System Name: Mu Leonis A
System Type: Binary System (Mu Leonis A and B)
Moons: Unknown
Planet of Origin: Ardana III
Associated Bodies: (2) Planets (Ardana I and II)
Government: Plutocracy of Ardana
Capital: Stratos City
Colonization Level: Very Low to None
Culture: The Ardanans are not planet’s natives, Ardana was colonized by building Stratos City in distant history though Troglyites are native race. Troglytes were considered by the Ardanan Stratos City Dwellers to be an intellectually and emotionally inferior race. In fact, a gas generated by the zenite mined on Ardana had a deleterious effect on the thought processes of the surface dwellers (as well as other humanoid species). Over the centuries following the building of this cloud city, Stratos, sharp divisions in their society developed between the Stratos City Dwellers and the laboring class, called Troglytes, who performed menial tasks, including working in the planet's zenite mines. Ardanan culture put a high importance on intellectual pursuits and the arts.
Tech: Warp Capable, Sophisticated or Developed
Resources: Zenite (only source of Zenite in UFP)
Goods: Transmat Network - type of matter/energy conversion technology used by the Ardanan culture on planet Ardana. It was similar to, but distinct from, transporter technology of the type used by the United Federation of Planets and its neighboring cultures. It was used primarily for transport between the Cloud City of Stratos and the planet surface.
History: Ardana's policies of caste system oppression, executing political dissidents, and public torture would be in direct contradiction to Federation guidelines established by the 2370s for practices accepted by its member worlds. After UFP’s offered help to Troglytes, the board ruled UFP’s actions were justified in protecting a subjugated people, Ardana withdrew its membership in the Federation.
The City Dwellers responded by declaring war on the Troglytes, a conflict called the Great Disruption. Troglyte society was nearly destroyed, before they gained new leader, a descendant of Soske Busk, the builder of Stratos. He was able to seize control of the Stratos Dwellers' transmat network, leading to a mass invasion of the city. The government fell, and Stratos itself was abandoned.
Personnel: Soske Busk, Ardanan Scientist
Random Event (Possible): “Great Disruption”- civil war between Ardanans and Troglytes. Numerous of possible results. Note: Needs work
