Thanks!
The United Alliance of Worlds is comprised of a mix of expatriate colony worlds and several new species that were introduced just for my game.
Human, Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite, Caitian, Klingon & Romulan are all represented.
New races include the Jen, an avian race; the Aquarians, an aquatic species; the Shalka, reptilian; the Avtherians, basically a humanoid pterodactyl race and the Zveans, a human-offshoot with high psionic ability.
The idea is that many Federation races had colonies beyond Klingon & Romulan space before those empires expanded & cut them off from contact.
Several decades, later a few retired Starfleet officers had joined together to explore the possibilities of these lost colonies. They arrived just as the Klingons & Romulans were moving into that region. They were able to negotiate the founding of the Independent Systems Alliance, later to be renamed the United Alliance of Worlds.
Many years of cool roleplay have happened since.
I started it out in the early 1980s set a few years after Star Trek II/III/IV, and moved it into the Next Generation Era around 1990.
Obviously, it's a non-canon addition to the Star Trek Universe, but I've tried to see that it keeps the essential 'flavor' of Star Trek & that it doesn't conflict TOO badly.
