Ventax II

Ventax II was the inhabited second planet in the Ventax system. This was the homeworld for the Ventaxians, a humanoid species. The planet had east and west magnetic poles. 
The central government building of the Ventaxians was called the Atheneum. In 2367, the head of state for the planet was Acost Jared.
Before the 14th century, the Ventaxians were highly industrialized, and caused destruction in the planet's ecology through various conflicts. In the year 1367, the Ventaxian leaders began pacifying the planet and cleaning the environment, using the story of Ardra to bring their people together in a common contract. After that, they were a peaceful agrarian society and effectively isolated itself from the rest of the galaxy.
First contact after centuries was made by a Klingon expedition in 2297. Hired Klingon craftsmen went on to construct homes on Ventax II. Sometime after this, a Federation research station was established on the planet to study their culture. In 2367, this station was headed by Dr. Howard Clark.
In 2367, the planet fell into chaos again when, according to the Ardra story, a fabulous thousand-year period of peace and wealth would come to an end and the planet would be turned over to Ardra. A took advantage of this myth and modern technology to present herself as Ardra and to bring the planet under control. She used technology to cause earthquakes, for example. Her true identity was successfully revealed by the crew of the . ()

According to the script, in the Ventaxian year 931 AA (after Ardra), in the township of Tau Velor, the craftsman Akul K'Ton filed a charge against the home owner Garv Etes. The case was decided in favor of the Ventaxian. 
Syd Dutton discussed the matte painting of the Ventax II surface in the VOY Season 4 DVD special feature "The Art of Alien Worlds". Describing the place as "the Aztec city of the future", he also explained how the shot contained footage of a nearby dam, including its top as the ramp on which people were fleeing. He described the shot as including a and cement surfaces. Live-action footage for the matte painting was indeed filmed at Sepulveda Dam.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 64) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Ventax system was located in the Beta Quadrant. The primary was a G-class star.

In 2024, Vin assured Julian Bashir and Benjamin Sisko that if they could not read, someone could pose the questions on their forms verbally. ()
According to Jean-Luc Picard, Commander Flaherty's skill in linguistics was such that he was capable of "instantaneously interpreting and extrapolating any verbal communication that he hears". In 2365, Picard felt sure that if William T. Riker accepted command of the , Flaherty, the starship's first officer, would be particularly invaluable in sector Vega-Omicron. ()
In 2366, after Lal bluntly accused Haftel of not speaking to her father Data with respect, Haftel noted that Data hadn't taught her how to use "selective in the verbalization of your own thoughts" (i.e. think before she spoke). ()
In 2370, despite the efficiency of Cairn telepathy, Lwaxana Troi noted that they were aware they would have to (learn to) communicate verbally if they wished to join the Federation. ()

Verbal contraction

A verbal contraction was a shortened form of a word such as "can't" for "can not" or "isn't" for "is not". In slang, it was common to use improper contractions such as "ain't" instead of "isn't". ()
Lore was adept at using contractions, which he pointed out to Data in 2364, who did not have this ability. ()
Created in 2366, Lal's neural nets were based on Data's, but as she developed, she gained the ability to use verbal contractions. () 
By 2367, Data still could not use contractions, which (among other things) made William T. Riker realize he was not in the year 2383, but instead in a simulation created by Barash. Later, Data would make two contractions ("I'm" and "can't"), but when Riker asks what he said, Data retracts by saying "cannot." However, Riker states that Data said "can't" and therefore used a contraction. ()

Verification
