Changes: Bynaus

Revision as of 23:10, 29 August 2012

Bynaus was a planet in the Beta Magellan system, located near the Tarsas system. This Class M planet was inhabited by the Bynars, a race that relied heavily on computer technology.

In 2364, the planetary computer on Bynaus was shut down to protect it from the electromagnetic pulse generated by a star in the Beta Magellan system when it went supernova. With their binary way of thinking, the Bynars feared that the United Federation of Planets would have refused to help and so took action on their own. A team of Bynars commandeered the USS Enterprise-D from Starbase 74, where it was undergoing routine system upgrades. The Enterprise computer was the only mobile computer in range with sufficient memory to back up the data stored in the Bynaus computer. The starship arrived at Bynaus just in time to restart the computer before the Bynars perished. (TNG: "11001001")

The planet backdrop for Bynaus is the same which was used for the planet Haven including identical land features.
It was not stated in the episode that the central star was the one that went supernova, only that a "star in the system" went supernova.
It was implied that the Federation government decided to waive prosecution for this incident as long as the Bynars understood that it was highly probable that the organization would have immediately lent whatever assistance necessary in such situations.
