Xawen

Xawen is an inhabited planet and the homeworld of the Xawe species. The planet is well known for producing computer equipment that the Xawe view as an artform.

In the early 2370s, negotiations had begun for Xawen to join the United Federation of Planets. In 2370, the Xawe ship Gift of Flight was destroyed by the Helios, who stole the starship's precious cargo before doing so. The Gift of Flight had been carrying taxes, tithes, letters of credit and three thousand bars of gold-pressed latinum to Xawen from Anabesi, the planet's richest colony.
