Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.
A civilian survey ship looking for new sources of dilithium in the Delphic Region (formerly the Delphic Expanse) comes under immediate attack after stumbling into a star system containing a Xindi Insectoid hatching ground. The Instectoids, fiercely protective of their young, attack with force, frantic speed and great ferocity, quickly sending the interlopers running back into warp.
They are fortunate - it is never wise to approach an Insectoid hatchery, and most who do never return.
Insectoids! Ahhhh
