Oracle of the People

The Oracle of the People was the name for the central computer of the Yonada worldship built by the Fabrini. It was revered by the Fabrini as a god. The Oracle enforced its will through the use of the "instrument of obedience" which could control the thoughts and actions of the inhabitants. During the course of Yonada 's voyage, the computer had malfunctioned and diverted the worldship's course from Daran IV to Daran V.

In 2268, Captain James T. Kirk, Commander Spock and Dr. Leonard McCoy successfully disabled the Oracle and corrected the worldship's course to Daran IV. (TOS episode: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky").

Following the establishment of the Lorina colony in 2270, many citizens wanted to restore the Oracle's control over their lives as the early days of establishing the colony had been hard. In 2273, a group of extremists succeeding in boarding Yonada and attempted to reactive the Oracle. Fortunately, they were stopped by Admiral Kirk and a team from the Enterprise. (TOS novel: Ex Machina).
