Al-Jamal

Al-Jamal (Arabic for "the beauty") was a Federation colony. Its residents were predominantly Muslim and followed many traditions from the Qur'an.

The colony was founded by Muslims who left Earth in the late 22nd Century. When the Federation's borders reached the colony, they offered to help the planet by establishing a trade center. Al-Jamal did not respond for four years, as some believed it was a way of the Federation seizing their world. However, they later agreed and within twenty years, Al-Jamal became one of the most advanced human colonies. The planet maintains close relations with Earth.

Starbase 17 is in orbit of Al-Jamal. It served as a staging area for operations in the Kalandra sector.
