History

In the 22nd century, the space-faring Teplans resisted coercion by the Dominion. In return, the Jem'Hadar released the Teplan blight, a fatal disease, on Teplan I. Forced to focus on survival, the Teplan culture crumbled.

In 2372, the Federation scientists Doctor Julian Bashir and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax answered a distress call from Teplan I, and developed a vaccine for the blight. (DS9 episode: "The Quickening")
