| It's location is in a system outside of Federation controlled space or any other space controlled by any of the other major powers. It was discovered hundreds of years ago when first explorers of Earth, primarily of House Fanel, took upon themselves and left Earth behind for a new beginning. They used their vast amount of wealth and power to build fleets of ships in secret and took to the stars until reaching the edge of known space or at least the edge of current Federation space. The fleet of House Fanel ships discovered a nebula. It had strange properties and no ship was able to pass by it straight. One would have to make several complicated plotted warp jumps, each time always random to match the flow of the disturbance inside. Once through, the fleet discovered paradise. A planet that isn't unlike Earth. There were strange elements on this world, but all the same, even indigenous animal life was very similar to the kinds on Earth. Since this was before the founding of the Federation and the prime directive, House Fanel had reportedly disrupted the life of this planet. On this world, there were many small bands of humanoid, whose physical appearance and genetic make up is similar to humans. How this is possible, no one is able to determined. There were millions of these people already living on Gaia. When the colonists of House Fanel came to this world, they claimed the entire planet for themselves. The people living on this world, amazing at the advanced technology of the colonists, accepted them right away and blended into a more modern society. Before House Fanel came, the planet was in the middle of a Renaissance period. In less than 2 generations, the entire planet was transformed into a successful colony of humanity.

| For the most part, Gaia is an M-class planet with similar vegetations to Earth, a large ocean, though half and half ratio compared to Earth that has 70% in ocean. The urban areas are the typical advanced settings you would see in any highly developed civilizations, but there are many parts that preserved the nature to emphasize that Gaia is a paradise, not just some techno planet. There is a rather large moon that orbits close to the planet. It is close enough that on a good day, you can see the moon on the planet's surface. There are several bases and cities on this moon. The moon is called Karazon.

| House Fanel had named this planet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28mythology%29 Gaia], name of the Greek Goddess meaning "land" or in all technicality, another name for "Earth". Since no major power would dare to risk ships to lay claim to this unstable area surrounding the Gaian system, House Fanel was able to enjoy living undisturbed from outside problems until they decided to go out of their new home system and bring back technology to advanced themselves. Though in anticipation of any of the more aggressive powers in the quadrant, House Fanel had developed their own defenses, and a star force. There is no actual accounting by any of the major powers on the strength of the Fanelian Star Force and entire military, but based on the structure on how House Fanel operates, any individual man and woman of House Fanel is fully trained and capable of fighting in the name of his or her House. That being said, the total number of fighters, defenders, and serviceman in the Gaia system can literally range from thousands to millions.

| Every major city on Gaia has a constant dampening field to prevent the usage of particle weapons of any kind within the cities. It is a way to enforce the law against modern weapons. Hence this also prolongs the tradition of the way of the sword.

| ===Non-human life on Gaia===
| |
|
| |
| Aside from Species of lifeforms from the other worlds of the major power that decided to live on Gaia and within the little empire of Fanel, there are a number of native species on the main planet which would surprise many people. They each share characteristics of animals of Earth. Tigers, Wolves, Bulls apparently had taken a more humanoid form and are very sentient. Some have chosen to accept the wonders of modern technology and lived in the many cities and even are apart of military and all forms of civilization. Then there are some who are more to themselves. The interesting question is how these life forms came about on a planet such as Gaia, and how they are so similiar to their more feral cousins DNA wise. Besides their obvious similiarities to actual animals with no sentient, these other species on Gaia are more like other races and are respected as such. Many are even part of the Fanel blood line, not the main one, but part of it.

| Little is actually known about the many fleets of ships, or what sizes or designs that House Fanel has built and use under their own control. They having passes, aquired through the good graces of many of the major powers in the quadrant gives them some leeway to travel unrestricted. All under the table of course. Though technically a human settlement, the Gaia system sits outside of control of any known power. There is no claim from anyone for actual control of the system. That being said, House Fanel has had many ships built in the event a known power, say the Romulans, or Cardassians would come and try to claim the worlds within their small space. Rumors circled around that Gaia has a worldwide planetary defense network, possibly a planetary shield grid system. These rumors are hard to confirm because House Fanel refuses any ship trying to breach their space. Any trade with House Fanel is through 3rd party channels and supply runs go from the system directly to the suppliers and back. That aside, the entire system itself is very self sufficient and can last indefinitely if every an attempted blockade from outside the nebula ever occurs, but that scenario is unlikely figuring the size of the circumference of the nebula around the system is extremely wide and thick, no amount of ship by any singular power can successfully blockade it even if it was worth it.

| Present 3 types of ships have already been revealed. The smallest so far is a shuttle tyle, though armed to the teeth. One named the Edison which is a Zacorus class Freighter. This one has a design slightly similar to the [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Delta_Flyer Delta Flyer]

|
| |
| The second one seen is a class similar to a Klingon [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingon_Bird-of-Prey Bird of Prey], but radically redesigned. In simple terms, it's what would a Bird of Prey looks like if the Federation built it. Symbols inside it still holds its Klingon inspirations, it has a functional cloak and Klingon weapon systems, or so we seem. We do not know how many ships House Fanel possess, since cloaking technology is heavily watched by the other powers. A class this one would be called is a frigate. At a blurry glance and hull configuration, this type, one named the Kahless is distinctly Klingon inspired, giving the bird wings, but unlike most Klingon Bird of Preys, the wings of this ship is more bend back a bit, the nacelles are located closer to the main section of the ship. There appears to be at least 2 sets of impulse engines, two each at the ends of the wings and two sets closer in the middle of the central module. This would appear to be a well balanced ship. It size despite being similar in design to the Klingon Bird of Prey it is at least 2 times larger and has much more weapons systems. This was a warship like all the other classes of ships.

| The 3rd type has yet to be seen and only mentioned in recent posts. An Atlantis class, one named the Executor. This class of ship is stated to be one of the largest and at least twince the size of a Federation [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Sovereign_class Sovereign Class]starship. We can assume so far, this is the most powerful ship House Fanel can throw.

| It is rumored that the Fanelian starforce also employs squadrons of fighters and its military might employ several other realms of uncommon technology that none of the other major powers use. The idea that mech technology might also be used. | | It's location is in a system outside of Federation controlled space or any other space controlled by any of the other major powers.
