Miri's homeworld

Juram V was a planet in the Alpha Quadrant, home to a humanoid civilization. In the 1950s, the world's scientists attempted to prolong the race's life; however, their experiments killed the entire adult population. The growth and development of Juram V's children (who, in the aftermath of this tragedy, began to call themselves "Onlies") was slowed to the rate of one month per century, but the older survivors would age rapidly and die upon reaching puberty.

Juram V was visited in 2266 by the USS Enterprise, where the landing party members were struck by the same affliction. Dr. Leonard McCoy was successful in finding a way to counteract the rapid aging. (TOS episode: "Miri")


 * The name Juram V comes from the novel The Cry of the Onlies.

In 2293, McCoy discovered a similar ailment on Mestiko as he had on the Onlies' planet. (TOS eBook: Mere Anarchy: Its Hour Come Round)
