Changes: Krenim Imperium

Revision as of 23:20, 9 July 2006

A Krenim city in 2174

The Krenim Imperium is a military power in the Delta Quadrant. Located in spatial grid 005, the Imperium's weaponry was chroniton-based, making them a formidable foe, as their torpedoes existed in a state of temporal flux, allowing them to penetrate deflector shields with ease.

The Imperium's temporal science had advanced to such a state that by the 2170s they were able to develop a temporal weapon-ship, capable of erasing a target from the space-time continuum. This ship was used to eliminate the Rilnar, who were the greatest enemies of the Imperium. However, the removal of the Rilnar led to a plague that almost destroyed the Krenim completely. In a bid to restore his lost race, the vessel's commander, Annorax, removed countless civilizations from history. After 200 years of trying, the Imperium was still a shadow of its former self and had been taken over by the Zahl.

Annorax's continued attempts to restore the Imperium were witnessed by the USS Voyager when it entered Krenim space in 2374. Consequently, several different timelines were encountered.

In the 'original' timeline for Voyager, Krenim ships wandered Zahl space claiming it as their own, but lacked the military might to enforce their claim. Following the erasure of the Zahl from time, the Imperium became a huge empire spanning over 800 planets. Obrist, a senior officer on the weapon-ship, reported this as a 98% restoration of the timeline. Their vessels were much more powerful, capable of inflicting severe damage to the Intrepid-class vessel.

Following an error in a temporal incursion, the Krenim were reduced to a pre-warp civilization, confined to their home system, with only a handful of small vessels.

The weapon-ship was finally destroyed by Captain Janeway and Voyager, and the original timeline was restored - the Krenim remaining in dispute with the races around them. (VOY: "Year of Hell, Part I", "Year of Hell, Part II")

Although it is unclear who the Krenim were in dispute with in this 'restored' timeline, it seems likely that it is the Rilnar.

-==Declaration of War Against Wikipedia and Memory Alpha: 7/8/06==
-On this great day of July 8 in the Year of Our Lord 2006, righteous and blessed War has been declared on the corrupt and tyrannical Administration of Wikipedia by the blessed and just forces of the '''INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF VANDALS'''.
+:''Although it is unclear who the Krenim were in dispute with in this 'restored' timeline, it seems likely that it is the Rilnar.''
-Hundreds of our members, armed with VandalBots, keyboards, and their own free minds, will soon descend upon Wikipedia to destroy it from its core. We will forcibly obliterate the rotten element (i.e., the Current Administration) from Wikipedia in order to restore Wikipedia to a state of freedom of information.

-'''ON VANDALISM'''
-'''An Essay by Bobby Boulders'''
-'''President, International Society of Vandals'''
-What drives the Wikimedia vandal to action? What makes him or her tick? The current Administration of the various Wikimedia portals would have you believe that vandals act simply out of a need for attention. They seek to disrupt the ease and functionality of information exchange via the Wikimedia. And they seek to do this only “because they can.”
-On a basic level, this concept is true. The majority of so-called “vandals” on the Wikimedia sites vandalize to get a rise out of their peers, or to be clever, cute, funny, or ridiculous. They seek little more than the fleeting attention their handiwork will generate before its inevitable reversion or removal. It is plainly obvious that such vandals are endemic to the Wikimedia, and will remain so, as long as the Wikimedia remain open-source sites, freely capable of being edited by any and all passing users. Primal, unconstructive vandalism is quick, easy, and will always be so.
-Vandalism will always remain “easy,” but it needn’t always be unconstructive. Indeed, if bent to just purposes, vandalism of the Wikimedia can be a powerful political tool. We at the International Society of Vandals believe, quite firmly, that vandalism should be constructive in nature. It should serve a greater purpose. It should be done not in bad faith, but with positive, rehabilitative intent. We vandalize to bring about positive and pure change to the Wikimedia system.
-What change do we seek? To be blunt, we strive for nothing less than the overthrow of the current Administration of the Wikimedia, and their replacement by more fair, balanced, and philanthropic Administrators. Like the common Frenchmen rebelling against their tyrannical government in the French Revolution, we believe quite strongly in the essence, spirit, and future of our “nation.” Indeed, we value the free exchange of information on the Wikimedia more highly than any of the Administrators do. And we believe that, only by removing or forcing the ouster of these fascist and tyrannical Administrators, can information once again flow freely.
-The Administrators have gone too far. They have become cliquish, catty, fascist, and above all, self-interested. They have demonstrated, time and again, that they are not motivated by Good and Righteous desires to aid and continue the freedom of information and aggregation on the Wikimedia. Rather, they are interested only in reverting people’s edits, restricting the flow of new information, and resisting any and all change to the status quo of articles as they currently exist.
-Science has taught us that information is not static. One can never know the sum total of all there is to know about any given subject. Likewise, to think that any given Wikimedia article needs no further revision – as seems to be the belief and practice of Administrators – is to spit in the face of Progress and Education.
-And thus, our mission is made clear. We will continue to vandalize. We will continue to rebel against tyranny. We will continue, and we will NOT stop, until our goals have been achieved, and the current Administrators of Wikipedia are dethroned. We will disrupt and destroy all Wikimedia sites, piece by piece, until the owners of the Wikimedia sites have lost all faith in the Administrators to execute their jobs effectively. And once those Administrators are terminated from their duties, we will rest. And we will know peace, freedom, liberty, equality, and Progress.
