Blackart

Blackart is an inhabited planet located in the Alpha Vergoris star system, at coordinates 6.27N 3.52E.

In the 23rd century, Blackart was home to a Tellarite mining colony. In the late 23rd century, the world had a population of 10 million individuals, mostly Tellarite, and the government was a colonial member of the Federation. It was also suspected of being one of the largest black market centers in the galaxy. Control of the planet was in dispute, due to various corporate rivalries, and there were unconfirmed reports that wealthy industrialists on Blackart maintained Orion female slaves. The Federation regional courts considered using Starfleet resources to inspect all incoming and outgoing traffic in the Alpha Vergoris system.
