Jeraddo Jeraddo ( or Lunar V ) was the fifth moon of Bajor , which was briefly inhabited for a time in the 24th century . ( ) History . Mullibok claimed he was the first person to settle the moon , forty years before 2369 , after escaping from a Cardassian labor camp and stowing away on a survey vessel exploring the system for possible mining sites . Initially facing starvation , he eventually managed to make the land farmable . Over the years , more people followed , reaching a total population of fifty by 2369 . Also located on Jeraddo was the Lunar V base , a small camp of the Bajoran Resistance , which stored a few sub - impulse raider s there . Furthermore , the palukoo , a dog - sized arachnid , existed there as one of the indigenous lifeform s . ( ) Shortly after the liberation of Bajor , the Bajoran Provisional Government , with the help of the Federation , decided to utilize the moon ' s core to provide much - needed energy for Bajor . It was expected this could warm a few hundred thousand Bajoran homes in winter . However , this process would release carbon and sulphur compounds that would make the air unbreathable and thus leave the moon uninhabitable . Forty - seven of Jeraddo ' s fifty inhabitants agreed to leave the moon and were relocated . Three people , however , refused to leave their home : Mullibok , Baltrim , and Keena . They had no contact with Bajor and were unaware that the Cardassians had left the system , several month s earlier . After the Bajoran Militia attempted to remove them by force , Mullibok was injured . Without Mullibok to care for them , Baltrim and Keena were evacuated to Bajor . To force Mullibok to leave , Major Kira Nerys set his cottage on fire . Mullibok left and Jeraddo became uninhabitable . ( ) Appendices . Background information . According to the final draft script for , the pronunciation for Jeraddo was " JUR - ah - doe " . For " Progress " , depicting Mullibok ' s homestead on Jeraddo was done by building a set on Paramount Stage 18 . ( " " , p . 51 ) " " We couldn ' t give [ director ] Les [ Landau ] and [ DP ] Marvin Rush all the set we wanted to give them , " " David Livingston explained , " " so they had to come up with ways of shooting this set to make the exterior look believable . I think they did a great job . " " Rush felt Jeraddo turned out to be a better portrayal of a moon ' s surface than that of an unnamed penal moon in . He observed that the surface of Jeraddo would have looked different if it had been depicted with a filming location . " " I ' m not sure it would have looked better , " " he said . " " The worst case would have been to see from stage the interiors looking out the windows to a painted backing and then to cut to a location that doesn ' t match . " " ( " Captains ' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages " , pp . 52 & 53 ) According to " " ( p . 42 ) , Jeraddo was classified as an M class moon . After the moon was converted into an energy - production facility , the classification for this moon was changed to class N . However , the book ( p . 23 ) also lists the Lunar V / Bajor VIIe moon as being a class D body , the same class as Earth ' s moon , Luna . According to the and , Jeraddo was a class M moon . Apocrypha . Jeraddo was featured prominently in the " " novels , where one of the three Red Orb s was hidden on an old settlement on the moon , and was subsequently discovered by Sisko when a Cardassian scientist tries to acquire it . A version of these same events takes place in the computer game " " , in which Sisko , Worf and Mayor Kira Nerys must locate a Pah - wraith temple on the devastated moon containing an ancient mural that depicts the Orbs of the Pah - wraiths , as well as the formation of a second Celestial Temple . Jeraddo was also seen in the video game " " , in the second - to - last level , set during the Borg invasion of the Bajoran system in 2380 .
