==History== | |||
===Of the planet=== | |||
In 2043 the Klingons fought a battle with the Romulans near the system holding the planet that would become Shinraka. Shortly after this in 2044 the Klingons did a survey of the planet to determine if it would make a good military base. The survey was done, filed and forgotten. | |||
In 2302 the Federation discovered Shinraka. This was done by a renowned Vulcan astrophysicist, named Arbesta. It was his theory that Shinraka had been part of a larger planet within the regions of Romulan space. | |||
By 2317 Arbesta was able to convince the Federation council and the Vulcan Science Academy to mount an expedition to study this world. After extensive testing, it was determined that it’s mineral and metal deposit ratios closely paralleled those of Remus. Arbesta speculated that eons ago, a supernova caused part of a much larger Remus to break away, and was blown out into space. | |||
In 2324 Vulcan archaeologist Scak led an expedition to the planet, with the hope of finding evidence of ancient Remans. The exposition met with success, finding the remnants of ruins indicating that Shinraka had indeed once been home to an ancient Romulan outpost in the 16th Century, and by mid 17th Century had a significant Romulan presence. What happened to those early inhabitants is unknown. | |||
It was one of 10 planets selected by the Federation as possible locations to establish a colony for the Dabh'aelisu. Known formally the "Dark", the Dabh'aelisu were a new species that had evolved from the Romulan with telepathic abilities. They had been forced to flee from Romulan controled space and had requested sanctuary within the Federation. | |||
In 2383 a civilian research vessel returned to Shinraka with copies of the original Klingon planetary survey as well as the reports from the 2 earlier expeditions. They very quickly determined that the planet was suitable to colonization and left. | |||
In 2384 after much consideration and debate the Federation agreed to allow the Dabh'aelisu to start a colony on Shinraka. | |||
