Basically during WW III a group of 50 million Americans left earth drifted for 100 years and colonized about 50 planets all named after the old States witch lye near the federation-cardassian boarder only the Cardassians knew about the for about 300 years until Stardate 77529 (July 12th 2400) When the USS Akira gout caught in a conflict with between the Cardassians and the UPA (they don't like each other) In what is known to the UPA as the Feddassian incident the UPPA lost one Shark class Cruiser and the Cardassians lost 2 galor class vessels.
The UPA uses Advanced antimatter torpedoes roughly the strength between a quantum torp and a Transphasic Torp
they also us Compact shielding witch uses a computer to compress a shield to the exact point of impact Effectively quadrupling the power of there shields
