Daris system
The Daris system is a small system of planets located within Federation territory.
This system presented StarFleet scientists with a unique opportunity to study the pre-warp civilization on Daris I. With Daris II a prime site for testing experimental terraforming techniques and equipment, and yet also near enough to Daris I to provide a convenient laboratory for studying blossoming civilizations, StarFleet's colonization department decided that the opportunity could not be passed-by.
Controversy arose over the colony's closeness to the inhabited Daris I. Some argued that the inhabitants of Daris I would become aware of the colony and thus affect their culture. Supporters argued that given the current Darisean technological level (Level Three), such activities would not impact the Daris I culture. After a long debate by the Federation Science Council it was decided to go ahead with the project. Strict protocols were formed to totally evacuate Daris II when the Darisean people reach a Level Four technological Classification. Projected technology developmentss indicate that Daris I will achieve Level Four in about 300 years time. This estimate was enough to satisfy those did not support the Daris II Science Colony project.
