* Some sources suggest "Altairians" are native to the Alpha Aquilae system, but there is tremendous evidence of [[Human]] presence on all three inhabited planets.

History

No time frame is provided and no knowledge of this species is available.
  • June 20, 2156: In a second attempt to take Altair VI (i.e., the Second Battle of Altair), the Romulans are defeated by a large flotilla comprised of Andorian, Tellarite, and Human warships. The victory comes at a large loss of Andorian and Tellarite ships.[6]
  • 2237: Altair VI is one of several members to express interest in forming separate "defense zones" inside the Federation.[7]
The UFP and Klingon Empire both deploy starships to the region to ensure "their" side does not face intervention.
  • November 28th 2267: The Federation intervenes in the Altair conflict with peacekeepers and negotiates a resolution wherein all the inhabitants of the Altair system agree to a joint role in the new government, situated on Altair VI. The Federation also agrees to build a hospital on Altair IV.[1][2]

Important Locations

  • TBD

Notes

  • The use of "Altairian" is restricted to the indigenous people of Altair III. For the time being, "inhabitants of the Altair system" is being used to refer to the entire population of mixed species within the system, including the Humans and Palkeo Est.
  • The source of the conflict between the colony planets (in SFC-canon) stems from Altair IV's earlier colonization and assistance with the founding of the other two. Eventually, a parent/colony relationship with the three developed (but from Altair VI), with resentment & animosity increasing over time.
  • At one point I indicated this was a Tellarite colony or protectorate, but I cannot re-find any source that supports that.
  • Altair withdrew at some point after the Babel Conference of 2238 and before the end of the Four Years War, as the system rejoined (according to the source) in the 2260s.
  • The 2269 date is a best guess. The source indicates they were the last of three systems to rejoin the Federation in the 2260s, and TOS: "Amok Time" indicates three starships visited upon the occasion of the inauguration of the new president in 2267, which reportedly stabilized the area. The presumption is the system rejoined after a brief period of reformation.
  • This system has a large number of comets.
