Changes: Quarra

Latest revision as of 04:26, 29 May 2023

Quarra was a heavily industrialized M-class planet located in the Delta Quadrant. It was home to the warp-capable Quarren, as well as a large immigrant population of species from other worlds. The planet was protected by patrol ships and a shield grid that prevented transporter use.

The capital city of Quarra straddled a river and was serviced by a public transport system. The Central Hospital and the Central Power Facility were located in the city.

In 2377, Quarra and the rest of its star system were suffering from a severe labor shortage, causing intense competition for workers. Unlike the other planets in the system, guest workers on Quarra were granted full legal protections. During this time, residents were subject to a curfew.

The demand for skilled workers led to the formation of a criminal conspiracy, in which Quarren coyote ships would attack alien starships and abduct their crews. Doctor Kadan at the Central Hospital would then alter the abductees' memories to make them believe they willingly came to Quarra in search of a job that had been prearranged for them.

Several thousand people were illegally added to Quarra's workforce in this fashion, including most of the crew of USS Voyager. Commander Chakotay, Ensign Harry Kim, and the Doctor were able to expose the conspiracy with help from Yerid of Criminal Investigations. The Quarren authorities promised that all of Kadan's victims would be treated and repatriated. (VOY: "Workforce", "Workforce, Part II")

In 3189, the location of Quarra was denoted on a holographic star chart of the galaxy at Federation Headquarters. (DIS: "Die Trying")

-'''Quarra''' was an [[M-class]] [[planet]] located in the [[Delta Quadrant]] that was the [[homeworld]] of the [[Quarren (species)|Quarren]] [[species]] as well as home to many other intelligent [[humanoid]] species.
+'''Quarra''' was a heavily industrialized [[M-class]] [[planet]] located in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. It was [[homeworld|home]] to the [[warp-capable]] {{dis|Quarren|species}}, as well as a large immigrant population of [[species]] from other worlds. The planet was protected by [[Quarren patrol ship|patrol ships]] and a [[shield grid]] that prevented [[transporter]] use.
+The [[capital city]] of Quarra straddled a [[river]] and was serviced by a [[Quarren transport|public transport system]]. The [[Central Hospital]] and the [[Central Power Facility]] were located in the city.
-Quarra was an industrious and [[technology|technologically]]-advanced planet, with systems that require high levels of supervision and involve little automation, making it unique for a planet with a [[warp]]-capable society. This in turn caused the planet to require large amount of manpower. In [[2377]], this demand caused Quarra to suffer from a manpower shortage.

-To cope with this, their [[military]] sent out [[radiation|radioactive]] [[mine]]s that would explode on a [[starship|ship]]'s [[hull]] and infect the [[crew]]. The crew would then have to abandon ship, and the Quarrens would take them back to their homeworld and commandeer the ship.
+In [[2377]], Quarra and the rest of its [[star system]] were suffering from a severe labor shortage, causing intense competition for workers. Unlike the other planets in the system, guest workers on Quarra were granted full legal protections. During this time, residents were subject to a [[curfew]].
+The demand for skilled workers led to the formation of a criminal conspiracy, in which [[Quarren coyote ship]]s would attack alien [[starship]]s and abduct their crews. [[Doctor]] [[Kadan]] at the [[Central Hospital]] would then alter the abductees' [[memory|memories]] to make them believe they willingly came to Quarra in search of a job that had been prearranged for them.
-This was exactly what happened to the {{USS|Voyager}} in [[2377]]. The general Quarren public was unaware of this conspiracy until [[Chakotay]] exposed it.
+Several thousand people were illegally added to Quarra's workforce in this fashion, including most of the crew of {{USS|Voyager}}. [[Commander]] [[Chakotay]], [[Ensign]] [[Harry Kim]], and [[the Doctor]] were able to expose the conspiracy with help from [[Yerid]] of [[Criminal Investigations]].
