Carraya sector

The **Carraya sector** was a region of space in the Beta Quadrant, one of several sectors where the borders of United Federation of Planets and Romulan Star Empire met. Located in the Thread of space between the main body of the Federation and the Canopus Core, it was adjacent to the Azure and Qiris sectors, not far from the Triangle and the Klingon Empire. The Carraya system was the sector's primary point of interest, and it also contained a portion of the Azure Nebula. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I"; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Following the destruction of Romulus and the collapse of the Star Empire, the Carraya sector became neutral space. Romulan survivors settled on a number of worlds in the sector, and the influx of refugees also brought an increase in piracy and other criminal activities from those who sought to prey on the weak. With the Federation and Starfleet looking to their own affairs, the defense of the sector's colonies was taken on by the Fenris Rangers. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*)

Groumall class

The ***Groumall* class** was a type of starship used by the Cardassian Union beginning in the mid-24th century. The primary role of the class was as a freighter, but its modular design also allowed it to serve as a transport for ground troops. (DS9: "Return to Grace", et. al)

The *Groumall* class was developed during the height of the Bajoran Occupation, as a replacement for the outdated and inadequate vessels like *Bok'nor*-class, and entered service circa 2351. (Decipher: *Starships*)

During the Dominion War, some ships of this class were upgraded, and outfitted with spiral-wave disruptors, replacing their original, antiquated phasers. This upgraded version was known as the ***Salgar* class**. (LUG: *Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 2: Starships of the Cardassian Union*)

After the war, many *Groumall*-class vessels were sold to third parties as military surplus, and from the mid-2370s on, it was not uncommon to see them operated by independent pilots, or as part of the planetary fleets of non-aligned worlds. (*Walkabout*)

During that era, Brian Mallory worked on at least three separate *Groumall*-class freighters as a pilot, including the SS *Walkabout* and SS *Warden*. (*Walkabout*)

By the early 25th century, the design had been copied, and was being sold commercially by both Cardassian and Ferengi manufacturers as the ***Tuffli* class**, which came in standard, long or short configurations. Among those vessels were the SS *Azura* and her successor, the SS *Azura II*. (*Star Trek Online*)

Cardassian Affairs

**Cardassian Affairs** (aka "the **Cardassian desk**") was an office within Starfleet Intelligence tasked with monitoring, assessing, investigating and liaising with the Cardassian Union. (*PIC* novel: *Second Self*)

Circa 2400, political considerations made it impossible for the office of Cardassian Affairs or their colleagues at the Romulan desk to intervene in a delicate situation on the planet Ordeve, either to assist in extraditing a Cardassian war criminal to Bajor or to help the Romulan refugees that had been welcomed there by the Cardassian colonists after the supernova of 2387. (*PIC* novel: *Second Self*)
Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet

The **Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet** (abbreviated **C-in-C** or **CNC**) was the highest post within the Federation Starfleet, and was held by the senior-most Fleet Admiral (or "Grand Admiral"). The C-in-C held complete operational authority over Starfleet, and reported directly to the President of the United Federation of Planets, the C-in-C's only superior, as well as the Federation Council. Appointment to the position required confirmation by the Federation Council. (*Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country*; PIC: "Remembrance"; DSC: "Die Trying"; *TOS* novel: *The Ashes of Eden*)

*The title has also been used interchangeably (and incorrectly) with Commander, Starfleet (or "head of Starfleet Command") and occasionally, Starfleet Chief of Staff, though both are actually independent positions subordinate to the C-in-C.*

Ghioghe (planet)

**Ghioghe** was a Class M planet which lent its name to its star system. It was located at the edge of the Triangle region in the Beta Quadrant, close to the border between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, less than five light-years from Nimbus III. (*TOS* novel: *Enterprise: The First Adventure*; *Yesterday's Heroes*)

The planet and its system were rich in dilithium, and exported the mineral to many worlds and the major powers of the region. Such was its strategic importance that it was in everyone's best interests to protect the system's neutrality. This changed suddenly in 2263, when a group of Orions invaded and annexed Ghioghe, sparking a crisis that nearly plunged the entire quadrant into open war. (*Yesterday's Heroes*)

Epsilon 19

**Epsilon 19** was a Federation space station in the Beta Quadrant, active during the 24th century. It located in the Osarian system at the edge of the Shackleton Expanse.

Established to study the Osarian star and observe the nearby Endurance Divide nebula, Epsilon 19 also served as a waypoint between Starbase 364 and the interior regions of the Expanse.

In 2371, the station's commanding officer was Commander Erich Johnson. (STA: *Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide*)

Arog

**Arog** was a Ferengi male serving in the Federation Starfleet during the early 25th century. He had been inspired to join Starfleet by Captain Nog.

While on away missions, he typically wore a traditional Ferengi energy whip as a sidearm.

*The character of Arog was created as a tribute to the late actor Aron Eisenberg and his role of Nog from* Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*.*
Eisn

**Eisn** or **Ket-cheleb** was a star with a planetary system in the Beta Quadrant. Known by a number of other names, including **Romulus** and **128 Trianguli** to the Federation, it was orbited by four planets, including the worlds Romulus and Remus, the hearthworlds of the Romulan Star Empire. The literal translation of the name Eisn from Rihannsu was "**homesun**".

During their long journey from Vulcan, the travelers who would become known as Romulans discovered the system almost by chance, after more than a hundred years of wandering and the loss of most of their fleet. From their vantage point, it was seen past an orange binary system, amidst a cluster of K type dwarf stars which formed a "rosette" shape. (*TOS* novel: *The Romulan Way*; LUG: *The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire*; *ST* novel: *Vulcan's Soul*: *Exiles*)

In 2387, the star erupted in a supernova that destroyed its system and rendered many worlds within a sphere of 10 light years uninhabitable. The supernova would have kept expanding through subspace, its effects propagating farther. To prevent this, Ambassador Spock of Vulcan used red matter to collapse Eisn into a self-terminating singularity, though he was too late to save the Romulan hearthworlds.

Ismail Asenzi

Doctor **Ismail Asenzi** was a male Human Starfleet officer who served as assistant chief medical officer aboard the Template:USS in 2364. When Lieutenant Torres was frozen by Q when he boarded the *Enterprise*, Asenzi and a medical team were called to the bridge to treat him. He also gave a tour of sickbay to Beverly Crusher when she came aboard at Farpoint Station. He organized a staff meeting at the request of Beverly Crusher for the sickbay staff. (*TNG* novel: *Encounter at Farpoint*)

He departed the *Enterprise* sometime after the Farpoint mission, and was eventually succeeded as assistant CMO by Dr. Selar. (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")

Dennisar

**Dennisar** was a 24th century Orion male who served in Starfleet as a non-commissioned officer. By 2381, he held the rank of chief petty officer and served in the security department aboard the USS *Titan*. He remained in that post at least until 2385. (*TTN* novel: *Gods of Night*, *The Poisoned Chalice*)

Cimera III

**Cimera III** was an M-class world in the Cimera system, and the site of a pre-Federation Andorian colony. The Andorians made first contact with Orions when traders came to the planet in 1934. The following year, the Am Tal was founded on Cimera III. (LUG: *The Andorians: Among the Clans*)

Jaros III

**Jaros III** was third planet of the Jaros system, one of two Class M worlds in the system. Unlike the arid Jaros II, Jaros III possesed a temperate climate, and supported a wide variety of flora and fauna. A Federation colony was located there. (*Star Trek Generations*; *Star Trek: The Fall* novel: *The Poisoned Chalice*)

Dark Range Platform

The **Dark Range Platform** was an ancient space station located between the borders of the United Federation of Planets frontier and the Klingon Empire's Old Regions. It had seemingly haphazard supports stretched out like demented spider webs coiled around a confusion of life-support spheres and cylinders installed by a dozen races over the platform's millennia of service, as well as cargo bays with large metal doors and no tractor beams to guide shuttles (who have to leave under manual control) or force fields to hold in atmospheric pressure and heat. It was guessed that it might have been a transfer point for vast flotillas of starships, probably even for the Preservers. No one knew who built it, and at the same time no one cared. As neither the Federation or the Klingons wanted any claim on the station, it became a backwater refueling stop, a haven for criminals, smugglers, and cut-throats from across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, as well as a starting point for dreamers seeking fortune among the stars (who in turn would get their fortune stolen by said smugglers and cutthroats).

In 2293, Pavel Chekov, Nyota Uhura, and a woman named Jade (actually Ariadne Drake), were sent to the station by Starfleet Intelligence to investigate the sale of Klingon military hardware by renegade Klingons. Using cover names and a convincing cover story of being renegade Starfleet officers with a grudge, Chekov and Uhura were able to arrange a meeting with Kort, a Klingon smuggler, inside one of the platforms cargo bays.

As the meeting took place, Jade betrayed Chekov and Uhura and stunned them with her phaser. After discussing obtaining information about the *chalchaj'qmey* with Kort, she prepared to leave. Unfortunately, for Chekov and Uhura, Jade was ordered to kill them, so they were placed in the platform's launch bay where they would either be killed by her transport's thrusters or the decompression of the bay. Fortunately, the officers were rescued by the USS *Excelsior*. (*TOS* novel: *The Ashes of Eden*)

Epsilon Eridani

**Epsilon Eridani** was a star in the Beta Quadrant, approximately 10 light years from Sol. It had a system of at least five planets. The United Earth Starfleet had several outposts in the system during the mid-22nd century. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Great Rift

The **Great Rift** is an area of sparse star count between the Sagittarius and Orion Arms in the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy, laying coreward of the United Federation of Planets.

It was little explored by the Federation until the dispatch of the USS *Marignano* in 2369. (*TNG* novel: *Intellivore*)

Prior to the *Marignano'*s mission, however, Lt. Commander Hwiii ih'iie-uUlak!ha' "hitched a ride" aboard a Lalairu vessel traveling through the region, in order to conduct his research into subspace hyperstring structure. They ventured into the area "above" the Great Rift and the galactic plane. In 2367, the Lalairu rendezvoused with the USS *Enterprise* near the Great Rift and Commander Hwiii transferred aboard to continue his research. (*TNG* novel: *Dark Mirror*)

Star systems near this region include 22 Ophiuchi, 127 Scorpii, 334 Scorpii, 1440 Ophiuchi B V, 1616 Ophiuchi VI, 1865 Serpens, B Hydri, Beta Ophiuchi VI, and Chi Scorpii. (*TNG* novel: *Intellivore*)

Elieth

**Elieth** was a Vulcan male, the son of Tuvok and T'Pel. Born in 2319, he was one of the middle two of four siblings, his eldest brother was Sek, and youngest sister was Asil.

He moved from Vulcan to Deneva around 2370, and eventually joined the Deneva Civil Defense Corps, following in his father's footsteps as a law enforcement officer.

Sometime between 2371 and 2378, Elieth married Ione Kitain, a Betazoid woman, and they began a family.

*In the* Detiny *timeline, Elieth and Ione were killed when Deneva was destroyed during the Borg invasion of 2381. (*Star Trek: Destiny *novel:* Lost Souls*)*

Hur'q

The **Hur'q** (*tlhIngan Hol* for "outsider") were an ancient species which invaded and conquered Q'onoS in the 14th century. They were eventually driven off by the Klingons, but before they left, they stripped the planet of most of its resources and plundered many artifacts, including the Sword of Kahless. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")

Eventually the Klingons were able to reverse engineer Hur'q technology, which allowed them to build interstellar ships and achieve warp flight. (*Star Trek: Klingon Academy*; *TLE* novel: *The Art of the Impossible''*)

By the mid-24th century, Hur'q DNA sequences were known, though they were thought long-extinct. In 2372, a Vulcan survey team discovered Hur'q ruins on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant, which began a series of events that led to the eventual recovery of the Sword of Kahless. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")

The Klingon geneticist Gothmara experimented with Hur'q DNA for many years, including re-coding her son Morjod's own biology to transform him into a Hur'q hybrid when certain genetic sequences were activated. The transformation was triggered during Morjod's assault on Boreth in 2376. (*DS9* novel: *The Left Hand of Destiny, Book Two*)

Later investigations provided conflicting data on the origins and nature of the Hur'q, leading to several theories of their development and history, including the notion that they were not one single species, but a collective of several. Gothmara's experiments resulted in a being that had an oversized head, black eyes, a long grey tongue and narrow lips, with wide, broad shoulders and four arms, with three fingers and two thumbs on each hand. (*DS9* novel: *The Left Hand of Destiny, Book Two*)

It was most commonly accepted that the Hur'q had at least some insectoid characteristics. When the Kam'Jahtae invaded the Alpha Quadrant circa 2377, it was discovered that they were genetic ancestors of the Hur'q. (*Star Trek: Invasion*)

The Hur'q reappeared in the early 25th century and entered into to a conflict with the Dominion which ravaged much of the Gamma Quadrant. The Hur'q homeworld of Havas-Kul was discovered, which led to the revelation that the Dominion had experimented on the Hur'q 2,000 years before, in one of their earlier, failed attempts to breed shock troops (later attempts would eventually yield the Jem'Hadar).

Livnah

**Livnah** was a female Tyrakhean Starfleet officer during the late 24th century. By 2386, she held the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was the Chief Science Officer aboard the *Luna*-class USS *Titan*.

A member of a nomadic species, Livnah had ash-white skin and intricate, black facial markings. She was described as "long-limbed and willowy, possessing a fierce intellect." Aboard the *Titan*, she habitually wore an aural relay module in one ear, taking in raw sensor data from her science station. (*PIC* novel: *The Dark Veil*)

Corvallen

The **Corvallens** were a humanoid species, distinguished by having rough, crackled skin that resembled a patchwork or mosaic pattern. During the 24th century, they were heavily involved in interstellar trade and commerce, and many Corvallans owned or served on freighters or transport vessels. Some hired themselves out as mercenaries, or worked for groups like the Orion Syndicate.

During the 2360s and 2370s, Corvallen freighters commonly operated near the Romulan Star Empire, as well as the Bajor sector and areas around the Cardassian Union. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy", "Firstborn"; DS9: "Necessary Evil", "Chimera", et. al)

Federation members

The United Federation of Planets was comprised of many planetary and interstellar states, all of which had applied for membership and gone through a process of approval. Each **Federation member** was represented on the Federation Council, and citizens of many member worlds served in the Federation Starfleet.

The term "Federation member" could be imprecise, as different levels of membership existed. It typically referred to "full" members, though could include associate members, colonial members or even Federation protectorates.

## History

### Founding members

The UFP was founded in 2161 by five members states: the United Earth, the Confederacy of Vulcan, the Andorian Empire, the United Planets of Tellar and the Alpha Centauri Concordium of Planets. (ENT: "Zero Hour"; *Star Fleet Technical Manual*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*; *ST* novel: *Articles of the Federation*; *PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*, et. al)

As the Centaurii worlds were either originally Earth colonies which had gained independence or otherwise populated by human offshoot species, humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites were often referred to as the "Founding *Four*," rather than "five." (*Star Trek: Pendragon*; *PIC* novel: *The Last Best Hope*)

### A growing union

In 2188, Federation membership reached 100 systems. That numbere had tripled by 2217. (AlexR: *Adjusted Canon Timeline*)

> *Presumably that number included not just full members, but also colonies, outposts and other possessions.*
>
>

Fifty years later, in 2267, James T. Kirk told Zefram Cochrane that the Federation was "on a thousand planets and spreading out." (TOS: "Metamorphosis")

According to Jean-Luc Picard, by 2373, the Federation had 150 member worlds, and was spread over 8,000 light-years. (*Star Trek: First Contact*)

At its peak in the 31st century, the UFP had some 350 member worlds. After the Burn, the Federation fractured, and by 3189, only 39 member planets were known to Federation Headquarters. (DSC: "Die Trying")

Fontana Station

A painting of Fontana Station in orbit over Babel, with the planetoid's three moons in the background.

## Specifications

### Crew

275 Starfleet personnel
200 civilians

**Fontana Station** was a *Tranquility*-class Federation starbase in orbit of the planet Babel, in service during the late 23rd century.

Construction began on the station in 2274, when it was deemed the habitat dome on Babel itself was too outdated and no longer sufficient to host diplomatic conferences. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers soon began construction of a small starbase in orbit, and Fontana Station was completed in 2286, officially commissioned on stardate 8047.5. It was named after and dedicated to the memory of United Earth Ambassador Dorothy C. Fontana, who first proposed a conference at Babel in 2154, and would go on to help write the Federation Charter. The station's motto was a quote from Albert Camus: "Peace is the only battle worth waging."

At the time of its commissioning, Fontana Station had state-of-the-art diplomatic facilities and other amenities, which included 32 conference rooms of various sizes; extensive shuttlebays and large-scale transporters; and multiple independent environmental systems for many different species. The starbase could host at least 250 diplomatic guests at a time. Its operations center was on Deck 03. (*Fontana Station* by Tadeo D'Oria)

A painting of the station hung in Captain Jean-Luc Picard's quarters during his command of the USS *Enterprise*-D from 2363 to 2371. (TNG: "Sarek", "Attached", et. al)

## Background

* The concept and background for Fontana Station was devised by digital artist Tadeo D'Oria, who conceived it in tribute to D.C. Fontana after her passing in 2019. He based it on Rick Sternbach's space station painting which had hung in Captain Picard's quarters through all seven seasons of TNG, and associated it with Babel because it matched the description of the planet and its moons in *Star Trek Maps*.

Earth

**Earth** (also known as **Sol III** or **Terra**) was the Class-M third planet planet of the Sol system, on the border of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants of the Milky Way galaxy. It was the homeworld of several sentient species, most notably Humans, and was the capital of the United Federation of Planets and original location of Starfleet Headquarters and Starfleet Academy. As the Federation's capital and one of its core worlds, Earth played a major role in galactic events for at least a millennium, from the 22nd century to the 32nd century and beyond. Its strategic importance sometimes made it a target for adversaries such as the Romulan Star Empire, the Dominion and the Borg.

Earth's first warp flight took place in 2063, after the planet's Third World War. That event led to first contact between humans and Vulcans, and ushered in an era of hope and renewal for the ravaged planet. (*Star Trek: First Contact*; ENT: "Broken Bow")

Earth had one moon, called Luna. By the 22nd century, a number of orbital facilities and habitats were also in place.

Deneb Kaitos II

**Deneb Kaitos II**, often simply called **Deneb II**, was a Class M planet in the Deneb Kaitos system in the Alpha Quadrant. It was colonized by the inhabitants of Deneb V in the 20th century, and starting in the 2150s became home to a significant human population as well. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Deneb II was the location of several murders committed by the Redjac entity, there known as "Kesla", sometime prior to 2266. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")

Beaulieu's World

**Beaulieu's World** was a former Federation colony in the Demilitarized Zone, ceded to the Cardassian Union by treaty in 2370.

Late in that year, Cardassian forces attacked Beaulieu's World in an offensive against the Maquis, and slaughtered many of the colonists, most of whom had nothing to do with the insurgents. Tharia ch'Ren's bondmates were among those killed. (*VOY* novel: *The Third Artifact*)

Bonaventure (C1-21)

The ***Bonaventure* (C1-21)** was a mid-21st century spacecraft, originally built as an interplanetary scout, before being converted into Earth's second warp-capable ship, the successor to Zefram Cochrane's prototype *Phoenix*. (*Star Trek Chronology*)

With secret funding from Micah Brack, Zefram Cochrane equipped the *Bonaventure* with his superimpellor engine and converted the ship for faster-than-light travel. In 2064, Cochrane piloted *Bonaventure* on Earth's first interstellar flight to Alpha Centauri. Cochrane became the first human to set foot on an extrasolar planet and breathe a life-sustaining alien atmosphere. The round-trip journey took two hundred and forty-three days (roughly eight months), and *Bonaventure* returned to Sol system on 19 March, 2065, docking at Christopher's Landing, Titan.

Mere hours later, *Bonaventure* left the system again, Brack having convinced Cochrane to flee Colonel Adrik Thorsen of the Optimum Movement who wanted to suppress his research or turn it into a weapon of mass destruction. By the time Thorsen arrived at Brack's compound on Titan, Cochrane was gone, and Brack had broadcast all the designs, logs and specifications of *Bonaventure* and the superimpellor engine back to the inner planets, giving his patents away and thereby "letting the genie out of the bottle."

Within months, other companies were retrofitting existing sublight vessels with superimpellors, and by the next year, new ships like the SS *Valiant* had been constructed and launched. Thanks to Cochrane and Brack, Earth's first great space boom began, and *Bonaventure'*s legacy would be honored for centuries to come. (*ST* novel: *Federation*)

Hetch drive

A **hetch drive** was a type of faster-than-light propulsion, analogous to warp drive, used by the Sebaceans, Scarrans, Luxans and other starfaring civilizations in and around the Uncharted Territories on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy.

Unlike the near-instantaneous speed burst made by warp engines, vessels utilizing hetch drives required extended periods of acceleration to reach their top speed, both of which varied based on their mass. Larger ships took longer to attain their maximum speed, which was faster than that of smaller vessels, and could sustain it for a greater length of time.

In the early 21st century, it was calculated that a ship moving at then-maximum hetch speeds would take roughly 60 cycles (or years) to travel from the Uncharted Territories to Earth.

Hetch speed calculations seemed to follow an exponential, asymmetric scale. Speeds less than Hetch 1 were basic sublight velocities, with Hetch 1 itself approximately two to four times the speed of sound. Hetch 2 speeds were relativistic, approaching the speed of light. At the other end of the curve, Hetch 9 was 1,600 times the speed of light, the rough equivalent of Warp 9 to Warp 9.1 on the 24th century Federation scale.

Koltaari (planet)

**Koltaari** was a Class M planet in the Beta Quadrant, near the Federation-Romulan border in the early 2300s. It was home to the Koltaari species, as well as many valuable natural resources.

The planet was occupied by the Romulan Star Empire for several months in 2311. The Romulans used the native population as slave labor to mine the dilithium, pergium, cormaline and bilitrium deposits on the planet. The occupation ended after the Tomed Incident, and Koltaari then became a Federation protectorate world while the UFP helped the Koltaari recover from their tragic first contact with the galactic community. (*TLE* novel: *Serpents Among the Ruins*)

By 2380, Koltaari had become a Federation member. (*Star Trek: Pendragon*: "Still Comes the Dawn")

Ktaris

**Ktaris**, also known as **Ktaria** or **Ktar**, was a Class M planet in the Alpha Quadrant, and the homeworld of the Ktarians.

The Arpasian Range was a group of mountains in the planet's northern hemisphere. The region was known for high winds and intense hail storms. Elsewhere on the planet, there were lush jungles that were home to many kinds of wildlife. (VOY: "Child's Play"; *VOY* novel: *Atonement*)

Maxia sector

The **Maxia sector** was a region of space in the Alpha Quadrant, part of the Maxia sector block. Named for the constellation of Maxia, the sector was near the edge of Federation territory from the 23rd through mid-24th centuries, not far from the Ferengi Alliance and the Ubarrak Primacy. (*TNG* novel: *The Buried Age*; *STA* novel: *Gauntlet*, *Maker*)

Starbase 32 was located in the Maxia sector. (TNG: "Violations" *set decoration*)

For two years in the early 2330s, a pirate known as the White Wolf raided numerous Federation cargo ships in the sector, and continually eluded capture by hiding among the many unusual features of the Beta Barritus system. The White Wolf was eventually stopped by Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS *Stargazer* in 2333. (*STA* novel: *Gauntlet*)

## Background

* The Maxia Zeta star system is *not* located in the Maxia sector, but is presumably in an adjacent sector. However, at least the presumptive Maxia Alpha system *is* likely to be in the sector, lending it its name.
* In Michael Jan Friedman's *Star Trek: Stargazer* novels, Starbase 32's area of operations was never referred to by name, but most of the stories were set in or near that "sector." The term "sector" as used in this context most likely refers to a group of sectors, part of a sector block. The *Stargazer* spent most of 2333 in that area, before being reassigned to a long-range deep space exploration mission.
* The ship returned to the Maxia sector in 2353 to deliver Jack Crusher's body "home" to Starbase 32, and was again (or still) in the general area two years later when it was lost at Maxia Zeta.

Nej'ta

**Nej'ta** was a 24th century Klingon male, born into the House of K'teywon. A warrior in the Klingon Defense Force, he challenged his captain and assumed command of his *bird-of-prey* in 2382. Having no living family of his own, he bonded with Ro Nevin, and they began a relationship which lasted until Nej'ta's death in late 2383. (*Star Trek: Hidden Frontier*)

Halka

**Halka** (or **Halka II**) was a planet in the Alpha Quadrant. The only Class M world in its star system, it was the home of the Halkan civilization. It was in the vicinity of Starbase 47 and the Tammeron system, antispinward of the Betreka Nebula. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; *Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library*)

The planet had large deposits of dilithium crystals, which brought it to the attention of the interstellar powers of the region. The Halkans, though, were staunchly pacifist and refused trade with all parties because they did not want to aide, even indirectly, in committing acts of violence.

In 2267, the USS *Enterprise* visited Halka in hopes of negotiating mining rights, but the mission was unsuccessful. While beaming back to the ship during an electromagnetic storm, the *Enterprise* landing party consisting of Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy, Chief Engineer Scott and Lieutenant Uhura, were accidentally transposed with their counterparts from another dimension. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")

Despite remaining independent, the Federation regarded Halka as under its protection, and Starfleet regularly patrolled the area to enforce the Halkans' sovereignty and prohibition against mining. (FASA: *The Federation*)

Circa 2281, the USS *Reliant* arrived at Halka to render aid after the planet had been attacked by Orions. Commander Pavel Chekov led a landing party, and learned that a local boy named Lojur had taken up arms against the raiders, and was cast out from his village, Kotha, for this transgression. Taking pity on the boy, Chekov gave him asylum aboard the *Reliant*. Lojur would go on to join Starfleet, and serve aboard the USS *Excelsior*. (*TLE* novel: *The Sundered*; *Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country*; VOY: "Flashback")

Mojov Station

**Mojov Station** was an independent spaceport facility and neutral trading station near the frontier and the borders of several powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. It was frequented by operatives of the Orion Syndicate and other "unsavory" characters. (*NF* novel: *House of Cards*)

Kalandra Minor

**Kalandra Minor** was a Class M planet in the Kalandra sector. It was first claimed by the Federation in late 22nd century, and was the site of Outpost T-22, intended as a jumping-off point for colonization efforts. However, most of the planets beyond it proved unsuitable for colonization, and Kalandra Minor and T-22 were abandoned in the 2260s.

The world then became a base of operations for a team of Romulan smugglers, believing that the Federation's disinterest in the planet would allow them to conduct their business without bother.

This proved true until 2362 (stardate 39022.4) when, with the continuing encroachment of the Cardassian Union, Starfleet decided to make T-22 an active base again. An away team from the USS *Aldrin* to Kalandra Minor was attacked by the smugglers, who were eventually captured or killed. (*NF* novel: *No Limits'**: Revelations*****)**

Iadara (planet)

**Iadara** was a temperate Class M planet in the system of the same name in the Alpha Quadrant. A Federation world, it was home to the **Iadara Colony**, established prior to the mid-23rd century. The planet was close to the borders of the Cardassian Union. (*Star Trek: Star Charts*; TNG: "Parallels"; *TOS* novel: *Unspoken Truth*)

Iadaran colonists spoke Federation Standard with a noticeable, "crisp" accent. Due to their world's proximity to the Cardassians, the colonists were tough, resourceful and not easily rattled. (*TOS* novel: *Unspoken Truth*)

By 2370, the Iadara Colony was known to be heavily involved in new starship construction for Starfleet. *In at least one quantum reality, Iadara was a target of Cardassian surveillance and espionage for that reason.* (TNG: "Parallels")

Pevensie's Emporium

**Pevensie's Emporium** was an establishment specializing in "books, tomes of lore, and other curiosities". The shop's proprietor was an elderly man named Clayton Pevensie. Like The Captain's Table bar, Pevensie's Emporium seemed to exist in some type of interdimensional pocket universe, appearing in various locations at various times.

Brian Mallory and Jay Allan encountered the Emporium on several occasions. It appeared on the planet Cascia in 2384, and on Starbase 185 in 2400. (*Kal-Dixas Spaceport*; *Walkabout*: "Lazy Harry's"; *Typhon Station*)
Cor Caroli IX

**Cor Caroli IX** was a Class M planet in the Cor Caroli system. It was the site of a small Vulcan colony established prior to the early 24th century. The colony's population only numbered in the hundreds.

In 2337, a one-man spacecraft crashed on Cor Caroli IX, piloted by a Romulan named Rajari. He was aided by a Vulcan woman named T'Pas, who Rajari raped and impregnated, resulting in the birth of Soleta, who was primarily raised on that world. (*NF* novel: *No Limits*)

In 2366, Cor Caroli was came under threat when its sister planet, Cor Caroli V was struck by an outbreak of Phyrox plague. Fortunately, medical personnel from the USS *Enterprise* were able to eradicate the disease before it could spread. (TNG: "Allegiance")

Multiverse

The **multiverse** is the term used to describe the group of theoretically infinite multiple universes. Together, these universes comprise the sum total of all reality. The matter of each universe resonated with a unique quantum signature, distinguishing it from that of other realities. As of 2370, more than 285,000 quantum realities were known to exist. It was further theorized that any number of multiverses might exist themselves within a larger "omniverse." (TNG: "Parallels")

The various realms within the multiverse could be referred to by different, mostly synonymous terms: alternate dimension, parallel universe, quantum reality, etc. Extra-dimensional realms such as fluidic space were also part of the multiverse.

Travel or "crossover" between universes could be accomplished through several means, including (but not limited to) quantum fissures, interphasic rifts, traversing the mycelial network or the time vortex, as well as certain types of transporter accidents. Beings such those of the Q Continuum were able to travel the multiverse at will. (TNG: "Parallels"; TOS: "Mirror, Mirror"; DS9: "Crossover"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly"; DSC: "Despite Yourself", *et. al*)

K'Kmarak class

### Armament:

2 FH-3 single emitter phaser banks (port and starboard); deflector shields; no torpedoes

### Support craft:

2 shuttlecraft

The ***K'Kmarak* class** was a type of Federation research vessel in use by Starfleet during the late 23rd century, first launched in the 2260s. Vessels of this class were named after historically significant Vulcan scientists, such as the lead ship's namesake. (FASA: *Stardate Magazine* vol 1, Issue 2)

The class was designed to fulfill exploration, scientific and research missions in the far reaches of Federation space, especially long duration expeditions to the galactic rim. They possessed the most extensive laboratory facilities of any contemporary Starfleet vessels. They were capable of performing in-depth planetary surveys, as well as observation of novae and other stellar phenomena.

By the mid-2280s, at least 14 *K'Kmarak* class vessels had been constructed, 8 in the "Mark I" configuration, followed by 6 "Mark III" ships. During their service period, ships of this class were instrumental in making first contact with several previously unknown species. (FASA: *Stardate Magazine* vol 1, Issue 2)

During their initial period of service (at least into the early 24th century), all ships of the class were crewed exclusively by Vulcans, and operated jointly between Starfleet, the Vulcan Science Council, and the Vulcan Expeditionary Group. (FASA: *Stardate Magazine* vol 1, Issue 2; *Star Trek: Pendragon*)

**Betazed** (also called **Cyndriel** or **Beta Veldonna V**), was a Class M planet in the Alpha Quadrant. It was the fifth planet of its star system, and had at least three moons. It was the homeworld of the Betazoid species. (TNG: "Menage a Troi"; *The Worlds of the Federation*; LUG: *Planets of the UFP*)

Betazed joined the United Federation of Planets sometime in the 2230s, and over the next century, became a prominent member of the Federation, with many Betazoids serving in Starfleet, the Federation Diplomatic Corps, and elsewhere. (*DSC* novel: *Drastic Measures*; *Star Trek: The Next Generation*)

The capital cities of Betazed were Medara and Rixx. (LUG: *Planets of the UFP*; *Star Trek: Star Charts*)

Lake Cataria was an inland body of water on Betazed; both it and the Opal Sea were popular vacation spots. Another feature famed for its beauty was Janaran Falls. (TNG: "All Good Things...", "Second Chances"; *Star Trek Nemesis*)

By the 24th century, Betazed had established a small colony on its neighboring planet, Darona. (*TNG* novel: *The Battle of Betazed*)

At the height of the Dominion War in 2374, Betazed fell to the combined forces of the Jem'Hadar and the Cardassian Union, and was occupied for several months before being liberated. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight", "The Sound of Her Voice"; *TNG* novel: *The Battle of Betazed*)

Confederacy of Vulcan

The **Confederacy of Vulcan** was the name of the Vulcan state. Its governing body was the Vulcan High Council, and its capital was in ShiKahr on Vulcan. In 2161, the Confederacy of Vulcan became one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets. (LUG: *The Way of Kolinahr: The Vulcans*)
