Hekaran
History:
Live on Hekaras II a Class-M planet; a Federation member. Located in the Hekaras Corridor, Hekaras II was
the only inhabited planet in the region. In the late 2360s, two Hekaran scientists discovered that the rgion of space near their planet was
very susceptible to warp field effect. They tried to persuade the Federation Council and their own people to avoid the use of warp travel
in the area, even thought it would mean the almost total isolation of their planet. It was not untill 2370, following the formation of a
subspace rift in the corridor, that the scientists' theories were believed. Unfortunately, due to the gravitational shifts following the
formation of the rift, the climate of Hekaras II began to change. As a short-term measure, Starfleet was able to assist the Hekarans with a
weather control matrix.
