The Danteri Empire was the political state for the government of the planet Danter and the expansion of the Danteri civilization. The Danteri Empire occupied Xenex for over three hundred years until the planet was liberated, thanks to revolutionary leader Mackenzie Calhoun. During the conflict, the Federation attempted to intervene with peace talks, on behalf of the Danteri, who were being considered for Federation membership. In 2376 the Danteri fell under the influence of the Beings. (NF - Excalibur novel: Restoration).
