Coridan (planet)

Coridan was a class M planet located in the Alpha Quadrant and home to the Coridans. The planet was the location of significant dilithium deposits.

During the Dominion War, the planet was attacked by the Dominion. The attack's objective was not to occupy the planet but rather to disrupt the dilithium mining. Despite the protection of the Sixth and Sixteenth Fleets the Dominion forces entered orbit and bombarded the surface, destroying mining equipment and collapsing several mines causing thousands of deaths.
