The Tkon Empire, in the fictional Star Trek universe, was a defunct interstellar federation that flourished some 600,000 years ago. At its peak, the Tkon Empire had a population numbering in the trillions and possessed a technology so powerful that they were actually capable of moving stars. The Tkon were virtually wiped out when their sun went supernova, but a small number of outposts survived, including one at Delphi Ardu. The Enterprise-D encountered this outpost in 2364, making first contact with the Tkon, as well as the Ferengi ( "The Last Outpost").
The fate of the Tkon, and the structure of their society, is explained further in the non-canonical novel series, Star Trek The Q Continuum (see below link).
