Can we flesh out the Tholians more?

Please? And I mean, not just as the generic bad guy 2.0, but as something interesting. as in, diplomacy, possibly some battles and not just making them "xenophobic nuts". Pwetty pweese?

And Temporal Ambassador doesn't count since it is another timeline.

Someone speculated in another post the other day (or it might have been a couple of weeks ago) that the Tholians could have been part of the force that defeated the Iconians back when. Would be awesome if Cryptic turned the Tholians into your more antihero role; having them protect the quadrant (and galaxy as a whole) but causing a bit of mayhem in the process.

Also, for Nukara.
We just know it's related to Iconians. We don't even know if they are with them, or against them.
Unfortunately, Cryptic moved on another villain of the month before ending the Tholian plot. To be honest, I would have been suprised if we had the end of that part of the story, considering Cryptic never really end their stories. Remember, we are still waiting to know what happened to Sela, what happen to the Undine we freed in the infamous Divide et Empera, we are still waiting for the Romulan Academy to replace the temporary reliance on allied academy, and we are still waiting to walk on New Romulus (the city). Remember how they said they would advance the construction of the city bit by bit, following the plot and all that, and how we would be able to see it growing and all that.
As for having the missing part, I guess it will come only if they find a way to make money from it, somehow. Unfortunately, the Tholian gamblebox is already released.
They don't eat anyone, they're silicon based and have a volcanic body temperature, it's also why they need prisoners to do work for them, they'd shatter otherwise.
romulan rep has a few missions with tholians and what they were doing at dewa.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Yeah this is something I'm picking up on, only the earliest stories actually have conclusions, everything is just seems to get forgotten.
The Tholians were opening rifts to the Mirror universe and stealing Terran ships for...some reason. That will likely never be explained.
There's also some noise that Nukara Prime has some native life that the Tholians want gone.

Oh so much this. I want to see aliens. Not rubber masks.

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to seeing more of them and having that fleshed out.

The opinions expressed in my posts are my own views and do not reflect on any other entity(s) or person(s) I may or may not represent at the time.
-Time Travel
-Alternate realities
-No humanoid aliens that are far and few between (Star Trek series need to invest in animatronics like Farscape did)
One of the best FEs is related to Tholians, so it shows they have potential.
Agreed. So much could be done with 'em. Time travel, diplomacy, explaining of why they're on NR and Nukara.

Well, they might share that honor with the Undine.
Their technology scavenging from the future and paralell universes could be a desperate attempt to counter what the iconians can throw at us/them.
They are so alien that it might not even occur to them to team up with us, or they might not have enough confidence in us to do so.
They probably think that no one in the known universe is advanced enough to fight them and they might not even care about anyone else as long as they themselve survive the looming invasion.
They might be almost as old as the Iconians who themselves do not look like carbon based lifeforms.
That, and having the Tholians go in and unintentionally save us from the Iconians when stuff starts going down would be amazing. I don't see them as becoming allies, or even agnolaging that the Federation/KDF/Romulan Republic could help, more of the uncomfortable "We won't attack you until this threat is dealt with" alliance.

As for their obsession with time well I would guess that it is something to do with the temporal cold war as according to ENT they were involved somehow.
If I never have to hear the phrase "temporal cold war" again I'll be a happy Bajoran.
In fact, frak every time travel suggestion and the targ they rode in on. I want somebody to write a time travel story where they go back in time to shoot the first person to come up with a time travel story. Repeatedly. In the foot. And maybe once in the TRIBBLE for good measure.
