Destor Muht

Very little is known about this world, save that it was the location of a secret Cardassian research lab. Ry Arlnan was taken here following the attack on his resistance base with biological weapons. Arlnan was the only survivor. The Cardassian Central Command hoped to implant a concentrated nodule of the biotoxin inside of him and then arrange for his 'rescue' to allow the bio-weapon maximum effect. Gul Otek brought a team here for the arranged rescue, then incapacitated Ry Emeras, and notified Magas Brel to come get her, all the while making his own escape. Otek left plenty of time to find Ry, but the plan was compromised by The mad Romulan Commander Mnet. He detonated his own device, setting off the others Otek had placed, prematurely. Both Ry and Magas were caught up, at least partially in the blast, with Ry suffering percussive injuries, and Magas second and third degree burns over a majority of her body. The Two were then beamed off. The facility itself was completely obliterated.

Docent Sigma

An ecologically fragile star system in Cardassian space. The system is so delicate, Warp drive and even impulse can be harmful. Living inside of the rings in one planet are the Moth astra. In one of his twisted experiments, the mad Romulan Commander Minnet came to this delicate system with the sole purpose of killing these creatures. To add to the barbarity, it was his intention to 'test' the amnesiac Ry Emeras by soliciting her help to kill them. Docent Sigma was also the final destination of the colony ship Rosilyn Mine. How it arrived there was unknown. Thanks to the intervention of Ry Emeras, Minnet's plan was thwarted, and the Moth Astra were saved. The Rosilyn Mine disintegrated when science pod separated, without harm. Ry, and Magus were rescued by the Defiant.

Kitaria

A class M world. The humanoid inhabitants were unable to live on the surface due to the toxic nature of the surface plants, so they evolved living in the trees. Growing wings, building nests. A Kitarian male attracts a mate by building a nest. Bit by bit, over time, he lines it with feathers from every year of his life. When his nest is ready, he chooses a mate and brings her to the nest. He than gives her the last feathers to finish the nest. If she accepts him, she adds the last of the feathers to the nest. If she rejects him, the feathers are scattered to the winds and the nest will remain unoccupied. Known native: LT Oren Ganix

Boasting over one million inhabitants, it was powered by a quantum singularity. Each cell exists in its own quantum bubble. The result was that the inmates were subjected to 'relative time' which operated separately from realtime. A person incarcerated for mere days might experience years in relative time. The prison was liberated by Ry Emeras, Laine Rael, and Rentor Kendrick in what was possibly the largest single prison breakout in Galactic History.Their main objective was the rescue of Jeffrey Bridges Ry freed everyone by incorporating all the quantum bubbles into a single one. The prison was ultimately absorbed into the singularity and was destroyed.
