They found a Klingon dilithium mining enterprise on the moon of the 6th planet and a related Colony on the Minshara-class 2nd planet. The distress call was from the enslaved miners, a people from a planet deep in Klingon space, known as Daliwaka. The Fleet ships liberated the slaves, driving the Klingons away, and established New Darwin Colony on the 2nd planet, called by the Daliwakan, Oonah Lotmah (New Hope). Now in early 2159, at the outset of the Romulan War, the Colony has rebuilt from the ruins left by the Klingons, and the two peoples, human and Dali, have learned to work together, to love one another, and have fought together a fierce battle to repel an overwhelming onslaught of Nausicaan mercenaries working for the mysterious Romulans. But with the joint leadership of Starfleet and the free Daliwakan, the Colony is growing, exploring their uninhabited paradise, preparing defenses to protect the enormous dilithium deposits in the System, and creating for themselves a place to call Home. New Darwin Colony is one of five PBeM Enterprise Era SIMS under the umbrella of Starfleet: The First Era. TFE has been running continuously since Nov of 2001, featuring ship and space station based SIMs. The planet-based colony of New Darwin is the newest addition to TFE, and was established just over 2 years ago. TFE and New Darwin should be considered creative writing in a social environment; a collection of writers exploring the galaxy beyond Earth, as well as the inner space of the human mind and heart on that journey.
