Daris Colony
The Daris colony is a Federation science outpost located on Daris II in the Daris system.
The original purpose of the colony was the study of the civilization indigenous to Daris I, while terraforming Daris II. The colony was served by the USS Mantis, an Intrepid class vessel, chosen because of its ability to land on the planet's surface. The Mantis and the colony both fell under the administrative command of StarBase 118 and was considered a remote outpost.
Due to serious seismic activity which led to a breach of the protective dome, the colony was evacuated and abandoned. The Mantis was reassigned within StarFleet.
Later investigation concluded that the seismic activity was caused by a species which habitated in the subterraneous caverns of the planet.
