THE INTERSTELLAR ORGANIAN CONCORDIA (IOC) is the name given to mysterious races supporting the Returned Organians. Over sixty unknown races are believed to be in the rarely encountered ships, all seemingly coming from somewhere in the Beta Quadrant. Each and every contact has been prefaced by the announcement that the IOC is 'here to enforce the Organian Peace Accords' before hostilities erupt and that "A peaceful, well ordered and harmonious Universe is the right of all sentient life. Civilizations collapse when this right is violated, therefore it will be protected at all costs." Apparently, the Organians were less than pleased with the actions of the Alpha Quadrant races after their Imposed Peace was lifted. The origins of the Organians is still open to review, and even the infrequent contact with the Q seems to indicate they find the Organians 'interesting.' In light of the failure of their former attempts, the Organians seem have turned to a new philosophy, "Peace through Superior Firepower." Because of the distant origin of the IOC, the Organians have not teleported more than a handful of them into the Alpha Quadrant. The IOC believes in peace at any cost, and will not hesitate to intervene in the most trivial of conflicts between other races.

Of the component races, we have identified the following:

Meskeen: a race of amphibians resembling Terran frogs with digits. They occupy a position in the IOC much like Humans in the Federation. They do not slow or halt their growth as they age, the oldest Meskeens encoutnered have been thousands of years old and over five meters long. They usually command IOC ships and form the bulk of the IOC Senate.

Ventressii: Humanoids who occasionally give birth to 'Quadruplicates' a telepathically linked quartet who work as one mind. They are a gaunt and bald hairless race, possibly related to the Deltans because of their shared telepathic abilities. Their crania show pronounced lobes, much like a Talaxian. They are avowed pacifists, and are rumoured to be arrogant in their dealings with allied races. They are feared within the IOC.

Pronhoulites: A smaller than Gorn sized saurian race. Quicker and as intelligent as the Gorn, they are great builders and structural engineers, the monuments of their word are revered by all IOC races. They also serve as soldiers and security officers, having a quick, almost preternatural ability to anticipate an enemies moves.

Q'Nabbians: A race of Humanoids that claims to have joined the IOC out of curiosity about the Universe after contact with the Organians millenia ago. They breathe an oxy-chlorine atmosphere, which segregates them from other IOC races. They have a love of storytelling and history that is matched only by the El-Aurians.

Rovillians: A race of turtle-like dolphins with barely usable digits. They have an amazing capacity for Psi use and are empaths rivaling Betazoids. Their race is barely capable of Stellar travel, but is respected throughtout the IOC for it's psionic powers. They have a reputation for being naive and are incapable of understanding the darker impulses of other races.

CURRENT FEDERATION STATUS: HOSTILE, DEFEND ONLY BUT EXPECT INTERVENTION
