Changes: Ficus sector

Revision as of 20:54, 4 July 2015

Expeditions from Sol System, 2123–2190 remastered — Ships from Earth, sent near the Ficus sector (2123 – 2190)

Ficus sector was a region of space, containing the Bringloid system and the planet Mariposa. This sector was adjacent to sectors 184 and 185.

In 2123, the SS Mariposa launched from Earth on a colonization mission to the Ficus sector. After traveling for decades, the Mariposa reached Bringloid V, where the first of two Earth colonies was established. Soon afterwards, the Mariposa crashed on Mariposa, with the survivors establishing the second colony.

Until 2365, Earth and the United Federation of Planets had no records of any Earth colonies in the Ficus sector. In 2365, one month prior to stardate 42823, the Federation starbase 73 picked up a distress call from this sector. The USS Enterprise-D investigated the call, which came from the colonists on Bringloid V, and evacuated them. They were delivered to Mariposa, where the two colonies were reunited. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")

In the script, the Ficus sector was identified as the Ficus quadrant. [1]

In the SCE eBook Out of the Cocoon, the joint colony became known as the United Ficus Colony.

-== Background ==
-Ficus was also the name of a character in the 1978 television show ''Quark''. This campy comedy science fiction show featured parodies of many science fiction shows and Ficus was a parody of [[Spock]].
+{{bginfo|In the script, the Ficus sector was identified as the Ficus quadrant. {{Star Trek Minutiae|academy/literature329/144.txt}}|In the [[Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers|SCE eBook]] ''{{dis|Out of the Cocoon|eBook}}'', the joint colony became known as the United Ficus Colony.}}
-Since the Ficus Sector is referenced with several [[in-jokes]], it is possible that the name of the sector is also a reference to the ''Quark'' series.

-According to the [[okudagram]] seen in the episode, the Ficus Sector may be either sector 184 or 185.
