Editing Tch'Kairn (section)

==The Tch'Kairn Underground==

Due to their non-violent culture and nature, there was little resistence offered to the Waagoshin's conquest. The 'long-snouts' destroyed those Tch'Kairn ships that attempted to flee their world. One such battle site was discovered by the [[USS Hades]]. Over time, the Waagoshin began to become more aggressive and brutal as their empire through strength grew and flourished.

Eventually this led to the drastic displeasure of some elements of the Tch'Kairn populace, who formed the [[Tch'Kairn Resistance]]. By 2408, the underground numbered a few hundred thousand Tch'Kairn world-wide and was led by a male named [[K'Thartek]].

It was his small local band of Rebels that had discovered the ancient distress signal located in an even more ancient fortress thousands of years old. His band repaired the more modern power systems and through the aid of collaborators managed to acquire necessary intelligence to allow them to reactivate the distress beacon on a schedule that would not be detected by the Waagoshin fleet.

K'thartek admitted that he had killed  Waagoshin soldiers and other members of their species, although he was not proud of it. He saw the distress beacon as a means to convince another species to intercede on the behalf of the Tch'Kairn.  He was gambling on the Waagoshin's barbaric and agressive territorial nature to create and incident that would catalyze the responding species resolve.
