Lemnos lore suggests that at least two colony ships arrived at the planet that would become known as Lemnos colony, though again, there is no hard evidence to either prove or disprove this theory. Finally, the name Lemnos is purported to have been taken from the first colony ship to arrive on the planet, though there is no record of a ship named Lemnos having been constructed or loaded on Earth. | ||
Lemnos circles around a dwarf yellow star, similar to that of Earth's, though Lemnos is approximately one and a quarter astronomical units from its star. In addition, it takes Lemnos five hundred and twenty-six days to orbit its sun. The Lemnos 'day' is approximately twenty three and a half hours. | |||
The common joke on Lemnos is that their planet has two seasons: summer and hell. Summer on Lemnos, which last approximately six terran months, has been compared to an alpine summer on Earth. For the rest of the Lemnos year, the planet is wracked by powerful storms and bitter cold, and life on Lemnos (including the colonists) retreat underground. The original colonists mitigated the effects of the harsh non-summer seasons with primitive weather control, which was augmented by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers upon Lemnos' "rediscovery" by the USS Naxos. | |||
The USS Naxos discovered the Lemnos Colony quite by accident in 2364 (two years before Gervan was born). Although aid and assistance was rendered to the newly discovered colony, Lemnos raised to a (minor) degree of importance due to the Klingon-Federation War and the subsequent Dominion War. Construction of a fleet yard was begun in the Lemnos system, but with a shifting in the war, the original plans were scrapped and the yard became a minor depot and repair post. Nonetheless, Lemnos did see an influx of Starfleet and Federation Personnel and, during its 'summer' (now extended to eight months, thanks to Starfleet Corps of Engineers' weather control and terraforming technology), Lemnos is actually a pleasant planet to take shore leave on, though it is by no means a 'Risa.' | |||
