Gorn Hegemony

While they mostly kept to their own space, Gorn starships fly trading routes throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. They were known to have connections with the Orion Syndicate and the Ferengi Alliance. Other than an encounter with Captain James T. Kirk and some other isolated incidents, Starfleet and the Gorn had few dealings. We knew their technological capabilities are similar to our own, though the Hegemony was dwarfed by the size of the Federation. Still, Intelligence believed that the Gorn could be a useful ally, or, if pressed, a devilish foe. See also Gorn.
