10 NEW Star Trek Series For CBS All Access We Want To See

10. Tkon Empire

In the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Picard and bis brand new crew encountered a strange planet that disabled their ship. It also disabled a nearby Ferengi ship. Both crews sent away teams down to the planet on what turned out to be an extremely uncooperative mission as the Ferengi attacked and betrayed the Riker led team.

On the planet, the away team encountered Portal 63, the last defender of the massive, and long extinct, Tkon Empire. Reputedly, a supernova was the cause of the Tkon Empire's downfall but books have revealed that the Q Continuum played a role in their downfall. Regardless of the reason, Portal 63 did not know this and was dismayed to find there was nothing left for him to protect.

This was the Federation's first encounter with a living representative of the Tkon Empire, and possibly the last because they never came up, again. At least in TV and movies.

The Tkon Empire is a topic well worth exploring in a new series. Their reach covered a large part of the known galaxy, meaning they had influences on younger species they may not have even been aware of. They also had incredible technology, which allowed them to achieve impressive feats such as moving stars.
