Changes: Torothan homeworld

Revision as of 22:24, 8 October 2015

The Torothan homeworld was a planet, homeworld to an unnamed species of Humanoids. From orbit, it looked like the planet was nothing but sand, and indeed it had a desert larger than any on Earth. However, it did have a handful of lakes and small seas. It contained at least one continent, and had a number of cities.

A city "on the far side of the desert" was mentioned, implying other non-desert regions.

Several clans existed on the planet, with government in the hands of the Torothan clan which also controlled most land and resources.

During the 2150s, the planet was in conflict. A caste system that had been in place for centuries had been abandoned, but people expecting to finally be treated equally found that little had changed and Torothans were still dominant. After trying protests and the courts, the lower castes had turned to terrorism. In 2152, Captain Jonathan Archer and Charles Tucker of the Enterprise NX-01 were invited by Zobral for a meal and participation in a game of Geskana at his encampment on this planet. The Starfleet officers agreed, but when Torothan forces began to bombard the rebel complex, they fled into the deserts of the planet.

At this time, the planet had a orbital detection grid. This system, however, had narrow gaps that could be penetrated, albeit with difficulty. (ENT: "Desert Crossing")

Toroth orbited a A-type main-sequence star. Enterprise visited this planet on February 12, 2152. This non-aligned planet was located in the Beta Quadrant.
