Karakka is a Federation colony and a member of the Colonial Coalition. It is located exactly on the edge of Klingon territory. HistoryThe most remote colony of the Coalition, Karakka would be a completely worthless ice world were it not for the fact that it is home to some of the richest dilithium mines known in the quadrant. This makes the freighters that take the raw dilithium from Karakka to Havley's Hope for refinement tempting targets for the bandits and pirates that hide in the Shadows. The recent discovery of benamite on the planet (the crystals vital for the quantum slipstream drive, which like high warp ironically has no use in the Shoals itself) has only made the prize even greater for those who can successfully capture a shipment traveling along the route now known as Widowmaker Trail. Planetary informationSocietyKarakka houses Humans, Klingons, and Romulan refugees alike in a similar fashion to Nimbus III - though this is where the comparison ends. Settlements have a predominant race of people, somewhat suffering from certain favoritism to factions.[1] Because of it's location in relation to the Klingon border of the Shoals, there is a heavy IKS presence around Karakka than there is any other Colonial Coalition colony.[2] Defense capabilitiesKarakka has a matrix of defense satellites located in it's orbit, capable of targeting vessels and opening fire on command. They appear to be inert, and were once a well-kept secret between the militia Captain Alan Hackett and Governor Lawroc.[3] They've so far failed to inform other colonies or the Federation of its existence, though record of it was made following an incident with the SS Belfast in 2396.[4] An air fleet is also active on Karakka, presumably equipped with tractor beams.[5] Ground forces have ground-based missile launchers at their disposal. Due to their close proximity to Klingon space, the KDF also provides the colony with relevant assistance when required.[6] |
