Editing Aelasan (section)

== History ==
* In the 22nd century/early 23rd century, the ancient Aelasans were warp-capable spacefarers controlling a powerful empire. Their technological level rivalled the early Federation, the [[Romulan Star Empire]] and the [[Klingon Empire]].
* During that time the ancients suffered from infighting and were threatened with destruction. King [[Aelas]] then reformed their civilization: They returned to a tribal, largely technology-free lifestyle, only keeping communication devices and records to allow for contact with aliens.
* The [[Romulan]]s chose not to conquer the topaline-rich world of Aelas IV.
* In [[2409]] both the [[KDF]], represented by Captain [[Ja'rod]] of the {{IKS|Kang}}, and [[Starfleet]], represented by Fleet Admiral [[Leonard James Akaar]], were invited to meet with the Elder Chief in order to negotiate mining rights for the planet's rich deposits of topaline. At the same time the comet ''Sky Demon'' threatened the planet and the Chief Elder decided to have the two [[faction]]s compete for the resources. A Starfleet ship succeeded in the destruction of the comet, earning the Aelasans' gratitude and friendship as well as the rights to mine the topaline.
