Farius Prime was a neutral planet in close proximity to the Federation and the Cardassian Union. It was the homeworld of the Farian people. (DS9 episodes: "The Maquis, Part I", "Honor Among Thieves")

[edit] History

Farius Prime was a center of interstellar trade, with numerous races doing business there. A significant part of that business was conducted by criminal organizations, including Asfar Qatala and the Orion Syndicate. As a result, much of the population of Farius Prime lived in poverty while a minority prospered.

In 2336, Lieutenant Commander Samir al-Halak visited Farius Prime, accompanied by his lover, Anisar Batra, at the request of Halak's former guardian, Dalal. (TLE novel: Well of Souls)

By the 2370s, the Orion Syndicate had achieved dominance on Farius Prime, and had established a headquarters there. In 2374, Miles O'Brien was sent by Starfleet Intelligence to infiltrate the Syndicate on Farius Prime help implicate several of their members. (DS9 episodes: "Honor Among Thieves", "Prodigal Daughter")

In 2376, the Petraw, masquerading as Iconians, visited Farius Prime to conduct negotiations with the Syndicate for the gateways technology. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)

In 2387 (stardate 64163.8), Orion Syndicate "top boss" Raimus was assassinated by Hassan the Undying on this world, apparently on the orders of Melani D'ian. (ST website: The Path to 2409)

[edit] Geography

Farius Prime had two moons.
