Changes: Janus VI

Revision as of 18:38, 29 September 2015

AT: "xx"

Janus VI was the inhabited sixth planet of its star system. This was the homeworld for the intelligent Horta, a non-humanoid species. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")

Location

In 2293, the location of Janus VI in the Milky Way Galaxy was labeled in the star chart "The Explored Galaxy", which was on display in Captain James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, okudagram)

In 2367, the location of Janus VI was labeled on a tactical situation monitor in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. (TNG: "The Wounded", okudagram)

In 2371, the location of Janus VI was labeled on a star chart that Data and Picard were studying in stellar cartography aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek Generations, okudagram)

In 2366, in an alternate timeline, during the Federation-Klingon War, the location of Janus VI was labeled on a tactical situation monitor in the ready room aboard the USS Enterprise-D (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise", okudagram)

History

Janus VI was colonized by the United Federation of Planets over fifty years prior to 2267, with the underground Janus VI colony. The colony was a major producer of pergium for the Federation. Janus VI was geologically inactive, and had no atmosphere. Though the planet was rich in mineral resources, reaching them was difficult with standard mining technology. Minerals present included gold, pergium, platinum, sirium, and uranium.

The Federation was unaware of the Horta until that year, when a new level was opened up and the miners inadvertently began destroying Horta eggs, causing the mother Horta to retaliate by sabotaging equipment and killing fifty colonists by the time she was stopped three months later. Once it was realized that the Horta was a sapient creature, an agreement was created so the two sides could share the planet. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")

In 2269, when attempting to understand the threat they faced on the Kalandan outpost, after Captain James T. Kirk asked if the rocks could have life, Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu thought it possible that the captain was thinking back to his time on Janus VI and his experience with the Horta. Lieutenant Commander Leonard McCoy disagreed with the captain arguing that the Horta registered as a lifeform and the medical tricorder wasn't picking up life signs from the rocks. (TOS: "That Which Survives")

In 2328, this was the destination for passengers traveling from Denkir Orbital City via commercial transport. Hilary Groner and Robert Levinson traveled there on the SS Kogin. (TNG-R: "Inheritance", okudagram)

Background information

For the 2006 "remastered" version of "The Devil in the Dark", a new, computer-generated version of Janus VI was created to replace the stock footage used in so many TOS episodes. New shots of the planet's surface were also created.

According to Star Trek Maps (page 26) Janus VI was a class-H planet. One of ten planets orbiting the moderate yellow star Janus. According to The Worlds of the Federation (page 110), Janus was a class-E planet known as Shaul by the Horta. According to Star Trek: Star Charts (page 23), Janus VI was classified as a class-F planet.

Apocrypha

Janus VI was additionally mentioned in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Pocket Books novel Devil in the Sky and, in the IDW comic A Matter of Perspective, the Enterprise was en route to revisit the planet before being redirected for a distress call from a pleasure cruise.

-Janus VI was named twice on the tactical situation monitor.
 For the {{y|2006}} "[[Star Trek: The Original Series#Remastered|remastered]]" version of "The Devil in the Dark", a new, computer-generated version of Janus VI was created to replace the stock footage used in so many [[TOS]] episodes. New shots of the planet's surface were also created.

According to ''[[The Worlds of the Federation]]'' (page 110), Janus was a class-E planet known as Shaul by the Horta. According to ''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]'' (page 23), Janus VI was classified as a [[Star Trek: Star Charts#Planetary classification|class-F planet]].
-The star chart seen in ''Generations'' depicted the location of planets, stars, and star systems in the Alpha Quadrant. Based on the dimensions of the circles used to mark locations on the star chart seen in ''Generations'', this planet was located relatively far to the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}.
-"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Janus VI was located between the [[Tholian Assembly]] and [[Romulus]]. Both locations were identified in {{DS9|The Search, Part II|Call to Arms}} as being located in this quadrant. The chart was also seen in several ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes set in the [[24th century]], from the year [[2364]] to [[2370]]. These were {{TNG|Conspiracy|The Measure Of A Man|The Emissary|The Mind's Eye|The Game}}, and {{DS9|In the Hands of the Prophets|Cardassians}}.
-According to ''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]'' (pg 23), Janus VI was classified as a [[Star Trek: Star Charts#Planetary classification|F-class planet]].
