Coridan III is considered one of the more dilithium-rich planets in the Alpha Quadrant.
History
In 2151, the Coridanites were embroiled in an internal conflict between the government, backed by the Vulcan High Command, and rebel forces, secretly supported by the Andorian Empire. The Vulcan agenda was to keep the planet's chancellorship stable while the Tau Ceti Accords prohibited any Andorian presence on the planet, which in turn assured Coridan's dilithium exports to Vulcan.
In 2155, Coridan took part in talks on Earth to form a Coalition of Planets. Here, the Coridanites rejected the Tellarite proposal of a trade embargo against the Orion Syndicate. The Coridan representative emphasized his people's long-standing trade relations with the Orions and claimed that the accusation of Orions attacking Tellarite freighters was slander.
The Babel Conference in 2268 was to consider whether to allow Coridanites admission into the United Federation of Planets. Coridan was considered underpopulated at that time, making the planet susceptible to illegal mining operations by the Orions. Federation membership would provide the planet with protection under interstellar law. Mining operations were maintained there by the Orions and Tellarites, among others, a concern that led some to think they should be denied Federation membership. Despite the Orion Syndicate making an initial attempt to sabotage the Babel Conference, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan spoke in favor of admittance and was given credit for passage of the measure. Coridan joined the Federation that same year.
In 2374, during the Dominion War, Coridan's dilithium mines were attacked by the Jem'Hadar, as they made the planet a strategically important target.

In the 22nd century, the People's Republic of Coridan was one of the leading space powers of known space, possessing the largest known dilithium deposits in the area that later became the Federation core worlds. The Coridanites were rumoured to even be capable of reaching speeds as high as Warp 7, though they tightly controlled their exports of such technology[5]
