Optimum Movement

The **Optimum Movement** was a political and terrorist organization on mid-21st century Earth, the aggressor during the **Optimum Conflict**, one of many global conflicts collectively known as World War III. Describing themselves as eco-terrorists, the movement was created and led by Colonel Adrik Thorsen, based on the philosophy of Phillip Green, survival of the fittest interpreted with a fascist and racist view. (*Star Trek* novel: *Federation*)

Kar-Charrat

**Kar-Charrat** was a Class-M planet in the Kar-Charrat system near the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Largely covered in rainforests, Kar-Charrat was to an intelligent, aqueous life-form that existed in liquid form. Their attempts to communicate with visitors were often mistaken for "ghost voices" and led to the legend of the "phantoms of Kar-Charrat." (DW: *The Genocide Machine*)

## Alternate universes

In The Doctor's universe, the Library of Kar-Charrat was built on the planet. It became known as one of the wonders of the universe, and housed the collected knowledge of every known civilization. Archaeologists also came to visit the planet to study an ancient ziggurat, which was eventually revealed to be a Dalek hibernation vault, leading to an attempted invasion of the planet in the 26th century. (DW: *The Genocide Machine*; BS: *The Stone's Lament*)

Lalairu

The **Lalairu** are a neutral trading collective made up of many different species. They can found almost anywhere in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, but they seem to frequent the rimward regions.

The Lalairu are very open to discourse with outsiders, if the outsider can manage to understand the very erratic Lalairu speech patterns. Their language is called Lalairsa, and it was made up of many different languages, making it very hard to translate. (*TNG* novel: *Dark Mirror*)

In the late 23rd century, the Lalairu aboard the vessel *Mascrar* mediated a dispute between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire at RV Trianguli. Unfortunately, the peace talks broke down. (*TOS* novel: *Honor Blade*)

In 2366, Starfleet Commander Hwiii, a delphine, traveled with the Lalairu to the Great Rift region to investigate the nature of subspace hyperstring structure.
His well-adorned special suit also had the emblem from 20th century NASA. (*TNG* novel: *Dark Mirror*)

They never settle anywhere for long, and most communities rarely leave their vessels. Each Lalairu community is led by one who speaks for the whole, known as the Laihae. (*TOS* novel: *Swordhunt*)

*The Lalairu were created by author Diane Duane.*

Lidara sector

The **Lidara sector** was a region on the edge of Federation space in the Beta Quadrant, containing around a dozen star systems with multiple Class-M planets, but no known indigenous sentient life. Deep Space 4 was located in this sector, and the Typhon Expanse extended into the region. (LUG: *DS9 Core Book*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

S'hirethal Verauk

**S'hirethal Verauk** was an Acamarian female who served in Starfleet during the late 24th century.

In 2381, Commander Verauk was executive officer aboard the USS *Rochambeau*. At the time, her husband and their seven children lived on Acamar III. (*Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *Peaceable Kingdoms*)

## Background

* This character was originally created by novelist Dayton Ward, and appeared in his novel *Peaceable Kingdoms*, which was set after the *Destiny* trilogy in which her family and home planet were annihilated by the Borg. *Star Trek: Pendragon* hopes to show what might have become of Verauk without the events of *Destiny*.

Rigel system

*For similarly named articles, see Rigel (disambiguation).*
Rigel system
could refer to:
* Beta Orionis, the "true" Rigel system, some 860 light years from Sol
* Beta Rigel (aka Raij'hl), a system in the core of the Federation, 88 light years from Sol.

*Disambiguation page: If you followed a link to **Rigel system** that brought you here, you might want to go back and change it to link to a more specific title. (For example: **Rigel system (some other term)**, or choose from one of those listed above.)*
Kandari sector

The **Kandari sector** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant, approximately 80 light-years from Earth, one of the most populated regions in the core territories of the United Federation of Planets. Beta Rigel and Sigma Ceti were among the many star systems located in the sector. (TNG: "Conspiracy"; *Star Trek: Star Charts*; *ENT* novel: *Tower of Babel*)

Directly coreward, it was bordered by the Deneva sector; in the spinward direction, by the Malurian sector; and rimward, by the Risa sector. The Rigel Highway ran through a part of the sector. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

In the mid-22nd century, the sector was along a frequent travel route of freighters bound between Beta Rigel and other planets, like Zeta Fornacis. (*ENT* novel: *Tower of Babel*)

Sentok Nor

**Sentok Nor** was a Cardassian space station built in orbit of Betazed after that planet's capture in 2374 during the Dominion War. It served primarily as a maintenance facility, Jem'Hadar hatchery, and the Dominion's control post in the Betazed sector. Dr. Crell Moset conducted experimental research on Betazoid telepathy there, until the station was destroyed in 2375 by a Starfleet commando team. (*TNG* novel: *The Battle of Betazed*)

QuchHa'

The **QuchHa'** (translated as **the unhappy ones**) were the descendants of Klingons who were mutated by the Qu'Vat virus in the mid-22nd century. By the late 23rd century, most Klingons had been cured of this condition, though some QuchHa' refused treatment and maintained their more human characteristics. (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence"; DS9: "Blood Oath", "Trials and Tribble-ations"; VOY: "Flashback"; *TLE* novel: *Excelsior: Forged in Fire*)

One group of QuchHa' left Klingon space and settled on Sherman's Planet, seeking their own destiny apart from the warlike traditions of the Klingon Empire. They became farmers, and scientists. By the late 24th century, at least one of their descendants, Goran, served in Starfleet. By the mid-2380s, he was as a lieutenant aboard the USS *Intrepid*, having previously given up the life of a botanist to become a soldier during wartime. (INT: "Duty of Care")

Prosenna (planet)

**Prosenna** was a planet in the system of the same name in the Diodor sector. It was home to a felinoid civilization, seeded millennia ago by the Azar, and distantly related to the Langians and Ennarians.

In 2367, the planet was attacked by the Borg, and its population was assimilated. Afterwards, only great gouges and rents in the planet's surface remained as evidence that a thriving civilization had once existed there. Wreckage of the Borg cube crashed on the planet following the vessel's destruction by the Azar. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Outpost 36

**Outpost 36**. more formally **Defense Outpost 36**, was a *Regula*-class Federation space station in service during the late 23rd century. It was located in the Klingon Neutral Zone, and was the nearest Starfleet facility to the planet Daros IV. (FASA: *Orion Ruse*)

Purdi's Book Emporium

**Purdi's Book Emporium** was a business in San Francisco in the 2280s, owned and run by a male Troyian named Purdi. Purdi's sold books on disk and in "read while you sleep" editions, and also fulfilled special requests to print and bind books of paper pages. After several recommendations, Admiral James T. Kirk purchased a printed copy of *Strangers from the Sky* from Purdi's, at considerable expense. (*TOS* novel: *Strangers from the Sky*)

Lalubell

**Lalubell** is a Bolian holiday. A day of remembrance and joy, it was described as "a ruckus, a party...a Valentine's for loved ones." Part of the traditional celebration involved making as loud a noise as possible to send out into the universe, so wherever they were, living or passed, a person's loved ones would hear. (*Clear Skies*)

In early 2381, Lt. Commander EXEO of the USS *Ross* grew concerned about crew morale following the ship's long journey to Starbase 24 and anticipating the next leg of the trip to the Shackleton Expanse. With the support of Captain Sull and Ambassador Madzhin-Nil, EXEO organized a Lalubell celebration on the ship's Promenade, so the engineering crews could bond around Chief Lynadas and the entire crew could celebrate. (*Clear Skies*: "SB-24", "Before Hell, Part 2")

*Lalubell was an original creation of* Clear Skies*, devised by Gina DeVivo, who played EXEO.*

Kaminar

**Kaminar**, sometimes erroneously called **Kelpia**, was a class M world, the fourth in its star system. It was home to two sapient species, the Ba'ul and the Kelpiens. (ST: "The Brightest Star"; DSC: "An Obol for Charon")

Sometime between the mid-23rd century and The Burn in the 31st century, Kaminar joined the United Federation of Planets. (DSC: "Die Trying")

Radjic VI

**Radjic VI** was a planet in the Alpha Quadrant. It was the site of a Cardassian terraforming project which involved the use of protomatter. The Cardassians abandoned the project and the planet in 2335, leaving behind a thousand Bajorans in a shielded cavern that became their mass grave. Vedek Ro Danar was among the Bajorans who died there.

After the Dominion War, the world fell into Federation territory. The bodies of the Bajorans were discovered in 2380 by officers from the USS *Aldrin*, who were investigating the planet as a potential subject of their own terraforming project. Glinn Betras killed her associate Hanar on the surface of Radjic VI to cover up the use of protomatter, though Starfleet officers Corey Aster and Ro Nevin made sure the truth came out. (*Star Trek: Hidden Frontier*: "Grave Matters")

Raritan IV

**Raritan IV** was an M-class planet in the Beta Quadrant. It was the site of a Deltan colony. In 2401, Drs. Agnes Jurati and Soji Asha visited the colony as part of their goodwill tour following the repeal of the Federation's ban on synthetic life. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")

The planet was home to the Crimson Arboretum, which Beverly Crusher visited with her son, Jack, in the late 24th century. (PIC: "Võx")

Shackleton Expanse

The **Shackleton Expanse** was a region of the Beta Quadrant, largely unexplored by the late 24th century, named after early 20th century Earth arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. It was located beyond the Canopus Core of Federation space, proximate to the Klingon and Romulan Star Empires. The expanse was home to gravitational eddies, spatial anomalies and numerous forms of stellar phenomena. (STA: *Beta Quadrant Sourcebook*, *Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide*)

Beginning in the 2370s, Starfleet began a series of survey missions to chart the Shackleton Expanse, based out of Starbase 364, a joint operation with the Klingons also known as Narendra Station. The USS *Sally Ride* was assigned to an exploration mission there in 2371, as was the USS *Ross* ten years later in 2381 (in a different quantum reality). (*Shield of Tomorrow*; *Clear Skies*)

*The Shackleton Expanse was the setting of* Star Trek Adventures *Living Campaign.*
Following the missions of the *Sally Ride* and the *Ross*, other Starfleet vessels were assigned to the Expanse, including the USS *Chawla*, in the 2410s. (*Clear Skies: Perseverance*)

System J-991, location of the planet Streethia, was in the expanse, approximately 12 light-years from Narendra Station. (SOT: "...A Guest In Your Own House")

The N'yo Star Cluster (and its eponymous sector) were located in the Shackleton Expanse, along with the planet Jataran, homeworld of the J'Shashians. (*Clear Skies*: "Negotiations", "New Civilizations", "The J'Shashia")

Cozmozoans and other-spaceborne life were common in the Expanse, part of an "intragalactic ecocosystem" that ranged all the way to the Carina Nebula more than 8,000 light years distant. (*Clear Skies*; *TTN* novel: *Orion's Hounds*)

## Locations

Array 3-5 • Cabros VII • Cal-Mirra • Ember sector • Endurance Divide • Epsilon 19 • FGC-651218 • FGC-694751 • Finally • Jataran • Lilafas • N'yo sector • N'yo Star Cluster • Orgun system (Orgun II • Orgun III) • Osarin • Pi-Latka system • Quazkey V • Seku VI • Setu • Shackleton Pinwheel • Streethia • System J-991 • T'Kal Nursery • VinShari system (VinShari Prime) • Washboard Triplets • Zern • Zilinus III

The Alpha Toryui and Amirii systems, along with Starbase 364, were near, but outside the Expanse proper.

Ournal class

***Ournal*-class** space stations were Federation facilities in use from the mid-23rd century onward. The first and most prominent was Spacedock One (aka Earth Spacedock, which began construction in the 2250s, and was fully operational by 2270, becoming one of the primary hubs for Starbase 1 in the Sol system. (DSC: "Will You Take My Hand?"; TNG: "11001001"; *Jackill's*; *Star Trek Online*)

Circa 2333, many of these stations were refit and upscaled to the ***Ournal II*-class** configuration, in order accommodate the much larger vessels entering service, such as the then-proposed *Galaxy* class. (*ASDB's Ships of the Star Fleet*)

By the 2380s, another major upgrade was underway, and by the turn of the 25th century, the *Ournal* Mark II was superseded by the Mark III, more formally the *Probert* class, of which Sol Station was the first, taking the place of Spacedock One in Earth orbit. (PIC: "The Next Generation", "Vóx", "The Last Generation")

## List of stations

* Deep Space 3

Lasting Virtue

**"Lasting Virtue"** was a drabble written by T.J. Drake, in memory of his friend Barbara Horwitz. It was published under the original *Star Trek: Pendragon* umbrella, but reflected Typhon Station continuity more than anything else.

Timothy Sinclair and Samok were featured characters in the 100-word story, which took place at the funeral for Captain Barbara Clairidge on Vulcan.

Nramia

**Nramia** was a Cardassian colony near the Federation border, in the Demilitarized Zone. Its hot and dry climate made it ideal for the cultivation of *krintar*, a rare foodstuff. In the 2370s, the Cardassian Union used the agricultural colony there as cover for a secret military installation. (*VOY* novel: *The Third Artifact*).

In the closing days of the Dominion War, the Klingon Defense Force invaded Nramia, engaging with the Dominion forces station there. (*GKN* novel: *A Good Day to Die*)

Sector 213

**Sector 213** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. The sector was almost evenly divided between Federation and Romulan territory, with the Romulan Neutral Zone bisecting them. It was bordered by the Hyralan, Kaleb, Onias, and Taugan sectors.

The Qualor system was located in the sector, as were the Mendora Nebula, and the planet Galorndon Core. (TNG: "Unification I"; *Star Trek: Star Charts*; *Klingon Honor Guard*)

Prime reality

The **prime reality**, sometimes referred to as the **prime universe** and somewhat inaccurately as the **prime timeline**, is one of an infinite number of quantum realities in the multiverse. Each universe generally considers itself to be the "prime" universe from their own perspectives.

## Background

* From a real-world perspective, the prime reality consists of the bulk of the *Star Trek* canon (ie, television series and films), with the exception of the Kelvin timeline films (though part of *Star Trek* (2009) takes place within the prime reality). Most licensed (non-canonical) material and many fanworks *attempt* to remain consistent with canon extant at their time of production, and thus *can* fit within the prime reality until contradicted by later canonical productions. Their inclusion as such is always subjective.
Sea Fall

**Sea Fall** was a planet in the Demilitarized Zone between the Cardassian Union and the United Federation of Planets. It was the site of a Federation colony, ceded to the Union by treaty in 2370, though rather than accept resettlement, the colonists gave up their Federation citizenship to stay.

In 2373, Sea Fall was one of the many worlds in the DMZ attacked by Cardassian and Jem'Hadar forces in the Maquis purge just before the outbreak of the Dominion War. (*DS9* novel: *The Never-Ending Sacrifice*)
Odyssey (disambiguation)

**Odyssey** could refer to:

* Literature:
	+ *Odyssey*, Homer's epic literary work
* Starships and vehicles:
	+ USS *Odyssey* (NCC-71832), a *Galaxy*-class starship
	+ USS *Odyssey* (NCC-74650), an *Intrepid*-class starship
	+ USS *Odyssey* (NCC-81302), an *Allegiance*-class starship
	+ USS *Odyssey* (NX-97000), an *Odyssey*-class starship
		- The *Odyssey*-class of starships
	+ *Odyssey* (free starship), a Galactic Commonwealth jump ship from the mirror universe.

* *Star Trek: Odyssey*, a spin-off from *Star Trek: Hidden Frontier*

*Disambiguation page: If you followed a link to **Odyssey (disambiguation)** that brought you here, you might want to go back and change it to link to a more specific title. (For example: **Odyssey (disambiguation) (some other term)**, or choose from one of those listed above.)*
Lazon II

**Lazon II** was a planet within the territory of the Cardassian Union. In the 24th century, it was the site of a mining colony, and later a labor camp.

After the *Defiant* incident in 2371, former Starfleet officer and Maquis member Thomas Riker was sentenced to life imprisonment at the labor camp on Lazon II. (DS9: "Defiant")

In the aftermath of the Dominion War, Lazon II was abandoned by the Cardassians and the prisoners there were left to fend for themselves.

In 2379, word came to Ro Laren that there were still Maquis survivors being held in Cardassian labor camps, including on Lazon II. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Mantilles

**Mantilles** was a Class M world, the second planet of the the Pallas 14 star system in the Alpha Quadrant, near the "outer fringe" of the galaxy. It was home to a Federation colony, and as of 2369, was the most remote inhabited planet in the UFP. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing")

The planet had two moons, and the Pleiades were clearly visible in the night sky. The colony's capital was the city of Ravent. (*The Worlds of the Federation*; TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing"; *TOS* novel: *Crucible*: *Provenance of Shadows*)

Mantilles was recognized as a colonial member of the Federation in 2248. By the late 2260s, there were 82 million people living on the planet. (*Star Trek Maps*; TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing")

Following the M-5 computer incident in 2268, Commodore Robert Wesley retired from Starfleet, and took up the governorship of Mantilles. In actuality, his "retirement" was a temporary measure, as part of an undercover operation to expose suspected Tholian espionage. He would return to Starfleet by early 2270. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing"; *TOS* novel: *Allegiance in Exile*)

In 2269, the outer planet of the Pallas 14 system, Alondra was destroyed by an extragalactic cosmic cloud which was on course to consume Mantilles as well. The colony was saved thanks to the intervention of the USS *Enterprise*, when Commander Spock was able to mind-meld with the immense creature and convince it to leave the galaxy. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing")

By the early 2280s, Dr. Joanna McCoy had become the head of the Organ Donation, Synthesis and Transplant Department at Ravent General Hospital on Mantilles. (*TOS* novel: *Crucible*: *Provenance of Shadows*)

Circa 2334, future Starfleet officer Samaritan Bowers was born on Mantilles. While living there as a teenager, he began studying karate at the encouragement of his school counselor. (*DS9* novel: *Warpath*; *ST* novel: *A Singular Destiny*)

Medusan

The **Medusans** were an ancient, non-corporeal species. Their homeworld, known to outsiders as Medusa, was in the Xi Hydrae system in the Beta Quadrant. Highly telepathic and empathic, Medusans were considered to have the "most sublime" thoughts in the galaxy, though their physical appearance was so hideous to humanoid eyes that it would drive other species mad to the point of death. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?"; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Though they once had corporeal form, the Medusans evolved past their physical bodies at least 600,000 years before the 23rd century. From then on, they existed as beings of consciousness and electromagnetic energy. They explored the galaxy for many millennia, until they found contact with later era humanoid species drove the younger races insane. Since that time, they tended to remain isolated on their homeworld, only traveling among other races within special containment units, often employing humanoid telepaths as aides and interpreters. (FASA: *The Federation*; LUG: *All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook*)

Despite maintaining limited contact with other species, they nonetheless joined the United Federation of Planets by the mid-23rd century, having the shared goal of peaceful cooperation and exploration. They were considered one of the oldest species among Federation members. Ambassador Kollos was one of a number of Medusans who engaged with the Federation, before returning to his homeworld in 2268. (FASA: *The Federation*; TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")

Renowned navigators, the Medusans shared their knowledge with the Federation, and by the 24th century, some even served in Starfleet as navigational specialists aboard vessels like the *Galaxy*-class starships. Medusan navigational techniques were eventually programmed into Federation systems, such as Emergency Navigational Holograms. (FASA: *Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual*; PIC: "Broken Pieces")

## Background

* Given the similarities between the two species, it is possible that the Medusans are an offshoot of the Vorlons. Both are ancient noncorporeal telepathic entities that use human telepaths as aides, hide their true appearance within containment units or encounter suits, and restrict offworlders from visiting their homeworld. Whereas the Vorlons have an interest in maintaining order, and are seen as angelic beings by other species, the Medusans are lovers of art and beauty, despite their own "ugly" appearance.

Legacy of Romulus

***Legacy of Romulus*** was the first major expansion for the *Star Trek Online* MMORPG, adding a playable Romulan species to the game, along with Remans, and fleshing out the story of the Romulan Republic and New Romulus. The story began on the world of Virinat in the year 2409, two weeks prior to the Borg attack on Vega Colony.

> *What we knew is gone. Our home, our lives, all that we were…dust. Blasted across empty, heartless skies. But we live. Our legacy lives – within every ship we fly, upon every world we touch, in our hearts. There will be challenge. We will know fear. But we will overcome, we will survive, and answer vengeance with blood. We will do as we must. Rule cannot be handed to the faithless. Our legacy cannot be lost to villains! Bury the past to face the future! In enemies, find allies. There is no price we have not paid, no loss we have not felt. Our dead world, our long suffering – these are not ends! We are not ended! For our people, for our new home, we must face all doubt. We must break the strong who would destroy us and overcome the impossible! We must fight against any and all! We must! We will! For we are Romulan!*

Ni var

***Ni var*** is a term in the Vulcan language which translates literally as "two form." It was also an art form practiced on Vulcan in which a subject was examined from two different viewpoints, or in terms of its having two different aspects or natures.

According to Spock, it referred to the duality of things: "two who are one, two diversities that are a unity, two halves that come together to make a whole." (TOS short story: "Ni Var")

A 22nd century *Suurok*-class starship, the *Ni'Var*, was named after the concept. Centuries later, after the Reunification of the Vulcans and Romulans, the planet Vulcan was renamed to Ni'Var as a sign of unity. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem"; DSC: "Unification III")

Shavokh

A ***shavokh*** (also called a ***sha'vok***) was a type of flying predatory animal native to Vulcan. (*TOS* novel: *Vulcan's Forge*)

The *shavokh* was a graceful hunting bird with gold and brown feathers, a 2.5 meter wingspan, and a powerful musculature that allowed it to propel itself along the mild wind currents of Vulcan's atmosphere. Although the carnivorous bird possessed two pairs of sharp golden talons, its prey consisted of small rodents and reptiles, and generally posed no threat to the humanoids of Vulcan. Rather, they traditionally held that it was good luck to encounter a *shavokh* when traveling, for where it descended to ground, one would find ground water or a soak not too deeply buried nearby. (LUG: *The Way of Kolinahr: The Vulcans*)

The *shavokh* did, however, also eat carrion, occassionally making them an unwelcome sight to desert travelers. (*TOS* novel: *Vulcan's Forge*)

One of the great colony ships of the Sundering was named after these creatures. (*ST* novel: *Vulcan's Soul*: *Exodus*)

Mesquad

**Mesquad** 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.

During the later part of the Dominion War, the Jem'Hadar exterminated the Cardassian population of Mesquad, though some refugees managed to escape. (*DS9* novel: *The Never-Ending Sacrifice*)

Orion sector

The **Orion sector** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Orion system and Coridan system were located in this sector. Despite being well within the core of Federation territory, the area remained somewhat lawless, even into the 24th century, mostly thanks to Orion influence. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; *Star Trek Online*; *TNG* novel: *Silent Weapons*)

SS Derleth

The **SS *Derleth*** was an early warp spacecraft constructed in the 21st century. It was launched from Earth in 2070 on an exploratory mission, under the command of Captain Howard Roberts. The vessel was lost some six months later, and became legendary as a "ghost ship." (*Star Trek: The Continuing Mission*: "Cathedral in the Void")
Roulean Belt

The **Roulean Belt** was a large asteroid field in the Roulean system, in the Tiber sector of the Beta Quadrant. During the Phyrox plague crisis inthe 2370s, the Belt became a haven and base of operations for a group of pirates led by "rogue" Ferengi DaiMon Grax. (LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*)

Needra

**Needra** was an inhabited Class M planet in its star system, located in neutral space between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. It was home to the Needran civilization, and rich in mineral resources. The planet's capital city was Antile, and its ruler was the Crown Melak, who oversaw the Needran Assembly.

During the 2280s, the Needrans had entered into mining agreements with both the Federation and the Empire, supplying vital resources to their colonies in the region. The Needran government contracted with a private company to run their mining operations and provide transportation, headed by Director Sally Gallan.

Eventually Needran freighters became subject to raids from a then-unknown party, and the Needran government requested assistance from both powers. Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force each sent a light cruiser to patrol the area and perform escort duties, but the raids continued over the course of several months.

In 2288, the USS *Lafayette* was heavily damaged in an ambush on the outskirts of the Needran system, and rescued by the IKS *qul HoH*. In response to the growing threat, Starfleet dispatched the USS *Enterprise* to Needra, while the KDF sent the IKS *Qapla*. Working together, the two crews were able to uncover the truth and put an end to the attacks. (*TOS* comic: *Partners?*)

Majoris Congeries

The **Majoris Congeries** was an open cluster of twenty stars in the Alpha Quadrant, many of which were inhabited by a variety of species. The Hamal system was within the bounds of the Cluster, and Hamal IV was a member of the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century.

At least twenty different species called the Congeries home, including one which breathed methane and a winged species which preferred to live in the atmosphere of stars.

By 2375, Starbase 18 was located in the Congeries, orbiting Hamal IV. (*TOS* novel: *The Wounded Sky*)

Marva IV

**Marva IV** was a class-M planet near the Badlands, in the Demilitarized Zone between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union.

In the early 2370s, colonists from Salva II resettled there after their eviction by the Cardassians, and the world quickly became a base for the Maquis. (DS9: "For the Uniform"; *TNG* novel: *A Weary Life*)

Marva IV was one of the many colonies destroyed by the Jem'Hadar in 2373 in their purge of the Maquis at the behest of Gul Dukat. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

Médecins Sans Frontières

***Médecins Sans Frontières*** (**MSF**), also known as **Doctors Without Borders**, was a non-governmental humanitarian-aid organization, created on Earth in 1971, and known for its activities in areas of acute crisis, especially war-torn regions and those afflicted by endemic diseases. The organizatoin continued to exist into the 24th century, becoming an interstellar aid group, supported by the United Federation of Planets.

In 2381, *Médecins Sans Frontières* doctors, were active on multiple worlds, retired Admiral Leonard McCoy among them. (*ST* novel: *A Singular Destiny*)

Peacekeeper (Nimbus III)

The **Peacekeepers** were a group of civilians dedicated to maintaining law and order on Nimbus III in the late 24th and early 25th centuries, until their members were driven off or killed by the Orion Syndicate in the years leading up to 2409. The Romulan man called "Law" was one of these Peacekeepers. (*Star Trek Online*: *Wasteland*: "Blind Men Tell All Tales")

Kar-Undoume

**Kar-Undoume** was an ancient citadel and manor near Lake Cataria on Betazed. It was the ancestral home of the Seventh House of Betazed, and its name translated to "The House of Twilight." (PDN: "Twilight's Heir")

Upon leaving Enclave J-12 in 2355, Timothy Sinclair traveled to Betazed to find his mother's family, and went to Kar-Undoume. That visit resulted in his "exile" from Betazed after his grandfather, Andrus Kelisen, disowned him. (PDN: "Past Watchful Dragons", "Twilight's Heir")

In 2379, Lord Kelisen summoned his grandson on urgent business, and Sinclair returned to Kar-Undoume for the first time in nearly twenty-five years. (PDN: "Twilight's Heir")

Ronara Prime

**Ronara Prime** was an inhabited planet in the Demilitarized Zone between the Cardassian Union and the United Federation of Planets.

In 2370, Ro Laren went undercover on **Ronara Prime** in hopes of infiltrating the Maquis. Successfully attracting their attention, she was taken to Juhraya. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")

By 2378, the world had become a Federation protectorate. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Orion Prime

### Government

Orion Trade Union, a plutocracy controlled by loose alliances of corporations, merchant houses and wealthy clans (*caju*), some backed by the Orion Syndicate

### Facilities

Extensive entertainment and cargo facilities; orbital drydocks for starship repair

### Reputation

"A cross between Switzerland and mob-era Las Vegas."

**Orion Prime** (formally designated **Pi-3 Orionis III**, and also known as **Orion III** or simply **Orion**) was the third planet of the Pi3 Orionis or Orion system, and a homeworld of the Orion species, though perhaps not their original one. Though deep within Federation space, Orion remained staunchly neutral. It was a major center of commerce, finance and gambling, and was home to many casinos, as well as the Bank of Orion. One of its major cities was Kinarvon, on the far side of the planet from the capital. (TNG novels: *The Persistence of Memory*, *Silent Weapons*, *The Light Fantastic*; ENT novel: *Rise of the Federation*: *Tower of Babel*)

Orion Prime was the seat of the Orion Trade Union, a civilian government tacitly independent from the Orion Syndicate. While the Syndicate itself maintained a presence on Orion, its own headquarters was elsewhere and most of its operations took place on other worlds, from the nearby planet Coridan and the Beta Rigel system, to more distant worlds like Farius Prime, Nimbus III and beyond. (*Star Trek Adventures*; Template:SOT; *Clear Skies*; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

*In one alternate timeline, after his resurrection in the 2380s, Data lived on Orion Prime with his daughter Lal, "hiding in plain sight" under a number of false identities while maintaining the corporate empire his father had set up there.* (*TNG* novel: *The Light Fantastic*)

Kanjis II

**Kanjis II** was a Class K planet in the Kanjis system, within Klingon space. The planet was frigid and prone to ice storms, but held large deposits of crystals, minerals and metallic ores that could be used in starship construction. While none were individually remarkable, the concentration of resources meant the planet was of great interest to the Klingon Empire.

In 2370, the Klingons established a colony there using habitat domes, and began a terraforming project expected to last several years. About six months into the project, a team of engineers and scientists from Starfleet joined the colonization effort as a gesture of friendship between the UFP and the Empire. The team was led by Dr. Armand Panusian.

While traveling to the Shackleton Expanse in mid-2372, the USS *Sally Ride* picked up a distress call from the Federation team on Kanjis II, who had been there approximately 18 months. By that time, relations between the Federation and Klingon personnel had deteriorated thanks to the rising tension between the Federation and the Empire following the Klingon invasion of the Cardassian Union. What seemed to be a virulent disease had struck the colony, resulting in the deaths of many Klingons, and eventually, Dr. Panusian himself. Following his death, leadership of the Starfleet team fell to Lieutenant Tristan Peylore. The *Sally Ride* crew discovered that the disease was actually a manifestation of a gaseous life-form whose young were being harmed by the terraforming project. The Starfleet team and the surviving Klingons were recovered, terminating the project, and the planet was placed under quarantine. (*Shield of Tomorrow*: "Time Waits for No One")

Mobeh sector

The **Mobeh sector** was an area of space deep within in the Klingon Empire, also known by the Federation designation **Sector 21166**. Its Klingonese name translated roughly to "a place of exile or isolation." Though many mineral-rich worlds and systems lay within the sector, many of which held the Imperial mines and penal colonies, there were few capable of supporting life. The area was known for its inhospitable nature, a place no Klingon warrior would wish to be sent, and was seen as a convenient dumping ground for dissidents, criminals and political prisoners. The Empire's most infamous prison, Rura Penthe, was located in Mobeh sector.

The Mobeh sector contained roughly a dozen notable star systems, with no Class M planets. The Hurgh Nebula supernova remnant lay on the border, with sections penetrating deeper into the sector. The ancient catastrophe that created the nebula was believed to have irradiated the nearby systems, resulting in their sterile condition and accounting for the presence of such large deposits of dilithium and other rare elements. The density and radiation of the nebula obscures sensor readings and communications, and makes navigating portions of the sector extremely difficult and potentially dangerous.

Circa 2371, the sector was predominately controlled by the House of Voss, a minor house allied with the much stronger House of Kang. At that time, the House of Chang sought to gain control over the sector and its resources as an advanced base for the planned invasion of the Raknor sector. (LUG: *Blood & Honor: The Klingons*)

Ortikant

The **Ortikant** was a Romulan clan, based in the city of Rateg, on Romulus. They were the most powerful clan among the Hundred, and wielded vast wealth, exerting great influence over the Romulan Star Empire and even beyond its borders.

In ancient times, they ruled their territories from their fortress, Stronghold Ortikant. In those days, the clan had a reputation as despots and tyrants.

Gell Kamemor was descended from one of the central families of the Ortikant. Upon the death of her great-grandfather in the early 2380s, she became the leading elder of the clan, the last before the destruction of the Hearthworlds. (*Star Trek: Typhon Pact* novel: *Rough Beasts of Empire*).

Marchetti

**Marchetti** was a human Starfleet officer serving in the operations division during the late 24th century. In the 2380s, he was assigned to the USS *Pendragon*, where he held a variety of posts. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*: "Not Home Yet", "Whispers As Loud As Thunder", "Of Shadows and Starlight", "To Face the Gathering Storm", "The Argonaut Syndrome", "The Way to Camlann", "Above the Wrecks of Time")

*Based on commentary for "The Way to Camlann," Marchetti's first name may have been **Anders**.*
Mozinphar

The **Mozinphar** were an Orion *caj*. They were leaders of the Orion colony on Ectair. The family was founded as a dynasty during the mid-23rd century by Emerak Mozinphar, a former pirate captain and slave trader who fled the Rigel system during one of the many crackdowns against Orion activities. He and a small fleet of starships identified themselves as political refugees, and went in search of greener pastures. They eventually came into the region known as the Outback, and settled on Ectair. Emerak became the planet's first Master, and developed it into a neutral free trade-world.

Emerak led his *caj* for nearly thirty years, and demonstrated great skill as both a businessman and a diplomat. In the 2270s he helped negotiate the Treaty of Ectair. Upon his death circa 2285, leadership of the *caj* passed to his son Amehda Mozinphar, who unfortunately proved himself to be far less capable a leader than his father. He was incompetent, selfish and unscrupulous, easily dominated by Ectair's business leaders and more interested in luxury and the trappings of power, and amounted to little more than a petty tyrant who ruled his fiefdom with absolute authority. (FASA: *A Doomsday Like Any Other*)
