DESCRITION
Coridan III is an M-class iced planet in the Coridan system.
Coridan is in the Beta Quadrant around 54 Ori (Star Trek: Star Charts) in Orion constellation.
Recently, astronomers discovered a new star around 54 Ori, a little red dwarf (M6V)
between 3.3 and 8.4 AU from primary and its location is between the third
and fourth planet which has a big inclination.


Coridan is located relatively close to the Sun (28.26 LY) and near of Orion (9.9 LY),
Vulcan (18.1 LY) and Andoria (19.2 LY).


 

History
In the 2150s Coridan was a world in civil war and an important world in the Vulcan-Andorian Cold War of that era due to
its immense deposits of dilithium.
Due to its strategic importance, the Coridan government was backed by the Vulcans and the rebel forces by the Andorians.
The Vulcans wanted a stable government to assure its dilithium exports to Vulcan.
In 2151, The NX-01 has visited this system and the Coridans had the largest starship construction yards in the sector.
(ENT episode: "Shadows of P'Jem").
Its population counts 185 millions.
In 2267, Coridan sought admission to the United Federation of Planets.

Starbase 25 turns around Coridan.
USS Delestrez and Scarpe, USS Kyoto, USS Juno and USS Interceptor turn around the starbase.
Shuttle Argo goes to coridan freighter which goes to shipyards.
USS Lafayette and USS Kiew are at spacedocks.
In front of Starbase 25 there is Coridan shipyards which contains :
a tactical and commercial starbase with 8 drydocks which product
coridan destroyers type and Mayflower class vessel.

A journey from Sun to Coridan gives with okuda table at cruise speed :
