Spoilers ST PIC Stargazer Comic

It bothers me than it should that the Klingon Empire (1 species, 1 homeworld) can technologically keep up and nearly conquer the Federation (150 species, 150 homeworlds) as per “Yesterday’s Enterprise” and DSC S1.

As I've been saying, that's the whole point of an empire as a sociopolitical entity -- it's a means by which one nation harnesses the resources and labor of multiple others to benefit itself. Presumably, the Klingons or Romulans rule over multiple other species and make use of their science and technology, their resources, their special abilities or knowledge, etc. for the benefit of the empire. Which is why it annoys me that they're usually portrayed as if they were all a single species and culture, and why I found the introduction of the Remans to be a step in the right direction.

It does feel like some deliciously cathartic irony that Star Trek Online depicted a brief continuation of the "Yesterday's Enterprise" where the Klingon conquest of the Federation in turn let them be conquered by the Dominion, with erstwhile Chancellor J'mpok becoming a menial slave sold off to the Tholians.
 
A FINAL UNITY had the quirky element that you were fighting Romulans much of the game, except when you actually talked to them, they weren't Romulans but a Romulan-looking species (i.e. human looking) that the Romulans had conquered centuries ago.

They just dressed Romulan and used Romulan ships.

The Garidians. STO Actually added a D'Deridex skin based off their repainted Warbirds a while back and called it 'Unity' in reference to the game's title.

STO. Though in STO lore, the ship was captured by Garidian rebels and repainted, it wasn't gifted to them.
