Tholians as a playable race?

we havent seen Tholians sense TOS and the mirror Universe episodes of Ent.  but I dont think it would be hard at all to come up with ships and tech for the timeframe FO operates in.  any thoughts on this?

The Tholians

In the Fleet Operations Universe the Tholians are no longer a major stellar power. They live in a handful of colonies spread across three solar systems. They have an intact peace treaty with both the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire for more than three hundred years now and do trade here and there. However, because the Tholians are more "spiritual" creatures living in crystals with no exact material body, most of their trade goods are of no use to other species and likewise they do not need stuff like food, ale and spare parts. They are a cast-away and isolated race, happy with their peace and silence. Until one day...

The Tholians will play a large role in the Fleet Operation's storyline and thus will be featured as a major non playable faction. They will be able to access advanced and unique technologies, including special abilities which are similar to the Tholian Web in The Original Series.
