They wern't really a race. They were a band of bad kids. Whom I would assume rejoined their families after Insurrection.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Maybe the issue is that it was implied that they went to live on that planet in the Briar Patch where no one wants to leave so why would we meet them?
Considering what the Son'a we know managed to accomplish, I understood it that they went back to their former empire/faction. Where would they have got the technology to take on a Sovereign Class otherwise?
We could visit the Baku planet. It supposedly makes people immortal, so those Son'a could still be there. But they also supposedly had some kind of little empire going on, which supposedly included more than two ships. And even if the Son'a in the movie were the only actual Son'a in existence, there would still be the slave races they were said to have conquered.
And seriously, who in here doubts those Son'a ships won't eventually make their way to a lockbox near you?
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy

By that very definition, the Son'a are no different. If we are to believe that the Son'a are merely a minority of Baku that left, then we could argue they were slaves to their [then] society; they wanted out, so they acquired their technology and went back into space.
The point I was trying to make though, is that considering what ships we have seen in lock boxes already, to use the reason that we wont/cant have the Son'a because they're not a faction is just stupid. We've got the Kazon ships, the Ferengi ships, we've even got the Year of Hell alliance ships. If we can have all of those, then the Son'a have no excuse to be vacant.
And yeah, someone else has said that the lock boxes seem to theme into running content, although when they started out, it wasn't so. Cardassian, Ferengi, Dominion & Temporal were all before their time. It wasn't really until we got into the Elachi Lock Box that they started to follow a trend. Then again, both the Xindi ones break that trend, so I still remain optimistic that the Son'a ships have a place in Cryptic's galactic fleet. Aside from the Dominion Battlecruiser, and the Cardassian Keldon, the Son'a (I think) are the only ships missing that people still want.
