Editing Tholian (section)

Contact with the Tholians over the next century would be sporadic. In 2353, the Tholians destroyed a [[Federation]] starbase. The only survivor of this attack was Kyle Riker, the father of Starfleet Commander William T. Riker. (TNG: "The Icarus Factor") 

This attack was said to have taken place during "The Tholian Conflict," placing it within a larger political context and implying that the incident was not isolated. 
The frequency of Tholian attacks would remain sufficient enough for [[Starfleet]] to develop Tholian-based battle simulations. In 2355, during one such simulation, William T. Riker used a notable strategy to calculate a sensory blind spot on a Tholian vessel. (TNG: "Peak Performance") 

They would remain a threat well into the 2360s, when it was anticipated by [[Klingon]] Special Emissary K'Ehleyr that if a Klingon Civil War were to break out in 2367, the Tholians might eventually be involved. This fear, however, did not come to light when the civil war broke out months later. (TNG: "Reunion")
