The Federation learned about the existence of Malon Prime when the Intrepid-class starship USS Voyager made first contact with a Malon export vessel 2375. According to Controller Fesek, the export industry's purpose was to dump the theta radiation waste the Cooperative produced far away from Malon Prime, one of the most beautiful planets of the quadrant.

Later that year, the supertanker Apsac was designed and built on Malon Prime by Controller Marssi. She hoped that following its third waste export run she and her mate Stvoran could afford a house in the mountains of Malon Prime, a new home for the pair and their daughter, Ella.
