Corola III

Corola is a planet located just within Federation space, and is the third planet of the Corola System.

Initially the planet was the site of small Orion colony, but during the Four Years War, the inhabitants fled due to an approaching Klingon Task Force. Since the war, Starfleet has laid claim to the planet and now uses it as a subsidiary base for nearby Star Base 27. Rumors persist among the Orions that the base is one of the most secret Federation maximum-security prisons in existence. It is said that the base houses the hardest and harshest of the Orion pirates to ever be taken alive. Furthermore, the rumors also suggest that various psychological reconditioning experiments are being conduct on its inmate population.

All Starfleet vessels require permission from Star Base 27 in order to approach the planet, and no civilian ships may enter the system at all. Any civilians who find themselves stranded in the vicinity of the Corola System are quickly picked up and housed in small surface installation before being ferried out on another ship.
