Velara III. Non-Class M planet that was the object of a terraforming project under the direction of Kurt Mandl in 2364. Previously believed to
be uninhabited, Velara III was discovered to be the home of subsurface crystalline life-forms called "microbrains". Mandl attempted to conceal the existence of
these life-forms because part of his project involved raising the water table on the planet, a move that would threaten the life-forms. Acting in self-defense, the
microbrains seized control of the Starship Enterprise-D, and the planet was eventually quarantined by Federation order at the request of the microbrains.
