fleet.jpg|200px|right|link=Special:FilePath/Kazon_fleet.jpg]]The Kazon's lack of advanced technology is another reason that they have not amassed more territory or completely taken over their region; it is vastly inferior to the Federation in all respects. Only their largest ships are any real threat one-on-one to Starfleet vessels. En masse, however, they prove to be significantly more problematic. Their ships lack matter-energy transporters and replicators, technologies that they had not even encountered these technologies until ''Voyager'' entered the region. Starfleet has a strict policy of not trading technology with the Kazon to avoid upsetting the balance of power in the region, given that the Kazon have demonstrated a propensity for warfare and conquest, and this has become a sore spot with the Kazon who desperately want the Federation's advanced technologies.

==Societal==

The Kazon are a patriarchal society, with women having almost no role in public life. Almost all males are trained as warriors, with a rite-of-passage at the end of adolescence that earns males the title 'Jal' before their names. Though they are a warrior culture, their society does not have a strict honor code that has been observed like the [[Klingon|Klingons]], nor any particular style of martial arts like the [[Romulan|Romulans]], but rather their sense of progress is merely about defeating one's enemies. Societal dogma is limited and their has been no observed religious influence on Kazon life; Federation scientists suspect that this is because the Trabe eliminated these aspects from Kazon culture while they were enslaved.

[[File:Kazon.jpg|200px|right|link=Special:FilePath/Kazon.jpg]]As noted by Seven of Nine, the Kazon are just as unremarkable for their biology as they are for their technology. They are a Humanoid race with ridges on their foreheads. At least two phenotypes have been observed, one with brown skin and the other with copper-colored skin. Their hair is black or brown and grows in chunks rather than strands.

As the flagship, the ''Verity'' is equipped with a state-of-the-art command-and-control center, which allows for the Commander of Task Force 93 to coordinate between the other ships within the Task Force. Diplomatic capabilities are at the forefront for the Verity, dedicating one whole deck. It is equipped with quarters that are able to house around 400 guests and VIP members, with accommodations for more that do not require an overnight stay. The diplomatic suite is also equipped with a variety of conference spaces designed for different forms of negotiations, and can support remote connection in its holodecks for such meetings.

*In early 2399, The USS ''Apollo'' received a distress call from one of her sister ships, the ''Banting'', which had crashed on a moon in Kazon space during Task Force 38's earliest probes in the region. The nearby presence of the ''Apollo'''s Starfleet IFF had triggered a long-dormant distress call. After fighting through a Kazon patrol, the ''Apollo'' was forced to scuttle the derelict ''Banting'' to avoid allowing the ship to fall into Kazon hands, thus earning them an enemy in the Kazon-Hobii.

The ''Verity'' in particular has been fitted with extensive medical facilities, equipped with two infirmaries, three surgical suites, and three recovery units. This allows her, as the flagship of a humanitarian response unit, to contribute significantly to relief missions she may lead, with significant capacity to support wounded civilian populations.

*The Kazon present a threat to the region, but to Starfleet they are largely a nuisance. A single Kazon ship is not a threat to nearly any player ship in Task Force 38. The problem is that they're rarely alone and can become much more of a threat in large numbers. One of the reasons they're not more of a threat on a larger scale is that they're disorganized, so Starfleet must avoid becoming a significant enough enemy to them that they unify over it.
+
While not matching the offensive tactical capabilities of the Sovereign-class, the Odyssey is one of the most defensively capable Starfleet ships built to date, with wide shield and phaser coverage. This allows the ''Verity'' to take a lead role in even risky operations, able to protect herself and other ships on diplomatic or humanitarian Task Force missions.
*The Kazon want Starfleet's technology and will stop at almost nothing to get it, so Starfleet captains have to be firm-handed in denying them that technology. If replicator or transporter technology fell into Kazon hands, the balance in power of the region would shift dramatically.
+
 
*Unlike the Klingons, their culture has not been explored very fully; ''Voyager'' presents them as not really having much culture-wise. Why is that? Are there parts of Kazon society we haven't seen yet? Do the Kazon have any artists or scientists or farmers? how much of their culture is inherited from/imposed by the Trabe? These are questions that would be great storylines to answer.

Much like the Galaxy-class, it has a saucer section that can detach whenever necessary, revealing two impulse engines. There is also more redundancy between the two hulls compared to earlier vessels.

The ''Verity'' has the ability to fabricate materials needed on relief operations, and extensive cargo space dedicated to storage of necessary medical or other humanitarian supplies.

The USS Verity is one of the two original prototypes for the Odyssey-class explorer. After participating as Admiral Jean-Luc Picard's flagship in the evacuation effort of Romulus up until 2385, the Verity now serves as the flagship of the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 93, a humanitarian response unit. As one of the largest ships in Starfleet, the Verity is well-suited to missions involving the movement of large amounts of equipment and personnel.

Configuration

As the flagship, the Verity is equipped with a state-of-the-art command-and-control center, which allows for the Commander of Task Force 93 to coordinate between the other ships within the Task Force. Diplomatic capabilities are at the forefront for the Verity, dedicating one whole deck. It is equipped with quarters that are able to house around 400 guests and VIP members, with accommodations for more that do not require an overnight stay. The diplomatic suite is also equipped with a variety of conference spaces designed for different forms of negotiations, and can support remote connection in its holodecks for such meetings.

The Verity in particular has been fitted with extensive medical facilities, equipped with two infirmaries, three surgical suites, and three recovery units. This allows her, as the flagship of a humanitarian response unit, to contribute significantly to relief missions she may lead, with significant capacity to support wounded civilian populations.

While not matching the offensive tactical capabilities of the Sovereign-class, the Odyssey is one of the most defensively capable Starfleet ships built to date, with wide shield and phaser coverage. This allows the Verity to take a lead role in even risky operations, able to protect herself and other ships on diplomatic or humanitarian Task Force missions.

Much like the Galaxy-class, it has a saucer section that can detach whenever necessary, revealing two impulse engines. There is also more redundancy between the two hulls compared to earlier vessels. This allows them to operate more fully without one another. The Odyssey also differs as it has two warp cores and sets of warp coils. The Verity has the ability to fabricate materials needed on relief operations, and extensive cargo space dedicated to storage of necessary medical or other humanitarian supplies.

The Verity has two shuttle bays: one massive hanger that spans five decks in the primary hull, and one smaller bay located in the lowest decks of the secondary hull that can support this section while separated. The shuttle bays are equipped with a total of thirty shuttles and four runabouts.

The USS Verity is based out of Devron Fleet Yards that is located in the old Romulan neutral zone. Because of this, it is able to offset the large crewing cost of such a large ship, thus allowing Devron to staff the ship from the starbase itself to project influence throughout the sector.

History

The Verity was rushed into service whilst still a prototype, her vast internal space crudely configured to carry and support the needs of the maximum number of refugees possible for the Romulan evacuation program. The destruction of the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2385 led to the cancellation of the evacuation program, which in turn led to the resignation of Admiral Picard, her then commanding officer.

Verity was recalled to complete her fit-out, however, as Starfleet’s focus had turned inwards and she had proven the usefulness of transporting vast amounts of personnel and equipment, her configuration retained those characteristics instead of being changed to support long-range exploration. In 2390, the USS Verity was relaunched, and in 2399 was assigned to be the flagship of humanitarian response unit Task Force 93, under the command of Task Force Commanding Officer Captain Azras Dex.

On the Month of January, 2400, Captain Gar'arth became the new Commanding Officer for Task Force 93 and USS Verity.

On the Month of April, 2400, Captain Harry Maxwell became the new Commanding Officer for Task Force 93 and USS Verity.
