ok, the Ciadan history is a bit complex but i will try to summarize it.
The Ciadan home planat, which they call Kaseidron, was originally in the delta quadrant of our galaxy, what is today borg space.
Before intelligent life appear on Kaseidron, it was affected by a sub space shockwave from the dying sun of the planatary system. These special shockwave, unique in the whole universe, caused Kaseidron to break out of its orbit and shifted it into subspace. This was, how Kaseidron began his lonly travel through subspace.
During this travel the first intelligent species evolved on the nearly water covered planet. The Ciadan.
The Ciadan society lived peacefuly and in their.. very special way (also looking very similar to humans, their behavior is quite strange.. some call it naive, some crazy, some ...) until they found out that kaseidron will end its travel in some time and drop out of subspace. This was the time when they realized, that their true home system is far away. Kaseidron ended its travel in the Andromeda galaxy.
The Ciadan, only being 1000 jears old, had impressiv tehnological capabilities. They developed a special medicament which allows them to survive on 'normal' space.
After 300 jears of development, exploration and expansion (andromeda shows itself quite empty) the Ciadan began an impressive project. They constructed a giant spaceship to travel to our galaxy and find out their true home planet. Cause of their sub space warpdrives they reached our galaxy 400 jears later...
But they where unable to locate the location of their true home system, therefore they settled on a planet in the deep alpha quadrant, which they call Herdantron. They constructed a giant Dysons Sphere arround it, using the Mothership as a basic platform.
mh, many will now happen in the alpha quadrant
but if there will be a single player campaign for Fleet Operations you will learn it there
If its sure there won't be one i will wirte complex storys to every race for you
The Ciadan are scientists. They have their very special why to research.. simply trying, like a child playing with bricks. This techique was very successful till know, so the Ciadan can access a large area of highly advanced technology.
For example no Ciadan vessel has its single energy sorce. All vessels are linke through subspace with a energy battery, which provides the necessary energy to operate it.
The Ciadan computer network, called "database" is a similar construction, but they use organic processors, as they would call them, to process all the stuff. This "organic processors" are simply humans, vulkans, romulans or even borg, what ever they find in the universe.
The Ciadan hacking capabilities are impressive and they can override most starships for a short time or, under usage of special techniques, even permanent.
A great disadvantage for the Ciadan are the Ciadan themselves. Cause they lack any kind of sexual instinct their population is very low. Also their body strange is very weak they can easily be boarded. To avoid this, the Ciadan have developed several starships which are run without crew but through a database uplink, so they cannot be boarded.
mh, this are a few of the aspects from this lovely little race
i will tell you more in time
