Sector 001

**Sector 001**, also known as the **Sol sector** was an area on the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy, containing the Sol system and the planet Earth. It was so numbered as the "local area" charted by early human spaceflight, and the neighboring sectors were named in order of their exploration. These naming conventions were adopted by the United Federation of Planets, and continued in use into the 25th century, though they had no relation to the Federation's overall sector designation system. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds"; *Star Trek: Star Charts*; *Star Trek Online*)

Among the sectors bordering Sector 001 were the Alpha Centauri sector (aka Sector 002), Vulcan sector (aka Sector 005), the Andor sector, the Tellar sector, and the Sigma Draconis sector. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Kaleb sector

The **Kaleb sector** was a sparsely populated region of space along the Federation-Romulan border in the Beta Quadrant, largely ignored by both powers. It was adjacent to the Devron sector to the galactic north, the Taugan sector to the galactic south and the Sierra sector "above" on the Z-axis. The Dessica system was located in the Kaleb sector.

Hugh Cambridge

Dr. **Hugh Cambridge** was a human male. A psychologist, he served in Starfleet as a counselor during the latter half of the 24th century.

Cambridge was born in Bristol, Earth in the 2320s. He earned his doctorate from the University of Oxford, and subsequently attended Starfleet Academy.

During the 2360s, Cambridge was assigned to the USS *Melbourne*. During the Battle of Wolf 359, he helped many of his crewmates to the escape pods, and was one of the few survivors of the battle. Afterwards, he spent the next decade serving at Starfleet Medical.

In 2378, Dr. Cambridge was assigned to the newly-returned USS *Voyager* under Captain Chakotay. Initially, the two did not get along, with Cambridge's frankness and seeming disregard for protocol troubled his new commanding officer. By 2381, however, they had come to understand one another and develop a deep mutual respect. (*VOY* novel: *Full Circle*)

Phosia

**Phosia** was an El-Aurian female who served in Starfleet during the 24th century. In the mid-2380s, she held the rank of lieutenant commander, and was assigned to the USS *Titan*. She had a young daughter, Hanee, who was friends with Thaddeus Troi-Riker.

In 2386, Lt. Commander Phosia was assigned with looking after the Jezari diplomatic delegation during their return home aboard *Titan*, a task which she found frustrating due to their polite refusal of her attempts to engage with them. (*PIC* novel: *The Dark Veil*)

Magna Roma

**Magna Roma** (or **892-IV**) was the fourth planet of System 892 in the Beta Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. A Class M world, it was the home of the Magna Romans, a near-human species that had developed their own Roman Empire, an extreme example of Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planet Development. In the 2260s, the planet had a technological level roughly equivalent to mid-20th century Earth. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses"; *TNG* novel: *The Captain's Honor*; *The Worlds of the Federation*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

The planet had several large landmasses, several of which were interconnected. Its environment was strikingly Earth-like. Magna Roma had two moons, however, which the inhabitants called Selene and Pandeia. Their myths told of the pair as a mother and her daughter, traveling the sky each night in search of Endymion, Selene's lover and Pandeia's father, who was slumbering in eternal darkness. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Deep Space 4

**Deep Space 4** was a Federation starbase active during the 23rd and 24th centuries. Located in the Lidara sector of the Beta Quadrant, it was one of the closest Federation facilities to the Typhon Expanse, and a hub for exploration in the region. (TNG: "The Chase"; *TOS* novel: *Miasma*; LUG: *DS9 Core Book*)

In 2371, the station's commanding officer was Captain Yumi Kanda. (*Dockyard Review*)

DS4 was the base of operations for Starfleet's Task Force 78 in 2377-2378. (*ASDB's Ships of the Star Fleet*)

In operation for more than a century, the station was shut down in 2400. (PIC: "The Next Generation")

Constellation class

The ***Constellation* class** was a type of Federation star cruiser in Starfleet service during the 23rd and 24th centuries. Designed for long-term independent operations, ships of this class would carry out much of Starfleet's deep-space exploration in their first eighty years of service, before being relegated to utility and support duties in the 2360s. (TNG: "The Battle", "Peak Performance"; DS9: "The Abandoned", "Waltz")

## Design

The *Constellation* class built on the successes of the *Constitution*- and *Miranda*-class refits, though with a "revolutionary" 4-nacelled design that echoed the earlier *Nimitz* and *Nelson* classes. The nacelles themselves were modified LWD models, aligned in pairs above and below the ship's hull.

## Service history

The class prototype, USS *Constellation* (NX-1974) was launched circa 2275. She was soon followed by the USS *Sempach* and several other vessels. Full production on the class would not begin until the 2280s, after nearly a decade of evaluation. The second block of *Constellations* was launched beginning in 2284, with more ships ordered after the "failure" of the transwarp experiment in 2285 and the resulting delay in production of the *Excelsior* class.

In the early 2290s, the *Constellation* prototype returned to dock for refit and upgrades. She underwent certification trials in sector 23006 at the time of the Khitomer Conference in 2293. (*Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country*)

Arguably the most famous ship of the class was the USS *Stargazer*, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard from 2333 to 2355, and lost in the Battle of Maxia. (TNG: "The Battle", et. al)

In the 2330s, production on *Constellation*-class vessels slowed (but did not stop), thanks to the success of the *Ambassador* class class and other new designs. By 2364, however, the *Constellations* were considered "old and outdated," relegated to transport and utility roles, and were on the verge of being phased out entirely. Emergencies throughout the next decade pushed their retirement off until the 2380s.

Large Magellanic Cloud

The **Large Magellanic Cloud** (or **LMC**) is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, orbiting at a distance of roughly 163,000 light-years. Forming a pair with the more distant Small Magellanic Cloud, it is a member of the Local Group of galaxies alongside the Milky Way, Andromeda, Triangulum and others. It can be seen from Sol in the direction of the constellations Dorado and Mensa. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*)

By the mid-24th century, Starfleet had encountered several species from the LMC, and the course of the neural parasites which had attacked Deneva a century earlier was eventually traced back to a point within that galaxy. (DS9: "The Nagus" *okudagram*)

In 2371, when the Furies' wormhole was redirected by the USS *Voyager*, it was believed that the new terminus may have been within the Large Magellanic Cloud. (*VOY* novel: *The Final Fury*)

Coriana VI

**Coriana VI** was an Class M planet in the Coriana system. As of the mid-23rd century, it had an indigenous population of roughly six billion. At that time, the natives were a pre-warp society. (*Babylon 5*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

During the first six months of the Four Years War, Coriana VI was the site of an engagement between Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force. Starfleet losses were heavy. (*Prelude to Axanar*)

Pandrilite

The **Pandrilites** were a humanoid species native to the planet Pandril, a member of the United Federation of Planets. Considered "bulky" by humans, they had blue skin, oversized heads, long-fingered hands, and "intelligent eyes."

Pandrilites were known to serve in Starfleet. One, Vigo, was weapons officer aboard the USS *Stargazer*. He was killed at Maxia Zeta in 2355. (TNG: "The Battle"; *TNG* novel: *Reunion*)

Amitra served as President of the United Federation of Planets from 2364 to 2368. (*ST* novel: *Articles of the Federation*)

*The Pandrilites were created by* Star Trek *novelist Michael Jan Friedman, and were eventually used by other authors as well.*

Ranul Keru

**Ranul Keru** was an unjoined Trill male who lived and served in Starfleet during the 24th century.

By 2372, he held the rank of lieutenant commander. That year, he joined the crew of the newly-launched USS *Enterprise*-E as head of the stellar cartography department. His partner, Lieutenant Sean Hawk was one of the ship's conn officers. (*TNG* novel: *Rogue*)

After Hawk's death fighting the Borg, Keru found it difficult to stay aboard the *Enterprise*, and eventually took a leave of absence from Starfleet. He returned to Trill, and served as a Guardian at the Caves of Mak'ala. In 2376, he aided Ezri Dax in defending the symbionts there fron unjoined terrorists. (*DS9* novel: *Trill: Unjoined*)

Keru returned to active duty in Starfleet in 2377, but his joy in stellar cartography had gone, and he transferred to security, where he served under Christine Vale. In 2390, he followed Vale and transferred to the USS *Titan* as tactical officer and security chief under Captain William Rikker, with Vale as the ship's first officer. (*TTN* novel: *Taking Wing*, *PIC* novel: *The Dark Veil*)

Port Shangri-La

**Port Shangri-La** was a city on Cestus III, named for the mythical Shangri-La of ancient Earth. It was the home of the Port Shangri-La Seagulls, a team in the Cestus Baseball League. The local accent sounded like a mix of Australian and British accents from Earth. (*TNG* novel: *Q & A*)

Miranda Kadohata was born in Port Shangri-La in 2338. (*TNG* novel: *Q & A*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Justarus

### Hydrosphere

85%; the water has a greenish color due to abundant sea plants and traces of copper.

### Climate

Temperate, but with strong winds and powerful storms. A weather control grid channels the worst storms away from inhabited areas and out to sea.

## Demographics

### Resources

Limited mineral resources beneath the ocean floor; most ores are mined from the moons. Extensive aquaculture and tourist industries.

### Settlements

Bratokka, the capital city; Korrin Archipelago resort communities; Vola T'nor, underwater metropolis

### Facilities

Orbital docking stations, capable of minor repairs; lunar mining outposts

### Reputation

One of Romulus' first colonies, home of "old money," academics, artists, and holiday retreats.

**Justarus** was a Class M planet in the Jubel sector, one of the first worlds colonized by the Romulan Star Empire, circa 590 CE. One of the planet's moons, Terek was also home to a small mining colony.

The colonial capital of Bratokka was located the northern hemisphere, on the planet's largest island landmass. The city was constructed in classical Romulan style, but using native materials, mostly coral. It was the location of the University of Justarus.

Near the equator was the Korrin Archipelago, a dense collection of tiny islands and coral reefs that teemed with exotic marine life. The region was a favorite destination for tourists from all over the Empire, and many hospitality centers dotted the coastlines, with small boats and pleasure craft carrying visitors from one island to another.

The largest of the planet's underwater cities was Vola T'nor, a sprawling metropolis of undersea pressure domes beneath the southern ocean. The city maintained vast aquaculture farms and served as a research center for oceanic exploration and biological study.

While most of the mineral resources were mined from the planet's moons, Justarus featured abundant marine life, and the planet's aquaculture industry produced a wide variety foodstuffs, utilizing both protein and plant life. Many of the planet's sea creatures were considered delicacies throughout the Empire.

In the 2370s, the planet's representative in the Romulan Senate was Senator Crassian D'mora, a rival of fellow Senator Ferran Solos from Quatel. Their feud sparked much political intrigue throughout the sector, and was closely monitored (and manipulated) by the Tal Shiar. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Progenitor species

**Progenitor species** are lifeforms that are the evolutionary or biological ancestors of one or more later lifeforms. In the history of humanoid life in the Milky Way, there have been several significant progenitor species, among them the Arretians, the First Ones, the Ancient Progenitors, and possibly the Preservers.
Romulan Affairs

**Romulan Affairs** (aka "the **Romulan desk**) was an office within Starfleet Intelligence tasked with monitoring and analyzing the activities of the Romulan Star Empire and its citizens. (*PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*)

During the Dominion War, and other periods when the Federation and the Empire were allied, Romulan Affairs also liaised with the Tal Shiar. (*PIC* novel: *Second Self*)

Prior to the Romulan evacuation, Raffaela Musiker worked for Starfleet Intelligence in this department, and was considered the "Federation's top analyst on Romulan affairs." (*PIC* comic: *Picard: Countdown*, *PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*)
Margaret Sinclair-Alexander

**Margaret "Madge" Sinclair-Alexander** (*née* **Alexander**), was a human woman who served in Starfleet during the 23rd century. During the 2280s, she was the captain of the USS *Saratoga*. (*Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*; *TLE* novel: *Serpents Among the Ruins*)

She was born in Jamaica on Earth circa 2238, and entered Starfleet Academy in the mid-2250s. As a lieutenant during the 2260s, she served one year aboard the USS *Enterprise* under Captain James T. Kirk. Her exemplary performance earned her a field promotion, and she transferred to the USS *Firenze* as second officer.

She rose through the ranks quickly, earning a promotion to Commander and assignment as first officer aboard the USS *Freedom*. She eventually became the Captain of the *Freedom* herself, and served in that post until the ship's decommissioning. Alexander then assumed command of the USS *Saratoga*. (*TOS* novel: *Crucible*: *The Star to Every Wandering*)

While patrolling Sector 5 in 2385, the *Saratoga* was disabled by the Cetacean Probe on its way to Earth; once the crisis was past, the ship's power was restored and *Saratoga* continued her mission under Captain Alexander's command. (*Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*)

Alexander and the *Saratoga* were initially assigned to ferry Ambassador Sarek to a diplomatic conference with the Klingons in 2289, but that duty was taken on by the USS *Excelsior* instead. (*TOS* novel: *Excelsior: Forged in Fire*)

In the early 2290s, she was promoted to the admiralty and stationed at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco. In 2392, she married Cynthia Sinclair, whom she met after leaving the the *Saratoga*, and changed her surname to Sinclair-Alexander. (*TOS* novel: *Crucible*: *The Star to Every Wandering*)

By 2311, Admiral Sinclair-Alexander had risen to the position of Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet. (*TLE* novel: *Serpents Among the Ruins*)

## Background

* It is possible that the Sinclair-Alexanders may have been the parents, or aunts, of Sylva La Forge. Both Captain Alexander and Captain La Forge were played by Madge Sinclair, and the latter character would likely have been born in the early 24th century.

New Romulus

**New Romulus** (also known as **Mol'Rihan**, **Vastam** or **Dewa III**) was a class M planet in the Dewa system. Romulan and Reman refugees settled there in 2409, establishing it as the capital of the Romulan Republic and a new homeworld for the survivors of the Romulan supernova.

The native species of Dewans had died out thousands of years earlier when the planet became uninhabitable due to extreme radiation. That radiation had receded to manageable levels by the early 25th century.

Shortly after settling the planet, the Romulan Republic discovered Iconian ruins underground, including a functional Iconian gateway. Over the next several years, the Tal Shiar launched numerous campaigns to subvert the Republic government, or outright conquer New Romulus, which included bringing in Hirogen mercenaries. The Tholian Assembly also sought to capture the planet in order to exploit the Iconian technology there. (*Star Trek Online*: *Legacy of Romulus*)

Rio Dolorosa

The **Rio Dolorosa** was a river in the New Willamette Valley on the planet Belle Terre. In the early days of colonization, mills and logging camps were set up along the riverbank, including Willamette Station. The river and its environs were part of a holoprogram created by Daniel Sean Bryce. (*Junction Point*)

Rakhari

The **Rakhari** were a humanoid species native to the Gamma Quadrant. Their homeworld was the planet Rakhar. (DS9: "Vortex")

Rakhari marriages were at least sometimes polygamous. They also had myths and legends about the Changelings, though most considered them make-believe.

By the 24th century, the Rakhari were warp-capable. An oppressive government was in power by the 2360s, and capital punishment was practiced.

When starships from the Alpha Quadrant began arriving through the Bajoran Wormhole, the Rakhari had no interest in contact with the newcomers, though they learned of them from their off-world trading partners. First Contact with the Federation came in 2369 when Commander Benjamin Sisko contacted Rakhar regarding one of their people, Croden, who had committed a murder aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Vortex")

Panora

**Panora** was a planet in the Demilitarized Zone between the Cardassian Union and the United Federation of Planets. It was the site of a Cardassian colony.

The Maquis had attacked Panora in 2373, destroying the colony's defenses. Two months later, it was a potential target for Michael Eddington, but he chose to attack Quatal Prime instead. (DS9: "For the Uniform")

Number One

**Una**, also known as **Number One**, was a female human who served in Starfleet during the 23rd century. In the 2250s, she served as first officer and helmsman aboard the USS *Enterprise* under Captain Christopher Pike. (TOS: "The Cage"; *Star Trek: Early Voyages*; DSC: "An Obol for Charon")

She was born on Illyria in the early 23rd century, and had two brothers, Hudek and Leighton. Her given birthname name was unpronounceable to non-Illyrians, so she had adopted the mononym Una at least by her Starfleet Academy days. (*TOS* novel: *Vulcan's Glory*; *The Children of Kings*)

During the late 2240s, Una served with Christopher Pike aboard the USS *Yorktown*. In 2251, she transferred Pike when he was given command of the *Enterprise*, serving as his first officer. She would serve in that position for the rest of the decade, until her own promotion to captain and command of the *Yorktown* in the early 2260s. She was promoted to Commodore in 2270, and again to Admiral later in the decade, all the while remaining in command of the *Yorktown*. (EV: "Flesh of My Flesh"; *TOS* novel: *Captain to Captain*; *TOS* comic: *Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor*)

Canopus Planet

**Canopus IV** (**Alpha Carinae IV**), was the fourth planet in the Canopus system. A Class M world, it was the home of the Canopian species. Known colloquially as the **Canopus Planet**, it was a member of the United Federation of Planets since the late 22nd century. By the mid-23rd century, it was the most prominent world of the "Canopus Core" of Federation space in the Beta Quadrant. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before"; *TOS* novel: *Yesterday's Son*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

After first contact with humanity, Canopus Planet became a popular destination for vacations and shore leave among Earth Cargo Service and Starfleet crews. The Canopians opened their world to immigration, and by the early 23rd century, there was a sizeable human population on Canopus Planet, along with members of various other species. (*TNG* novel: *A Time for War, A Time for Peace*; *SCE* novel: *Cold Fusion*)

Canopus Planet had a temperate climate, several major landmasses, and garnet-colored seas. Sailing and surfing those seas were popular activities there. The planet was also known for its antique shops, which were favored by James T. Kirk in his search for old hardcopy books. (*TLE* novel: *Serpents Among the Ruins*; *DS9* novel: *Twilight*; *TOS* novel: *Yesterday's Son*)

A major trade route from Gamma Hydra ran to Canopus Planet. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

When passage through the Klingon Empire was blocked during the Federation-Klingon War of 2372-2373, travel between Canopus and the main Federation core necessitated either going the long way around Romulan space towards Gamma Hydra, venturing far above or below the galactic plane, or traversing a route through the Triangle between the three major powers. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Paxar IV

**Paxar IV** was an uninhabited planet in the Y'Varian sector, in neutral territory between the Romulan Star Empire and the Taurhai Unity. Following the Battle of Chi'tan in 2343, both powers chose it as the site of a peace conference, and together constructed Paxar Station in orbit.

Though the planet was otherwise uninhabited, its long-dormant volcanic tunnels and lava tubes were sometimes used for clandestine meetings between Romulans and Taurhai using life-support equipment. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Phyrox plague

**Phyrox plague** was deadly disease which was difficult to treat in the 24th century.

There was an outbreak of the plague on Cor Caroli V in 2366, which was eradicated by the crew of the USS *Enterprise* on stardate 43714.1. Following the successful outcome, Starfleet Command classified the incident as "secret." (TNG: "Allegiance")

Several years later, a much larger scale outbreak of Phyrox plague occurred in the Tiber sector in Romulan space. The disease quickly spread among the colony worlds there, and the Romulan Star Navy blockaded the entire sector while medical teams worked furiously to find an effective treatment. Their efforts were hampered by resource shortages due to the Dominion War, and by 2374, the disease had mutated, creating new, even more resistant strains of the plague. Senator Jollen Merek of Tigelis VII, one of the worlds hardest hit, proposed reaching out to the Federation for humanitarian aid, but his request was denied by the Romulan Senate. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Pollarian

The **Pollarians** were a humanoid species from the Class M moon Pollar in the Tullus sector of the Beta Quadrant. Though within the territory of the Romulan Star Empire and close to the borders of the Taurhai Unity, they had not been discovered by either the Romulans or Taurhai as of the mid-2370s. However, they had made first contact with the Breen circa 2369, and established a trade alliance with them.

Having evolved on a dense, tropical, yet dim world, Pollarians were small in stature, with large black eyes, overdeveloped ears, pale skin and no body hair. Their eyesight was extremely sensitive, extending partially into the infrared portion of the spectrum. Bright visible light was extremely painful to them. Their hearing was likewise quite sensitive, leading the Pollarians to speak quietly by most humanoid standards.

Pollarians were highly curious and mercantile. Their society was feudal in nature, with several large nation-states, most notably the Langell Commonwealth, and numerous smaller city-state equivalents. Technologically, they were in an industrial age as of the mid-24th century, and acquired some more advanced technology through contact with the Breen, which enhanced the already rapid exploitation of their world's natural resources. Pollarians measured success and happiness by an individual's wealth and material possessions. Feudal families were often owners of great wealth, but by the 2370s mercantilism had begun to redistribute some wealth to the middle class, who began to look to the stars for opportunity bought by the Breen and their trading partners. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Pallas 14

**Pallas 14** was a star system in the Alpha Quadrant, at the extreme rimward edge of Fedeartion space more than 900 light years from Sol. It was a binary system consisting of two yellow dwarf stars, and three planets. The system's second planet, Mantilles, was Class M and home to the most remote colony in the Federation in the 2260s.

In 2269, the system's uninhabited outer planet, Alondra was consumed by an extragalactic "cosmic cloud" creature, which was unaware of the "tiny" beings in its path. Commander Spock of the USS *Enterprise* was able to telepathically communicate with the creature and convinced it to turn away before it consumed Mantilles. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing"; *Star Trek Maps*)

Prior to this, and for some time after, Starfleet Intelligence was concerned with Tholian activity in the area. (*TOS* novel: *Allegiance in Exile*)

## System

* Pallas IV A and B
	+ Pallas 14 I (Bezaride)
	+ Pallas 14 II (Mantilles)
	+ Pallas 14 III (Alondra, destroyed in 2269)

## Background

* The episode states that Mantilles is located "at the edge of our galaxy," though how literally this is to be taken is open to interpretation.
* The 900 light year figure is conjecture, but as Beta VI was over 900 light years from Earth (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos"), and Mantilles is supposed to be the most remote colony in the Federation.
* It is likely that Pallas 14 lies rimward of Gateway, as TAS: "Yesteryear" immediately precedes "One of Our Planets Is Missing."

Kalandra sector

The **Kalandra sector** was a region of space in the Alpha Quadrant, bordered by the Bajor, Betazed, Dorvan, and Mizar sectors, and the nearby Argolis Cluster. In the 24th century, Federation space extended partway into the area, though as of the 2370s, it was still mostly neutral territory. The Kalandra, Klaestron, Lya, Merak and Trill systems were located in the sector, along with the planet Farius Prime. (*Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

During the Federation-Cardassian War and the Dominion War, the Kalandra sector held great strategic importance. During the latter conflict, the sector was occupied by Dominion forces in 2374, positioning them for a strike on Betazed. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")

The trade route known as the Galador Corridor ran through the sector. (*DS9* novel: *Sacraments of Fire*)

Pollar

**Pollar** was an M-class moon of the gas giant Pollus VIII, and the homeworld of the Pollarian species. Within an unexplored sector of the Romulan Star Empire, the world was unknown to either the Romulans or the Taurhai as of the mid-2370s, but had made first contact with the Breen circa 2369 and begun a trade partnership with them.

Society on Pollar was primarily feudal, with several large nation-states and many smaller city-state equivalents. The most significant nation was the Langell Commonwealth, and the largest city on the moon was Ovus-Fal, the Langellan capital. Ovus-Fal was also the contact point between the Pollarians and Breen traders.

Rutia IV

**Rutia IV** was a Class M planet, the fourth world in the Rutian system. It was the homeworld of the Rutians, a warp-capable humanoid species. While non-aligned, by the 24th century, the planet had longstanding trade agreements with the Federation.

Circa 2296, the planet's western continent was denied independence by Rutian government based on the eastern continent. In response, a separatist group known as the Ansata arose and began using terrorist tactics against the government of the eastern continent in a bid for autonomy and self-determination for their western homeland. The Ansata's terror campaign would continue for over seventy years, past the 2360s. (TNG: "The High Ground")

Late-24th century Starfleet officer half-Betazoid Ciaran Shean was born on Rutia IV; his mother was a member of the Ansata. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Around 2391, the planet was struck with an unspecified disaster. Cargo vessels delivering medical supplies to Rutia IV were frequent targets of Nausicaan pirate attacks, causing tension between the Federation Transport Union and Starfleet. (*Star Trek Online*)

M'rok

The **M'rok** were a species from the planet M'rokta'ra.

They were descended from an arachnid-like creature and were tall and spindly looking. They had two pairs of black eyes and short purplish fur-like hair that covered their entire body. They had three fingers on each hand and long arms that made them excellent climbers.

M'rok culture was known for its honor duels. Any M'rok had the right to challenge another if they took offense to a statement or action by the other party. One of the traditional weapons they used for the duels was known as the *ta'tak*. Due to the subjectiveness of what one could consider an "offense" the M'rok had elaborate customs of courtesy and tactfulness, which made interactions between and with them a lengthy process due to their roundabout, but polite, ways.

In 2366, the M'rok entered into an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire. They have since adopted many items of Romulan culture with Romulan aesthetics becoming a fad during the late 2360s and 2370s. (*Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 5: Starships of the Romulan Star Empire*)
Lytasian

The **Lytasians** were a sapient, spacefaring species from the planet Lytasia in the Alpha Quadrant. They once fought an interstellar war with the Ferengi Alliance, the only such conflict in Ferengi history. (*DS9* novel: *Legends of the Ferengi*; DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")

Keethera

A ***keethera*** was a Vulcan meditation aide, translated its name meant "structure of harmony." Building a *keethera* required precise balance and spatial acuity; it helped to focus thought and refine mental control. The structure itself was composed of differently-shaped blocks, and was different each time it was built, depending on the mental state of the builder.

A mantra was commonly recited while building the *keethera*:

*"Structure. Logic. Function. Control. The structure cannot stand without a foundation. Logic is the foundation of function. Function is the essence of control. I am in control. I am in control."*
In 2372, Lt. Commander T'Lan replicated a *keethera* set for Commander Junil Rue and assisted them in its use. (*Shield of Tomorrow*: "Time Waits for No One, Part 1")

Aboard the USS *Voyager*, Tuvok attempted to construct a *keethera* while under the influence of a memory virus in 2373. (VOY: "Flashback")

*The* Star Trek Encyclopedia *(4th ed.) misspelled this as "keethara".*

Owen Paris

**Owen Paris** was a human male who served as a Starfleet officer during the 24th century. He came from a long line of officers, and was the father of Thomas Eugene Paris. (VOY: "Pathfinder")

During the 2350s, he was an instructor at Starfleet Academy, and in 2355, he served as a thesis advisor to Cadet Kathryn Janeway, becoming a mentor to the young woman. In 2357, he led the Arias expedition as commanding officer of the USS *Al-Batani*, on which newly-commissioned Ensign Janeway served as a science officer. Paris subsequently commanded the *Al-Batani* on a five-year mission.(VOY: "Caretaker"; *VOY* novel: *Mosaic*; *TLE* novel: *Deny Thy Father*; Decipher: *Starfleet Operations Manual*, *Starships*)

After his time aboard the *Al-Batani*, Paris took a desk job at Starfleet Headquarters, and resumed teaching at the Academy. During the mid-2360s, he was a harsh instructor for his son, Tom Paris, during Tom's time in his course on survival strategies. (VOY: "Parturition")

By the early 2370s, Owen's duties precluded his continued teaching. In 2374, one of those duties included overseeing the Pathfinder Project, which he lobbied for, wanting to be involved in the search for his son's ship, the USS *Voyager*. (*SCE* novel: *Fables of the Prime Directive*; VOY: "Message in a Bottle", "Pathfinder")

In 2379 (in the First Splinter timeline), he was one of five Starfleet admirals, who, along with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, took it upon themselves to force the resignation of Federation President Min Zife. His involvement in what was essentially a *coup d'etat* left him feeling ashamed. The following year, he decided to leave Earth, assuming command of Starbase 234 near the Azure Nebula. (*TNG* novel: *A Time to Heal*; *Star Trek: Destiny* novel: *Gods of Night*)

IKS MhaQ'Beth

The **IKS *MhaQ'Beth*** was a *Vo'Quv*-class starship under the command of Brigadier General Uth'ryc in the 2410s. (*IKS MhaQ'Beth: Hearts of Olden Glory*)

Because of her crew's status as a "band of misfits," the *MhaQ'Beth* was often assigned to the outer reaches of the Klingon Empire. For a time, the *MhaQ'Beth* was a part of Task Force Omega and fought the Borg and the Undine. Later, she became part of the Alliance Central Command, a joint Federation-Klingon-Romulan task force that eventually formed the initial core of the Khitomer Alliance's Allied Fleet Service.

The ship's motto is a quote from *Macbeth* in the "original Klingon," which translates as "Screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail."

Kellinan Reach

The **Kellinan Reach** was a region of space in the Milky Way Galaxy, located "above" the United Federation of Planets on the Z-axis. The outpost known as Bridgetown was in or near the Kellinan Reach.

In 2376, the starships USS *Indomitable* and USS *Vor'kaan* were assigned to survey the Reach, part of Starfleet's renewed focus on exploration and discovery following the end of the Dominion War. (LUG: *Raiders, Renegades & Rogues*, *Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet*)

Krotarian

The **Krotarians** were a sapient reptillian species, somewhat similar to the Gorn, hailing from the world of Krotar in the Diodor sector. They were a peaceful species. By the mid-2370s, they had several extraplanetary colonies within their home system, and were on the verge of developing warp travel, though their research was plagued with difficulties arising from the subspace anomalies in the region. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)
