Changes: Kolarus III

Revision as of 19:15, 4 July 2015

Kolarus III was the inhabited third planet in the Kolarin system. It was located in Federation territory near the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Kolarus III was first charted in 2379 as the Prime Directive interdicted any earlier interference with the native pre-warp civilization, consisting of isolated pockets of humanoids in an early stage of industrial development. The planet was dominated by vast savannas and deserts with little surface water. It had an orbit of 1.2 AU about Kolarus Prime, and a mass of 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg. Combined with its atmosphere mixture O₂/N₂, it could support Human life.

That year the Federation starship USS Enterprise-E visited the planet following a positronic signal. The signal was emitted by parts of the Soong-type android, B-4, which were scattered over a few kilometers over the planet's surface. After a surface team collected the parts, they were attacked by the planet's natives, which, however, posed no serious threat for the team's superior technology, so they easily escaped. This mission was Captain Jean-Luc Picard's first use of the new shuttlecraft Argo. (Star Trek Nemesis)

-''Curiously, the ''Enterprise'' crew seemed to commit a major violation of the Prime Directive in flying down to the surface of Kolarus III with advanced technology, to say nothing of shooting at the natives. (''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'') One might speculate that the natives had already been exposed to offworlders, perhaps the [[Romulans]] since they probably have no prime directive of their own. If this is the case, then the damage to the native culture may have already been done. [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]] also states that ''"There's no forseeable danger"'', indicating that the landing party was beaming down to an unpopulated area, so they may have considered actual contact with the natives of Kolarus III unlikely.''
-''It should also be noted that the ''Enterprise'' was investigating this planet in response to detecting [[positronic]] technology which revealed a level of expertise at least equal to that of [[warp drive]]. There are precedents which show that the Federation is willing to make contact with [[species]] who they believe to have developed an advanced level of technology while unable or unwilling to develop warp drive, such as the events in [[TNG]]: "[[Encounter at Farpoint]]". Interestingly enough in both cases, the advanced technology discovered is not an original product of the indigenous population.''
