The homeworld of the Tyrellians is unique within the Federation, known for being only one of three inhabited planets to lack a magnetic pole, and one of only seven without any kind of atmosphere. <ref>[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tyrellia "Starship Mine"], Star Trek: The Next Generation</ref> This unusual situation is due to the as yet unexplained loss of the planet's geomagnetic field, which ultimately resulted in total atmospheric ablation by the solar winds of the binary stars. | The homeworld of the Tyrellians is unique within the Federation, known for being only one of three inhabited planets to lack a magnetic pole, and one of only seven without any kind of atmosphere. <ref>[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tyrellia "Starship Mine"], Star Trek: The Next Generation</ref> This unusual situation is due to the as yet unexplained loss of the planet's geomagnetic field, which ultimately resulted in total atmospheric ablation by the solar winds of the binary stars. | ||
While their homeworld grew more hostile to life, the Tyrellians created deep underground shelters, preparing to migrate their population to the first of Palan's habitable moons, Palanon, while the flora and fauna were to be moved to another habitable moon, Ereina. It is in these shelters that the current population live, protected from the intense solar radiation that bombards the planet's surface.

It is in these shelters that the current population live, protected from the intense solar radiation that bombards the planet's surface. A substantial part of this small population is an array of scientists dedicated to finding an answer to why the planet lost its geomagnetic field, and how it could be reestablished. Also present in large numbers are archeologists and engineers, dedicated to preserving the structures -- both underground and overground -- for the day when the Tyrellians can return home. | ||
Additionally, Starfleet has taken advantage of the planet's unique circumstances to establish a large space observatory complex. | Additionally, Starfleet has taken advantage of the planet's unique circumstances to establish a large space observatory complex. | ||
