What Is A "ciadan"?

posted on November 29th, 2005, 2:09 pm

As all, well, most of you know, I'm not the biggest Trekkie...Now on the "Future releases" it says the "Dominion, Iconian and Ciadan" for three more races. I've heard of the Iconians and obviously know a lot about the Dominion, but what are the Ciadan? anyone have an image of a "Ciadan" ship? I know this is kind of out of the blue, are they somthing the dev. team made up or are they an actual race that I've just never heard of?

The ciadan are a fictional race made up by the FO team, if you do a forum search there used to be a few storylines for them knocking about.

I can't find any other entires on them, but IIRC their race will only use Dilithium for ship production, and i think i remember a vague comment about them being a warrior race like the Klingons.

Jan * Jan slaps Eufnoc around a bit with a large trout!

I love that script Fish slaps no slaps back mg:

How can you only use dilitium? that would make their ships made of dilithium too mg: that'd suck, we couldn't attack them, they'd take out the entire sector isn't dilitium like...unstable? I mean it's used to power the ships right? (Sorry, no Idea how a warp core works ) matter anti-matter reactions and dilitium comes in there at one point...so it must explode...or something...mg:

But that's what makes it a challange...

Nah, they probably have some mind-boggling particle acceleration tech for converting other materials from Dilithium. Either that or the dilithium is traded during construction for other things.

If it is particle accelleration (which i'm an immense fan of), then they can expect a visit from me and some "freinds"...

...We are one...

Dilitihium comes in shape of crystals.
It's used to focus the energy plasma that is created by the M/AM reaction (anti-hydrogen and deuterium).

It degrades over time, but the 24th century starfleet starships have auto-regenerating technology that realigns the crystal.

So dilitihium is far from being unstable.

So it's like the focusing crystal on a lightsaber, interesting, it focus the energy from the diatium energy cell into the emitter...hmm, thanks Commander White, didn't know that.
