Essaians
The Essaians are a -1X Nation living in the Beta Ngobe Star Cluster in the Triangle. In the 15th Century, they came very close to becoming a full Star Nation, with a Warp Ship Completed and almost ready for testing, but numerous wars and cannibalizing the nine other (mostly Class D and F) planets in the system to make a round shield against radiation from a supernova caused the race to collapse into a state of barbarism for several centuries, finally recovering thanks to the Tyrant, Sai-ume uniting the tribes of the planet, although 20 years later, some rebels headed by M'gazhe rose up to overthrow him and forge a new starfaring future for their people.

This resembles a small Klingon D-7 Battlecruiser, with a squashed, ovular command pod, and two simple, cylindrical nacelles held ventrally from two thin, rectangular pylons close to the ship's hull. It was an experimental ship that was preserved for centuries with little idea of what to do with it, until the survivers of the D-7C Class IKS K'Vinta came and after settling the Essaian Rebellion in July, 2285, took this Warpship back to Klinzhai with info on the Essaians, and vast, mineral-rich asteroid belts and debris near the Essaian Homeworld.
