'''Demes II''' is the inhabited second planet in the Demes star system. It is the homeworld of the Demesians, a pre-warp civilisation with a technology level similar to that pre-Industrial Revolution humans. It was close enough to Federation and Klingon space to pose a strategic risk should the rapid technological progress discovered in the 2390s continue without intervention. | |||

The predominant species on Demes II were the Demesians, a pre-warp society of approximately 350 million. This civilisation were believed to possess a C classification on the planetary development scale, but by 2399 had begun to show rapid technological progress which led to debate within the Federation Anthropology Council as to whether they should receive a D classification (pre-industrialisation). | The predominant species on Demes II were the Demesians, a pre-warp society of approximately 350 million.

Demes II was a Class M planet with an atmospheric composition similar to that of many worlds across the Federation, meaning that breathing apparatus was not required when beaming down. By the mid 2380s, the planet was experiencing a global ice age that was expected to last approximately five centuries. | Demes II was a Class M planet with an atmospheric composition similar to that of many worlds across the Federation, meaning that breathing apparatus was not required when beaming down.

While there were several continents on Demes II, research conducted by the Federation Anthropological Council centered on a peninsula in the Northern Hemisphere, which was becoming the centre of technological progress. It’s capital city was Lakonna with further important settlements being an agricultural village, Yanthi, and a new port town called Jupe. | While there were several continents on Demes II, research conducted by the Federation Anthropological Council centered on a peninsula in the Northern Hemisphere, which was becoming the centre of technological progress.

The planet was first charted by the crew of the USS Rampart in 2385, under the command of Captain Ambrious Corvus Regillensis. Unknown to Starfleet at the time, Regillensis authorised the creation of subterranean listening outpost with the intent on monitoring elements within the Romulan Star Empire. The outpost was located near Jupe, which at this time was an unimportant fishing village. This was in direct violation of the Prime Directive and various treaties with the Star Empire. The listening outpost was rendered inoperative after a series of earth tremors and Regillensis abandoned it and covered up its existence, leaving two members of the crew on the surface. | The planet was first charted by the crew of the USS Rampart in 2385, under the command of Captain Ambrious Corvus Regillensis.

After returning to the USS Excalibur, it was decided that Starfleet technology could not be allowed to remain on Demes II for fears of further cultural contamination. Almost overnight every piece of technology foreign to the planet was beamed aboard the Excalibur- although there were some concerns that the damage had already been done and there were calls for the Federation to make first contact with the Demesians, despite their pre-warp status. Admiral Ambrious Regillensis was arrested for his part in the scheme and stripped of his commission. As of June 2399, he is awaiting trial. | After returning to the USS Excalibur, it was decided that Starfleet technology could not be allowed to remain on Demes II for fears of further cultural contamination.
