| Background | Long thought to be a legend, Aldea was believed to be a peaceful, advanced world. They used a Planetary Cloaking Device to hide their existance from intruders resulting in sterility of the population. In 2364 they attempted to kidnap several children from the Enterprise-D in an attempt to perpetuate their society. After the attempt failed, The Enterprise helped the Aldeans dissasemble the cloaking device to allow the ozone layer to reform. |
| Editors Notes | They are highly advanced in the arts and sciences. The planet has extensive weather-control networks so virtually every region of the planet enjoys a mild temperature. Buildings are created to blend in with natural surroundings as though they were part of nature. The Aldeans have suffered severe genetic damage from ozone depletion resulting from their planetary cloaking device, and are virtually sterile. The future of the Aldean race is in serious doubt, but UFP physicians and scientists have been lending assistance since the cloaking device was disabled. For now the Aldeans have remained independant, but it is considered to be a UFP protectorate until they decide whether to remain neutral, or join the Federation. |
