Since I thought some of you may be curious, here is a little information for you all on the various races/factions that are going to be in YY. I have included the core four and the 5th and 6th factions that I hope we'll include as well after the core four are complete.
Yesteryears is set near the dawn of the 24th Century and sets the place for the changes that will change the Alpha Quadrant from the volatile TMP era to the more peaceful TNG era. In Yesteryears, the Federation-Klingon peace treaty is not even a decade old, and there are still many hostilities between the two powers with border skirmishes still common place although diminishing. Many powers look upon the newly formed treaty as a military build up and are preparing for such an invasion.
[fieldset=UFP/Starfleet]
United Federation of Planets
As interstellar power that has over 150 member planets spanning over 8,000 light years. The Federation isn’t dominated by any one species which has labelled it by many as a mongrel power, but it’s through its diversity that the Federation’s greatest strength can be found. Through mutual cooperation, peaceful co-existence, desire to expand their scientific knowledge and non prejudice that the Federation has become the largest and one of the most powerful super powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
Starfleet
The military and exploration division of the Federation is called Starfleet, whose primary mission is the defence of the Federation, its member worlds and the exploration of space and peaceful contact with new civilizations. Due to the nature of the Federation most of the vessels operated by Starfleet are peaceful in nature with very few offensive weaponry, however in the last couple of decades of the 23rd century many vessels designed more for combat were launched due to the increasing hostilities with the Klingon Empire at the time.

[fieldset=KE/KDF]
Imperial Klingon Empire
The Klingon Empire as it’s more commonly known is a powerful Empire in the Beta Quadrant run and controlled by the Klingon species, a warrior race that prides themself on combat and conflict. The Klingons aren’t as brutal as many civilizations outside the Empire say they are. The Klingons have a highly evolved sense of honour and conduct themselves in that manner. Their Empire, while subjugating many species in the past is now in a state of decline after the Praxis explosion in 2293 and several other internal problems. With the help of their new allies the Federation, the Empire is slowly rebuilding their economy and stabilising their territory.
Klingon Defence Force
The military arm of the Empire, the KDF as it’s sometimes called is the organization responsible for the running of the Empire fleet and the defence of the Klingon Empire and its people from outside aggressors. Due to recent internal problems, the KDF operates ships that are old and somewhat outdated compared to other powers, but they field them in large numbers to make up for their lack of progress in the past 12 years.
[/fieldset]
[fieldset=RSE/Imperial Star Navy]
Romulan Star Empire
The Star Empire is a powerful Empire in the Beta Quadrant run by the Romulan people, a direct offshoot of the peaceful Vulcan people. Unlike their Vulcan cousins, the Romulans are a passionate and somewhat violent people and direct adversaries to the Federation, Klingon Empire and Gorn Hegemony. Until recently the Romulan Empire was somewhat lacking in propulsion technology thus giving them a tactical disadvantage until a technological exchange with the Klingon Empire in 2260. The Empire while larger than the Klingon Empire, is much smaller than the Federation and with the signing of the Khitomer Accords in 2293 the Romulans have found themselves surrounded by the Federation and its allies whom are all mutual enemies of the Romulans.
Imperial Star Navy
The Romulans operate their own massive space fleet for use in the defence of their Empire, aggression against enemies and expansion of the Empire. With the inclusion of more efficient warp technology the Romulans are much more up to date than they were several decades ago and with their cloaking technology they have become a very powerful foe. The Romulan fleet uses a mix of older 1st generation refitted designs, Klingon and Klingon inspired designs and new 3rd generation Romulan designs.
[/fieldset]
[fieldset=GH/Gorn Military]
Gorn Hegemony
The Hegemony is a medium sized interstellar power in the Beta Quadrant controlled by the reptilian Gorn species. The Gorn are a transplanted species, with no known world of origin, however Ghdar is the capital of the Gorn Hegemony and one of the homeworlds of the three sub-species of Gorn whom formed the Hegemony. The Gorn are a peaceful like power who are long time enemies of the Romulans who have several times in the last several centuries attempted to invade and conquer the Gorn. The Gorn are currently allies with the Federation and have signed a non aggression pact with the Klingon Empire.
Gorn Military
The Gorn Military while smaller than many of the other superpowers is a fierce and powerful foe. Gorn technology is on par with that of the Federation, and while they have fewer ships their ships are much more powerful one on one. It’s very common to see Gorn vessels travelling alone and with their powerful weaponry including phasers, disruptors, Photon and plasma torpedoes and the recent update of their fleet the Gorn have been able to protect their borders from aggressors with minimal loss of life on the Gorn’s behalf.
[/fieldset]
[fieldset=KP/Mirak Star League]
Kzinti Patriarchy
The Kzinti Patriarchy is a medium-sized stellar empire on the far side of Romulan and Klingon space and is the official state for the Kzin race. The Patriarchy while roughly the size of the Gorn Hegemony is the polar opposite of the Gorn. The Kzinti are a race of aggressive predatory carnivores native to the planet Kzin in the Beta Quadrant. The Patriarchy are bent on conquest of what they consider lesser species, and due to this have expanded outwards from Kzin and have conquered countless species. The Kzin have fought wars with all of their neighbours, including two with the distant Federation, the last one in the early 2280's.
Mirak Star League
The Kzinti's military force known as the Mirak Star League is a powerful force despite having somewhat outdated technology. Star League vessels are built for combat and conquest and utilise phasers and disruptors for close quarter combat but their primary weapon are powerful missiles. Fired at long range they are capable of heavily damaging enemy fleets.

[fieldset=Secret Power]
The Secret Power
This is a surprise that the creators of Yesteryears, Syf and Majestic, have put together for the MSFC Community. This power was in fact the 4th power/faction developed for Yesteryears after the Federation, Klingons and Romulans were added. This power makes a considerable impact to the Yesteryears storyline and the shaping of the entire feel of the mod and timeline of the Star Trek universe.
This power/faction will become known to all when they are released, as to when that it, you’ll have to wait and see like the rest of us.
