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 original purpose of the colony was the study of the civilization indigenous to Daris I, while terraforming Daris II.
