Tabula Rasa (latin words,
means literally: 'White Card') it's an anomalous subspace, which emerged
when fatal Romulan experiment were commenced. It consists of about 40 worlds. The details how and why
the
experiment failed are irrelevant. More important is why these systems
were, for many, many tousands of years, hidden. The obvious Federation
questions are: who, why and for what? While the Federation tries to find the
answers for these questions, Klingon and Romulan aims differ. Klingon Empire,
running out of dilithium, sees a great opportunity to replenish their
diminishing resource storages and to gain some more honour, by fighting
unnecessary skirmishes with everyone who oppose to them. Romulan Star Empire tries to claim all of
these worlds, because it was they who caused these systems to appear and
what more, the anomaly worlds are located at the Romulan side of Neutral Zone, so there
shouldn't be any doubts who has rights to these worlds in the first place.
So the conflict is inevitable. But, of course, no one even asked about these
worlds their native people. Millennia ago, the Hubrin and Metar were bitter
enemies and their war raged across a tousands of systems. The Hubin were on
the verge of total defeat and in desperation built a special weapon -
Anomaly Device. The AD ripped the part of fabric of space and drag the Metar and
the Hubrin into anomalous pocket of sealed space. The Metar could not escape
and more importantly they were distanced from the ambient energy of normal
space. As this is the source of all Metar powers, they were forced to
hibernate or die. They sought refugee in vast stasis fields, which they
created the Taubat to maintain. So, as you can see, the Taubat are nothing
more than a Metar's slaves who treat their masters like a gods. Hubrin is the
ancient race of proud warriors, who could not stand Metar's constant
evolution process and increasing threat from them. The Hubrin now are also
aware that the Federation, Klingon and Romulan goals will always be opposed
and they are exploiting these divisions. As for Metar, these organic
creatures (because all of them is organic - buildings, vehicles, no matter)
have the ability to specialize at will and genetically modify their
bodyforms over a single generation. Since anomalous planets are again in
normal space and the link with ambient energy of normal space is present,
the Metar woked up from their stasis hibernation and now developing a new
casts within their underground hives, specifically tailored to respond
to Federation, Klingon and Romulan kinds of weapons. Federation, Klingons
and Romulans must learn to cooperate, because awoken, furious Metar
has only one goal: to conquer the entire Alpha Quadrant, so the price is galaxy's
very survival..... |

Anomaly planets
Tabula Rasa mostly consists from M class planets
rich in dilithium deposits, since it's
original 3 species didn't have technology to refine these minerals.

Target: Tabula Rasa
It is obvious when anomaly worlds emerged
from it's anomalous space, they would be a great target for Empires from 'normal'
part of space.
