Eventually the plants physically uprooted themselves and moved towards the pair, proving that these plants either had some sort of previously unobserved intelligence or were being controlled by another entity. Reporting their findings back to the Elysium, the rest of the away mission was recalled to help observe these strange plants. Lieutenant Dell and Ensign Allanzar would not live to see the arrival of the team however, and just as their transmission ended, they were both mauled to death by a local feline predator, the Hesseragh. | Eventually the plants physically uprooted themselves and moved towards the pair, proving that these plants either had some sort of previously unobserved intelligence or were being controlled by another entity.

Upon discovering their bodies, the away team also discovered the body of the Hesseragh strangled to death by vines. Eventually the plants surrounding The Lady created a barrier between the rest of the away team and the bodies of their crewmen. Later these plants dragged the bodies closer to The Lady and were apparently absorbed into the bark of the tree. | Upon discovering their bodies, the away team also discovered the body of the Hesseragh strangled to death by vines. Eventually the plants surrounding The Lady created a barrier between the rest of the away team and the bodies of their crewmen. Later these plants dragged the bodies closer to The Lady and were apparently absorbed into the bark of the tree. The Elysium would stay on Ceata for a further three months, both to observe what would be done with the bodies of their dead crewman, and to study the unique and highly complex plant life on the planet. | ||
After three months, two human looking individuals emerged from the roots of The Lady, bearing remarkable likeness to (But not quite an exact replication of) Lieutenant Dell and Ensign Allanzar. These two individuals were the first Dokkarans, sentient plants in humanoid form. Eventually their numbers grew, and by the time the Elysium left Ceata in May of 2166, nine months after their initial landing, there were over 300 Dokkarans. | |||
Since then the Dokkarans have formed an advanced society on par with their interstellar neighbors (Though with help from the Federation), and while they are virtually isolationists as a group, most individual Dokkarans have left Ceata at some point to seek knowledge of the greater galaxy. No more than half a dozen Dokkarans had joined Starfleet by the time of the Dominion War, though since then there have been four Dokkaran students at Starfleet Academy and the first Dokkaran to reach the rank of Commander. | |||
