This small planet and its native humanoid population has been the subject of considerable controversy over the last three decades. Rich in natural minerals and large amounts of dilithium, Coridan was often the victim of privateering raids by commercial and even government sponsored sectors. The Coridan Problem intensified when the local inhabitants applied for admission into the Confederation, thus sparking a conference on Babel. However, their admission was narrowly denied in favor of a quarantined status. |
