Tabula Rasa anomaly

 
   

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.
