Galorndon Core
Talk0this wiki
Galorndon Core is a planet located in Federation space, a half light year from the Romulan Neutral Zone. Ranging from class M to class L conditions, its atmosphere is ionized, rendering most advanced technology, including transporters erratic or inoperable. Humanoids exposed over long periods of time to this planetary energy field are prone to (treatable) neurological damage. Over the years, many conflicts between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire have taken place at Galorndon Core (TNG episodes: "The Enemy", "The Defector", "Unification, Part II"; VOY episode: "The Thaw"; TNG video game: Star Trek Generations)
Galorndon Core was originally class M, with a high level of biodiversity, which in 2157 was being studied by two human scientists, Doctors Emily Jensen and Hans Ruden. During the Earth-Romulan War, on Monday 22 August 2157, Enterprise fought the IRW Raon above the planet. The Raon was damaged, and made a warp-speed kamikaze run at the planet, igniting the planet's significant reserves of dilithium in a repeat of the Coridan III attack and rendering the planet uninhabitable. MACOs managed to evacuate the two scientists, although Sergeant Selma Guitierrez was wounded in a firefight with several Romulan soldiers. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)
While escaping from Rod Portlyn aboard the Shuttlecraft Shirley, Captain David Gold inadvertently ended up at Galorndon Core, drawing unwanted attention from Romulan Commander Tokk of the IRW Lomiya. (CoE eBook: The Art of the Comeback)
Galorndon Core was the locale for Lieutenant Commander Domenica Corsi's battle drill number twenty aboard the USS da Vinci. (SCE eBook: Security)
