The Pelian Brief


  • Stardate 239808.28 to Present

The USS Gorkon is helping the colonists of Darime IV. It’s a well-established Pelian colony on a garden world, which took in a sizable number of Romulan refugees after the Hobus Disaster. In the following 11 years, the two groups have peacefully coexisted on the planet; while they generally maintain separate settlements, the Pelians helped the Romulans establish themselves in their new home, and the Romulans have offered their skilled workers and knowledge in return.

It’s been a harmonious and cooperative relationship for the most part. However, recent disputes arose when the Romulans planned to build a new settlement near the Pelian holy site of N’amiu’s Garden, a verdant and unspoiled valley amidst fertile lands. Diplomatic efforts brought the dispute to a resolution both parties are (relatively) content with, but it stoked old grudges and prejudices among some of the population, which the recent medical crisis has only exacerbated.


Locations


Darime IV

Darime IV is a garden world in a star system near the former Neutral Zone, originally founded by the Pelians around 150 years ago. Much like on their homeworld, about half of every Pelian settlement is underground, leaving huge portions of the surface untouched and wild. Recent expansion and scientific efforts have revealed a number of ancient ruins above and below the surface of the planet, raising questions about its past.

After the Hobus supernova of 2387, the colony offered a home to Romulan refugees and the two groups have peacefully cooexisted for the most part, except for a recent dispute over the location of a new Romulan settlement near N’amiu’s Garden.

  • New Sabyk: The capital settlement of the colony, primarily inhabited by Pelians. Buildings are short and squat, and at least half of the inhabited space is underground.
  • Survey Site: A proposed site for a new settlement, where initial surveys revealed extensive underground ruins;
  • Excavation Site: A forested site with unearthed ruins, and the source of a recent outbreak of illness among the Pelians;
  • Field Hospital: A joint effort between Starfleet and the Romulan colonists to render aid to the sick Pelians;
  • N’amiu’s Garden: A wild, fertile and untouched valley which the Pelians consider holy ground.


Notable Characters


Inhabitants of Darime IV:

  • Lynas: Quiet and unassuming as is common for his species, Agent Lynas has spent most of his adult life in the colony. His childhood days on the Pelios homeworld were filled with thoughts of spending his life helping people. He intended to pursue a career as a doctor when he came of age, but found he couldn't quite overcome his squeamish stomach. Instead, he followed a path that led him to Federation Security, where he could help his own people and other Federation citizens follow the laws in peace and security. Lynas enjoys a rousing game of Terran chess whenever he can find someone willing to play. He admires the men and women of Starfleet even if he finds it difficult to understand the adventurous spirit that drives many of them.
