This lead to the most unprecedented overpopulation in history, with life-spans of over 300 years and a social taboo against birth control. By 2268, 500 | [[ma:Gideon (planet)|Gideon]] had, centuries ago, managed to cure virtually all of the diseases on their planet and extend their lives. This lead to the most unprecedented overpopulation in history, with life-spans of over 300 years and a social taboo against birth control. By 2268, 500 billion [[ma:Humanoid|humanoids]] were living on a single [[ma:Class M|Class M]] world. This ended when the planet's ruling counsel obtained a sample of [[ma:Vegan choriomeningitis|Vegan Choriomeningitis]] in that year from the blood of [[ma:Captain|Captain]] [[ma:James T. Kirk|Kirk]], which they had no immunity to. The poeple of [[ma:Gideon|Gideon]] willingly became infected to ease the population burden. Within 10 years of initial infection only 9 billion inhabitants remained. The population stabilized at this level. The survivors of the plague joined the [[ma:UFP|Federation]] in 2289. | ||
