Priors World was an inhabited planet in the Beta Quadrant.
History[]
In the mirror universe, after his failed coup against Emperor Philippa Georgiou in the 2250s, Gabriel Lorca traveled to Priors World to recruit allies. During his meeting, the ISS Charon attacked his ship, the ISS Buran. As Lorca was beaming back to the Buran, it was hit by an ion storm and the Charon's torpedoes, which caused a transporter accident that shifted Lorca into the prime universe.

Apocrypha[]
Priors World features in the 2019 Star Trek Online storyline "Rise of Discovery", expanding upon events in 2256 transpiring between DIS: "Battle at the Binary Stars" and DIS: "Context Is for Kings". Priors World falls to the Klingons early in the war, prompting a Starfleet response dubbed "Operation Riposte". Gabriel Lorca, commanding the USS Buran, leads Federation forces to retake the planet. However, the Klingons then mount a counteroffensive under the cover of the ion storm, during which the mirror universe Lorca arrives to assume his prime counterpart's place.
