Melcat

Melcat is a single star system located in sector 16. Melcat is a spectral type F star with 3 gaseous giants orbiting in periodic elliptical orbits that enter and exit Federation Space. Melcat’s planet names are: MP-1, MP-2, MP-3. To avoid any potential smuggling in or out of Federation Space, all planetoids and natural satellites of these planets have been destroyed.

There have been many border disputes over the Melcat system within the last 14 years. Melcat was first classified as part of the United Federation of Planets on Star Date 42003.5 when Captain Geighor Ply’gorahn won the system in a card game. Captain Ply’gorahn, a Tholian know for risky behavior, played a high stakes game of 137 card Haru. Ply’gorahn had a quasi urah against Jevuranistaldequ’rondovan Smith, a known Orion Pirate, with a Pike hand. While Captain Ply’gorahn may have won the Melcat star itself, the card hands were close enough that he did not win the entire system.
