What did the Defari actually do for both the Feds and KDF? I might have missed the lore on that.

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

they are just there to be annoying
they have NO value beyond that
they are a minor species, not as annoying as bajorans, but nearly.
Then when in trouble, they ask for help... it's as simple as that. And neither faction will leave them to their own devices, both because of Preserver site and Borg Invasion.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
From my understanding they asked for protection from both the klingon empire for helping a fleet and any honor demands klingons to go and fight to pay what they owe the federation i'm not too sure on. but being so close in the alpha quardent from 2800 we know the federation cannot afford to have any planet fall to the borg. i'm sure if it became bad enough you'd see section 31 running around with mini torpedos strapped to there back charging toward the probe lol ok probably not but that would be a fun kit to make ingame. but after that there is talk of them joining the klingon empire or federation for who gives the most aid/support some day they may join something new might be added. maybe a question for the next ask cryptic:)
If the Borg were able to gain access to the preserver star maps and the locations of all their descendants, they could map a much easier road to assimilating the galaxy by targeting star systems with known humanoid species.
That's my guess at the "something" the Borg would have found on Defera. I don't think the preservers themselves would be a big assimilation target, since there are probably only a few hundred of them left, still in cryonic sleep.
If the Deferi would rather die than defend themselves then that is their decision, the Federation should not use them as a means to an end and the Klingons should impeach J'mpok (less politely) and plant the banner of Kahless straight through Ambassador Surah's cold lifeless corpse on the steps of the capital.
And you are a disrespectful Mutago
And the preserver site should be tricobalted
there is no reason to allow the borg access to ANYTHING
(i object to being called a troll by this person on the basis he is a Total Jerk)
If we destroy everything we have so the Borg can't get it...what will we have left?

Of course, it's difficult to determine what shifts the balance when you're not a Deferi. They could be misleading us and we'd never know it :P

Oh, plenty. Galaxy's a big place, I'm sure we'll run out of torpedoes eventually.
But, seriously, the Deferi have sovereign control of a planet containing what is probably the most advanced technology in the quadrant that isn't Iconian. The Borg are a distraction, the Tholians are an annoyance. Both factions know who the real threat is. We don't know their numbers or their intentions, we're not even completely sure if the now four ships seen aren't just the same ship four times. But we do know that their ships can vaporize a Borg cube and completely disable a starship and have been known to do both just for the sake of intimidation.
Unless their long game is to finally make a fortune selling us clean pants, we need that technology, and more.
Completed Starbase, Embassy, Mine, Spire and No Win Scenario
Nothing to do anymore.

I have to agree with sollvax here. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and all that. We don't know (I don't think) what Preserver technology the Borg are looking for, but we shouldn't be risking the possibility that they'll find it, whatever it is.
I understand why the Federation is helping the Deferi. I don't understand why some Klingon captain hasn't gone Indri VIII on the planet yet.
