A Darkening Morality.
Extract from The History of Interstellar Wars. Written by Karl Waterstone. 4901.
The Xee'l, empire builders and mercilessly evil, met the Federation in the early decades of their reconnaissance's of Andromeda. It was similar to the 22nd century encounters with the Romulans, cold war, hostilities, intrigue…..before full blown war.
The Xee'l war was probably one of the most truly bloody wars in Federation history, it lasted for a period of 9 years. The reason it lasted for so long was because of the sheer stubbornness of the Xee'l, their strategic genius which matched the Zakdorn, their brutality even superseded the Jem'Hadar and the Klingons.
The Xee'l launched assaults on many of the federation colonies, wiping out millions. The Xee'l used a combination of nanite and mutagenic weapons, which wiped out all life from the planets instantly. The Federation citizens called for newer and more vicious weapons, so the Federation, buckling under the sheer pressure started working on making genetic weapons based on the bristle hairs of a Xee'l.
The Federation launched the attack in two ways - one, atmospheric bombardment, two, inoculating Xee'l with the diseases. For the first time, the Federation's moralities became more and more similar to the Dominion. The Dominion Had mercilessly used biogenic weapons before in its dark and twisted reign.
The whole Xee'l race, wiped out, their resources were used to restore the Federation and give it a boost in technology.
For the sinners became even more perverted.
