    I actually wonder if they aren't already involved in a major war of some sort with someone on their coreward front, it would explain why they haven't been seen down our way, and why they reacted so oddly if they really were trying to identify if we were friend or foe.

    Of course the trick there is to figure out if we ran into the good guys or the bad guys first

    Perhaps they are in a cold war with the Ferengi. That might explain their confusion at our friendly overtures, and not wanting to communicate until they held the advanatge.

    They might have been burnt by being overly trusting of ther starfarers in the past, and now are very cautious of first contacts.

    Did we ever get a commander profile on Straak?
     
    Aren't the Obar corewards of the Honiani? Maybe they've had contact with this Commonwealth? It does make it less likely for them to be the Tauni's ex-overlord since both the Honiani and the Obar seem to be in the way between them.
     
    @OneirosTheWriter

    The new update to the EC/Veteran ships list forgot Igata Nikelda's +1 S to the Sarek, forgot the Huascar's +1 P, and leaves out listings for several other effects that are applied.

    I've updated my listing here with Straak's departure - just use that.

    For all we know these are the Tauni overlords and they were wonder how much we knew until Courageous sat there big dumb and happy enough for them to assume that we have nothing on them. The Tauni might not have had a total defeat of an equalish power, perhaps they simply were able to declare independence and send the local occupation fleet back to base.

    The Hounani are out that way too, the Dylaarians are perhaps odious in their morality and their Cardassian alliance, but they are not intrinsically militaristic or violent, the Yan-Ros barely even have warp independent of their allies.

    It's.... something here bothers me and I can't put my finger on it.

    It might be that Commonwealth is oftentimes used in reference to the former colonies of the British Empire. While they were under the control of Great Britain, they were known as Dominions.

    Absolutely worst case scenario, "interstellar commonwealth" is adapted from "universal union," aka the fucking combine.

    Probably not, though.

    I think that might be part of my issue, honestly, this is a single species polity using such a broad and universal term for their single people. Like, it'd be like the European Union deciding to call itself the "GLOBAL DIRECTORATE" inexplicably. Even if it's a choice made totally innocently it is very offputting.

    The UPF is a united federation of some planets, not THE GALACTIC FEDERATION. Even the Romulans, in all of their Hubris, merely style themselves as The Empire of the Romulan People, and not THE GLORIOUS HARBINGER OF UNIVERSAL ROMULAN SUPREMACY. It implies a lack of need for any other polity, for being distinguishable with others. And coming from a powerful single species polity obviously surrounded by other species it's Just A Tad Ominous.

    EDIT: It'd be fine out of someone that had never encountered another space faring race before, and were new to space themselves, but a large empire in this area of space can't possibly take advantage of that leeway.

    It's also entirely possible, since nobody said, that their ships aren't nearly a match for an Excelsior and the fact we followed them home scared them.

    Then there is the possibility that they are actually a splinter from a much larger faction. Interstellar Commonwealth is likely derived from the Commonwealth of Nations, so if these are the colonies, where is the coloniser?

    Yeah, but if they have multiple systems under their control, "Interstellar" is entirely valid as a descriptor.
    And "Commonwealth", while in our RL context pretty much only being British, is a pretty generic term.

    I mean, it's not I guess "the best name". But it doesn't come off as any more ominous than anything else?

    Godspeed, USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B.
    You are gone, but will never be forgotten.
    Your legacy will live on in the lives saved and lives changed, in the memories made.
    Your name will be born anew, to sail the stars once more.

    Isn't Virginia still a Commonwealth? Also there was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as well. Even in the British context I thought of Cromwell's Commonwealth before the Commonwealth of Nations when I read the term.
