Meanwhile, the So'ja gained a new ally in Tyson Calok, who used is considerable knowledge of ancient technologies to assist in the construction of the Revenge-class battleships. The Romulan Star Empire warned the Federation about the disappearance of Commander L'mar and their suspicion of his involvement with the Coalition; His research in cloning had been put to use by Tyson Calok and the Coalition. However, the Federation managed to make some headway in the Oralian sector with the formation of the Oralian Peace Union. The conference to debate the treaty which formed the OPU, was attacked by Tyson Calok, almost ending the formation. The lack of a so'jan diplomatic presence during the conference only added to suspicions.
