United Planets of Tellar

Flag of the United Planets of Tellar

The United Planets of Tellar is the state for the Tellarite civilization, which is centered around their homeworld of Tellar. The alliance was one of the five founding member states of the United Federation of Planets, having signed the Articles of the Federation on 12 August 2161, and is comprised of the thirteen worlds settled by the Tellarites prior to the signing.

History

• By 1892: The Tellarites have established colonies within their star system, on Rukor, Sivel, and Varagas, and three of Boragus' moons.

• 1892: Warp drive is invented on Tellar Prime by Garas.

Decipher's Worlds sourcebook says this happened in 1967, but that would invalidate the presence of Tellarites outside their system (as from ENT's "Carbon Creek"), as well as having warp capability in the 1950s.

• August 03, 2030: First contact between the Tellarites and Rigelian traders, whereby the former learn of the Orions.

• 2073: The SS Leif Eirickson arrives in the Tellar system, marking first contact between the Tellarites and Humans.

• By 2142: The United Planets have a number of extrasystem colonies, including on Duroc, Glissa, Imprek, Inferna Prime, and Tak.

• 2155: Alpha Centauri, Andor, Earth, Tellar, Vulcan, and minor worlds (including Axanar and Kaferia) approve a first draft agreement for an alliance to be formed for trade, cultural exchange, and mutual protection.

• 2161: The governments of Alpha Centauri, Andor, Earth, Tellar, and Vulcan sign the Articles of the Federation; Tellar Prime joins the United Federation of Planets.

• 2218: A Tellarite nationalist group, similar to Earth First, starts to gain support, due in part to increasing Klingon hostility.

Agencies

• Tellar Space Administration: the defense, interstellar commerce, and regulatory authority

• Tellarite Mining Consortium: an agency that regulates Tellarite freighters

Ship Roster

Based on the Tellarites and Humans stumbling on each other's home system simultaneously, I'm interpreting that as Tellar being not too much more advanced technologically than Earth. Therefore, the following ships will be their best and recent designs.

• Degbaxis class frigate (2083 - 2180)
• G'buqoff class freighter (2118 - 2271)
• Kuhulkka class gunboat (2148 - 2236)
• Phinda class cruiser (2155 - 2181)
• Pralim class transport/escort (2139 - 2199)
• Tuverlind class scoutship (2145 - 2227)
