Gideon had, centuries ago, managed to cure virtually all of the diseases on their planet and extend their lives. This lead to the most unprecedented overpopulation in history, with life-spans of over 300 years and a social taboo against birth control. By 2268, 500 billion humanoids were living on a single Class M world. This ended when the planet's ruling counsel obtained a sample of Vegan Choriomeningitis in that year from the blood of Captain Kirk, which they had no immunity to. The people of Gideon willingly became infected to ease the population burden. Within 10 years of initial infection only 9 billion inhabitants remained. The population stabilized at this level. The survivors of the plague joined the Federation in 2289.
