Changes: Ba'ku (planet)

Revision as of 18:32, 8 October 2004

The planet Ba'ku is an M-class planet located in Sector 441, within the Briar Patch. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

Ba'ku is a ringed planet, the rings themselves being saturated with metaphasic radiation. The planet is home to a Ba'ku settlement, established in 2066 by a group of approximately 600 of the Ba'ku, fleeing their homeworld for fear of their race's self-destruction. The planet's radiation allowed the inhabitants to live extended lifespans, In the late 23rd century, a group of the Ba'ku, disillusioned with the settlement's ways, left the planet, and became the Son'a.

In 2375, an attempt by the Son'a - led by Ahdar Ru'afo, and assisted by Starfleet officers under Matthew Dougherty - to strip the planet of its metaphasic particles, was stopped by the actions of Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E.

-The S'ona were banished from the planet for attempting to use forbidden technologies, and expressing a desire to live the 'faster' life of outsiders.

-The S'ona persisted on other worlds, enslaving a couple of species and using them for their own ends. They kept themselves alive using various techniques, most of them quite like human plastic surgery of the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]]. The S'ona wanted to harvest the [[chemical]]s from the rings of the planet and use them for their own purposes - they also, of course, wanted to have their revenge against the Ba'ku who had banished them in the past.
-Anyway, it turned out that a corrupt [[Federation]] [[admiral]] and various other people of importance were involved in a nefarious plot to assist the S'ona, and selfishly reap the benefits from the destruction of the Ba'ku people's peaceful way of life.
-Luckily, the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|''Enterprise''-E]] turned up and saved the day. Ba'ku is still the same, lovely planet it always was, even though it exists in the middle of the awful [[Briar Patch]]. ''([[Star Trek: Insurrection]])''
