Outline of Untitled ZungAlexia Story
Version 22
(12 SEP 2023)
Timeframe
ZungAlexia Date: 02 Sena-14 Ocktub 199 UA
Earth Date: 02 June-14 August 2381 CE, Stardate 58418.0—58617.0 (approximate)
Location
Milky Way Galaxy, Beta Quadrant—two separate unexplored sectors (as defined by Federation Standards) outside Federation space; approximately 10,750 light-years from Earth.
Background
The ZungAlexian Star System lies within the Beta Quadrant, approximately 10,780 light-years from Sol
(our sun). Ten planets (five terrestrials, three gas giants and two ice giants), four dwarf planets and an asteroid
belt orbit a yellow dwarf star, similar to Sol, at the center of this star system. Of the five terrestrial planets, the
third and fourth planets developed Nitrogen–Oxygen atmospheres similar to Earth’s with plant and animal life
developing on both. However, on the third planet a humanoid species evolved on it. This species evolved and developed
very similar to Homo sapiens (Humans) on Earth and would eventually call themselves ZungAlexian and their sun
ZungAlexia.
ZungAlexian appearance is very similar to humans. They are also anatomically and physiologically similar to
humans but have a lifespan that is typically one and a half to two times longer than humans with some ZungAlexians
living even longer. Also, within the star system’s total population of about 20 billion, only about 2,500 individuals
have the abilities of telekinesis, telepathy or both.
The governmental authority of the star system is the United Republic of ZungAlexia (URZA) which is a united
federal constitutional republic; consisting of three branches: Legislative, Executive and Judicial. The government has
its modern roots in the Union of Federal Alexandrian Republics and its constitution which was enforce from the years
113 to 449 of the Era of Defiance [EoD] (1845-2181 CE). The United Republic’s ancient roots date back approximately
3,000 years, before the founding of the Federal Republic of Zungzamia which itself eventually became the Imperium of
Zungzamia.
Alien Contact
The ZungAlexians have had three major contacts with aliens. All three have involved an interstellar
government known as the United Federation of Planets. First Contact occurred in the year 138 EoD (1870 CE), about 100
years before the fall of the Imperium. This contact was never publicly disclosed to Imperial citizens nor was it known
to the Federation.
Second Contact took place in 288 EoD (2020 CE), 175 years after the formation of the Union of Federal
Alexandrian Republics (UFAR). UFAR publicly declared the contact however; this contact was also unknown to the
Federation.
The third contact took place in the year 199 of the Unity Age [UA] (2381 CE), nearly 200 years after the
formation of the United Republic of ZungAlexia. This contact was known to the citizens of ZungAlexia and eventually
all citizens of the Federation.
Present Time
URS Enterprise (RSC-1701) representing the URZA encounters USS Mariner (NCC-74915)
representing the United Federation of Planets, in unexplored star system 105 light years from ZungAlexia. This
encounter marks the Federation’s first official contact with ZungAlexia.
The URZA and Federation ships head to ZungAlexia. Following the arrival of the two ships to the system,
ZungAlexian government officials meet with Federation ship’s senior officers.
A State Dinner takes place. During the dinner, the United Republic Home Sector Force attempts a government
overthrow (coup d’état); invading the Legislative and Executive capital cities, directly attacking the URZA’s Starfleet
Headquarters located near the Executive capital’s city limits and other government buildings. The attempted overthrow
is backed by the space fleet of the Imperium of Zungzamia. The military uses robots/androids to fight the bulk of the
ground battle.
