6.4 Halka to Lambda

I-370 (-217.9, 7.2, -141.4)

Originally, seven planets orbiting a moderate orange star. All the planets in the system were destroyed by an intergalactic berserker.

I-374 (-215.7, 7.5, -139.5)

A red giant originally orbited by eight planets. The first three planets were destroyed by the berserker.

Lambda Persei see: Typerias

Lavinius (140.7, 11.1, -10.4)

A bright blue star with ten planets (class 0 facilities). At one time, the fifth planet was inhabited by an intelligent spacefaring civilization that predates the Vegan Tyranny. Little is known of this civilization, as the inhabitants seem to have destroyed most of their own artifacts after the invasion of flying parasites two hundred years ago.

M 24-Alpha (-85.5, -59.1, -75.8)

Triskelion is the second planet of a moderate size yellow star in this trinary system composed of two yellow stars and a white dwarf orbiting a common center of gravity (class 0 facilities). Once the home of an intelligent technological civilization, the Triskelions now exist only as disembodied intellects in subsurface vaults. The planet has a small and very disparate humanoid colony, which was recently given self-government through Federation intervention. Pop: 480

M 43-Alpha (72.8, -29.1, -68.7)

A trinary system, with ten planets orbiting the moderate yellow primary (class 0 facilities). The fourth planet, Ekos, and the fifth planet, Zeon, are Class M with large humanoid populations. Although Ekosians and Zeons are branches of the same humanoid race, both planets claim to be the species' home world. The late John Gill was Federation cultural advisor to this system. Total pop: 16.1 billion

Prohibited P-339. This system is protected under the Prime Directive of Non-Interference, and any unauthorized contact with its natives is expressly forbidden.

Makus (-8.6, 124.6, 32.5)

The third planet of eight orbiting a moderate size yellow star (class 2 facilities), Makus is a frontier world, colonized within the last century. In addition to a small Star Fleet supply base, the planet supports a thriving agricultural colony (pop: 71,000) which exports native foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals.

Maluria [Omega Cygni] (58.2, 9.1, 14.6)

A system of ten planets orbiting a red-orange giant, and at one time the home system of an advanced and peaceful humanoid race with remarkable prescient abilities (pop: 4.0 billion). A small Federation contact team was situated on planet IV until all four inhabited worlds in the system (planets II through V) were sterilized by the Nomad probe in 2262. Current plans are to re-introduce basic flora and fauna to these worlds for eventual re-colonization.

Manark (-53.1, -45.1, -12.0)

A red giant orbited by four planets (class 0 facilities), Manark supports no populated worlds, although the fourth planet is Class G and is marginally habitable. The sandbat, native to this planet, is a dangerous avian life-form that can kill almost instantaneously, by injecting carbonic acid into the bloodstream.

Marcos (26.9, 82.8, -2.2)

The twelfth planet of twelve orbiting a moderate-size orange star (class 2 facilities), Marcos supports a mixed humanoid population, of humans, Vulcans, and Vegans, that has developed a viable form of anarchistic government. Although a Federation member, the colony of about six million is largely self-sufficient, and has resisted entry into the interstellar market.

Marcus (42.6, 20.4, 10.6)

In a system of four planets orbiting a moderate size red-orange star (class 1 facilities), Marcus is the second world and is the home of a small humanoid society of about 2.4 million. At one time a large industrial civilization rating F on the Richter Scale, the Marcusites never developed space flight, and instead fought a number of devastating nuclear wars. A dwindling population now rates less than E-, and is noteworthy only for its artistic accomplishments, such as those of the reknowned artist Sten, who lived during the last century.

Medusa (27.2, 137.6, -41.3)

A binary system composed of a bright white star and a yellow dwarf companion (class 2 facilities), Medusa supports a system of eight planets, the fourth of which is inhabited. Although Medusa IV has been surveyed only by unmanned probes, it is typical for a Class C world, the surface blanketed in dense layers of carbon dioxide. The Medusans, intelligent non-corporeal life-forms, have followed a unique evolutionary path and seem to be largely electromagnetic in nature. Contact between the Medusans and the Federation has been brief (the planet was discovered c. 2257), but they have already demonstrated an extremely advanced scientific culture, and telepathic powers unlike any others in the known galaxy.

Melkot (-76.9, -145.9, -12.7)

The second planet of nine planets orbiting the home star of the Melkotians, a non-humanoid race. Although surveyed only briefly, planet II is apparently Class M, with no surface features visible from orbit. The Melkotians have agreed to limited cultural exchange with the Federation, and additional data is withheld pending the report of the contact team.

Prohibited P-211. The Melkotians have established a spherical network of buoys surrounding their home system, and until recently would not allow any spacecraft to enter this region. Until formal trade agreements are completed, the boundaries of Melkotian space are to be respected.

Memory Alpha (116.9, 115.5, 0.0)

Memory Alpha was established in 2229 for the Federation Centennial celebration as a central library-computer complex, providing access for all races to the total knowledge of the Federation. Located on a small Class J planetoid (class 2 facilities) moved into a precise location on the Federation plane, the Memory Alpha complex was opened to the general public in 2231. Partially destroyed by the Zetars in 2263, large sections of the library-computer are now being overhauled. Resident pop: 600
