Federation Science Station Database - Science Station, Ventax II

	History:
	Ventax II. Class-M planet that, a millennium ago, suffered from terrible wars and environmental havoc. According to Ventaxian legend, this dark age was ended by the Contract of Adra, in which the mythic figure Ardra agreed to grant a thousandyears of peace and prosperity in exchange for the population delivering itself into slavery at the end of the millennium. Federation antropologist Dr. Howard Clark issued a distress call from Ventax II in 2367 when a con artist identifying herself as Ardra attempted to collect on that contract. First contact with the Ventaxians had been made in 2291 by a Klingon expedition. TNG "Devil's Due" ; Star Trek Encyclopedia II
