Chodak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chodak
Homeworld: Allanor
Base of Operations: Allanor

The Chodak are a fictional, non-canonical race of aliens in the Star Trek universe. They existed a long time before modern history. The Chodak appear only in the Star Trek computer games Star Trek: The Next Generation on the Super Nintendo, Star Trek: The Next Generation, A Final Unity, Star Trek: Generations (game) and Star Trek: Birth of the Federation.

The Chodak had a soft, jelly body and resembled molluscs. They used an artificial external shell to be able to move and communicate. The Chodak homeworld was Allanor, located in what is now the Romulan Neutral Zone. Most of the Chodak holdings were located in what is now Romulan space, although a few sites (such as Horst III and Frigis) were located within Federation territory. The Chodak had founded a powerful empire approximately four thousand years before the founding of the Federation. Their empire collapsed when a group of rebels sabotaged the Unity Device, a massive machine with almost unlimited power, which had been used to maintain the Chodak government's power.

[edit] Games

In the game Birth of the Federation, an apparently automated Chodak warship can occasionally appear on the map, destroying any ships it encounters, equivalent to the 'Guardian' of Master of Orion
