Information

Originally always in the shadow of Ketar V, with the Mother Road leading right to its doorstep, Meridian soon became the Coalition's new center for commerce. Passenger and freight transports regularly travel between Meridian to Esperance and beyond. Despite Antor II's status as the capital of the Coalition, the Federation and other business is often conducted on Meridian because of the ease of access and amenities. Due to its sudden wealth over the last century, a rift has grown between Meridian and the other Coalition colonies both in terms of social status and even culture.

The USS Veritas spent a significant time within Meridian space between 2391 and 2392, combating piracy in the area.

When Rajel Tutoatasi gives a public address about his challenge for the position of Governor of Antor II in hopes to reaffirm the planet's position as capital of the Colonial Coalition, claiming that the political situation of the Shoals is not of benefit to the colony worlds. Representatives of both Meridian and Karakka were claimed to share Tutoastasi's view.
