===Apparent absence and subversion=== [[File:MtaraBrokenCircle.png|right|thumb|[[M'Tara]], after the Iconians had changed to become beings of pure energy]] In [[2365]], the {{mAlpha|USS Yamato|U.S.S. ''Yamato''}} discovered an ancient Iconian device during archaeological digs on {{MAlpha|Denius III}}, revealing the long lost location of Iconia in what by then had become the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]]. After arriving at Iconia, however, the ''Yamato'' fell victim to an unmanned [[Iconian Probe]] that transmitted a piece of Iconian software to rewrite the ship's computer systems and ultimately causing a warp core breach. To prevent a war with the [[Romulan Star Empire]], who claimed the planet for themselves, as well as the Iconian technology from falling into the hands of then-Commander [[Taris]] of the {{IRW|Haakona}}, Captain Picard destroyed what was believed to be the only remaining outpost on the planet's surface. ({{mission|Taris}}, {{MAlpha|Contagion (episode)|TNG - "Contagion"}}) A second Iconian base was found on [[Vandros IV]] in the [[Gamma Quadrant]] by the [[Dominion]] in [[2372]]. There, a group of renegade [[Jem'Hadar]] took over the facility and attempted to use its Gateway to stage a rebellion against the Dominion. A [[Starfleet]]/Dominion joint operation commanded by Cpt. [[Benjamin Sisko]] and Lt. Cmdr. [[Worf]] destroyed the base. ({{MAlpha|To the Death (episode)|DS9 - "To the Death"}}) Despite their apparent absence from the Milky Way, however, the Iconians' desire for vengeance remained unchanged. Already in the [[22nd Century]], they used the Elachi to gather intelligence on the Humans. In the late [[24th Century|24th]] and early [[25th Century|25th]] centuries, they used the Solanae to abduct and study Humans as well as other Alpha/Beta Quadrant species and began to secretly manipulate species of the galaxy in order to prepare for an eventual invasion. Although an initial attempt to infiltrate [[Starfleet Command]] with bio-engineered [[Bluegill|neural parasites]] was thwarted by the crew of the ''Enterprise''-D, later incursions were more successful. By faking intrusions of [[Alpha Quadrant|Alpha]] and [[Beta Quadrant]] ships into [[fluidic space]], the Iconians pushed the [[Undine]] into an aggressive position against the Federation and the [[Klingon Empire]] amongst others, causing several conflicts such as the [[Klingon-Gorn War]] and the [[Federation-Klingon War]]. Their biggest subversion, however, was to deceive [[Taris]] of the [[Romulan Star Empire]] and even manipulating one of her officers, [[Hakeev]], into causing the [[Hobus System|Hobus supernova]], which destroyed [[Romulus]] and [[Remus]] in [[2387]]. ({{MAlpha|Silent Enemy (episode)|ENT - "Silent Enemy"}}, {{MAlpha|Conspiracy (episode)|TNG - "Conspiracy"}}, {{MAlpha|Schisms (episode)|TNG - "Schisms"}}, {{mission|Taris}}, {{mission|Fluid Dynamics}})
