Koltaari (planet)

Koltaari was a Class M planet in the Beta Quadrant, near the Federation-Romulan border in the early 2300s. It was home to the Koltaari species, as well as many valuable natural resources.

The planet was occupied by the Romulan Star Empire for several months in 2311. The Romulans used the native population as slave labor to mine the dilithium, pergium, cormaline and bilitrium deposits on the planet. The occupation ended after the Tomed Incident, and Koltaari then became a Federation protectorate world while the UFP helped the Koltaari recover from their tragic first contact with the galactic community. 

By 2380, Koltaari had become a Federation member. (: "Still Comes the Dawn")
