Naia VII

Naia VII was the seventh planet in orbit of the Naia star system, located somewhere in the space of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants. Naia VII was the homeworld of the Dai-ai.

History and specifics

Geography

The planet was a predominantly oceanic world, with only mountain peaks standing above sea-level. However, it was also rich in valuable trace elements and minerals, such as dilithium, bilitrium, kelbonite and others.

History

The native Dai-ai made an agreement with the Federation to allow the Starfleet Corps of Engineers (SCE) to conduct mining operations on Naia VII, which were underway by 2368 under the command of Captain Ochoa. These operations were partially classified, but Starfleet gained raw materials vital to its defense while, in exchange, the Dai-ai were amply compensated with food and supplies.

However, the Dai-ai had firm environmental regulations that disallowed particle beam– and transporter-based mining technologies—essentially, not wishing anyone to fire on the planet. This necessitated traditional and dangerous excavation methods, tunnelling directly into the sunken mountains. The mining operations were an engineering achievement, but also quite difficult and dangerous, as the SCE miners had specific quotas to meet despite the dangers, which led to reduced safety standards. To guard against leaks and high pressure, they used force fields, sealants, interlocking pressure compartments, and anti-gravity technology.

Due to the dangers, Ochoa requested that another Starfleet vessel visit the world to provide technical assistance. The USS Enterprise-D was sent, and shortly before stardate 45635, Ochoa and Lieutenant Amato met with Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data and Lieutenant Worf of the Enterprise. Ochoa introduced them to Seelos, a Dai-ai native to Naia VII, then showed the visitors around the mine works. When a burst pressure compartment flooded a mine, Worf rescued Ochoa and Amato, but eight people were killed and twenty-two more were injured.

Following the disaster, the Enterprise was able to request extra support for the Naia VII mining operation. The USS Lexington was sent with additional personnel and equipment. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 2")

Needing gold to combat the Cyberman fleet, the Enterprise crew and the Doctor beamed down to Naia VII, the Doctor managing to convince Seelos of the moral need for the otherwise embargoed resource and how providing it to the Federation could be of use to the Dai-ai in future negotiations. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 6")

When equipment and excavated metals began vanishing from the facility, the Enterprise returned to the planet, setting them on the path to discovering that their counterparts from the mirror universe were plundering their reality. (TNG - Through the Mirror comic: "Issue 1")
