Death Valley (Badlands)


 * You may be looking for the region on the planet Earth.

Death Valley was a region of space that was located in the Badlands.

This location was a fabled area of derelict ships located deep within the plasma storm cloud of the Badlands. Its origins were unknown though it was believed to had been the sight of a massive battle. The area was later used as a base by the Maquis. Death Valley was considered too dangerous to visit by the time of the 24th century. Scavengers were noted to still visit the place where they looked for spare parts and salvage which meant it was a location where people traded with one another. There were lights in the area which were in reality crystalline clouds which glimmered like spun sugar which floated amongst the somnabulant ships. When plasma discharges exploded in the region, the crystal clouds glistened with every color in the spectrum.

In 2373, the secret Starfleet infiltration team hiding onboard the Orb of Peace were led to Death Valley by coordinates from the Romulan Hasmek.
