Editing (section) Cheron 0 CLICK HERE TO LOG IN OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT == Appendices == === Background information === "CHE-ron" was the pronunciation for the name of this planet, according to the script pronunciation guide for {{e|Blood Oath}}. {{st-minutiae|resources/scripts/439.txt}} Other than the guide, however, Cheron was not mentioned elsewhere in the script. According to ''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]'' (p. 66) and ''[[Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library]]'' ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 32-33, 39; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), there was a [[star system]] named Cheron ({{w|Omicron Gruis}}), in which this planet might possibly have been located, in the [[Beta Quadrant]]. This was either a single [[star]] system with a [[Star Trek: Star Charts#Spectral classification|F-class star]] (''Star Trek: Star Charts'') or a [[binary star system|binary]] system with a pair of F-class stars (''Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library''). In [[2160]], the [[Battle of Cheron]], the final battle of the [[Earth-Romulan War]], was fought in this system. According to a map of the [[Romulan Empire]] – prepared by the Stellar Archivist Lsel Essik, from the Romulan Master Data Catalog, in [[2366]] – Cheron was identified as a Romulan system. In [[2160]], the [[Battle of Cheron]], the first battle of the [[Earth-Romulan War]], was fought in this system. (In what possibly might be a mistake, ''Star Trek: Star Charts'' (p. 60) identified the {{w|83 Leonis}} system as Cheron.) According to the [[reference book]] ''[[Star Trek: Federation - The First 150 Years]]'', Cheron was the planet where the Battle of Cheron of the [[Earth-Romulan War]] took place. The {{STE|4|1|137}} classified Cheron as a [[class M]] planet. === Apocrypha === According to the novels ''[[The Buried Age]]'', ''{{dis|Kobayashi Maru|novel}}'', and ''[[To Brave the Storm]]'', the planet Cheron was the fifth planet in the 83 Leonis B star system, and was the site of the Battle of Cheron in 2160. Cheron was a strategically important planet for the [[Romulan Star Empire]] and was occupied with a military [[outpost]] at the time. Cheron was also where a Romulan fleet of 81 ships massed in preparations for an all out attack on [[Earth]]. The fleet was defeated and forced to retreat by allied starships. After the war, Cheron remained on the Federation side of the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]]. In the novel ''{{dis|No Time Like the Past|novel}}'', the ''Enterprise'' briefly returns to Cheron, with scans revealing that Bele and Lokai have now set up bases for themselves on different sides of the planet; a time-displaced [[Seven of Nine]] notes that, even in her era, the Federation avoids Cheron due to the unpredictable power and life-span of the surviving natives. The novel also reveals an attempt by Bele's side to create a virus that would infect only their enemies resulted in the virus being released before it was ready during an enemy assault, with the result that both sides were destroyed (although Kirk and Seven, temporarily trapped in the past, were unaffected by the virus). === External links === * {{mbeta|83 Leonis B V}} * {{Wikipedia|83 Leonis}} [[de:Cheron]] [[es:Cheron]] [[fr:Cheron]] [[it:Cheron]] [[nl:Cheron]] Loading editor Planets Homeworlds Insert: – … ° à é ö ¼ ½ ¾ ← → ↑ ↓ • † ‡ Sign your name: – ~~~~ Wiki markup: [[Category:]] {{w|}} {{wikipedia|}} {{real world}} {{image paramount}} {{IMDb-link|type=name|page=|name=}} {{TOS|}} {{TAS|}} {{TNG|}} {{DS9|}} {{VOY|}} {{ENT|}} {{DIS|}} {{film|}} {{incite}} #redirect [[]] {{USS|}} {{USSr|}} <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <gallery> File: File: File: </gallery> {{dis||}} {{DEFAULTSORT:}} This field is a spam trap.
