Name: The Covenant Desc: The Covenant is a collection of races united by their central religion. It could be considered an Atheistic or Deistic religion because they do not believe in gods. Instead they worship the universe as a whole, and believe that all life should be united in one group, theirs.
They span across the Delta Quadrant as a large powerful force there, and include a number of races. They are a hierarchical faction. With whole races being deemed 'blessed' and other races being condemned as lowly servants, or worse, deemed unworthy and exterminated for the 'greater good' They are also an advanced faction by Delta Quadrant standards.
Races Include: Tel'nath Delkath Rievith Nith'gal Other races have been subjugated but are not standard aboard their ships.
Ships:
Their ships tend to be large, slow, but incredibly durable. Unlike most races ships their design, and power systems tend to mean they don't explode, rather they drift burned and damaged, but relatively intact.
Another oddity of their design is their weapons. Their Weapons can adapt, fireing plasma, Ion, or even Anti-Protons at relitivistic speeds, causeing great damage.
Beyond this is their extrensive use of smallcraft, shuttles, fighters, boardingcraft etc.
