Well, this is giving me ideas. I needed for K7 to remain there for the

story and for the planet to be in Federation hands. I was worried that
som= ething in
canon might imply a different outcome for Sherman's Planet (not that
ultima= tely canon
matters for us). Therefore, I have decided the following for the purposes
= of Steve-Trek
and in particular the possible story entitled "Troubled Tribbles."
Sherman's World (surprisingly, it's not on my detailed starmap, so I'll
hav= e to add it):
A Federation planet, officially labelled as a colony world. The current
po= pulation (2377)
is about two million Federation citizens, approximately half of which are
h= uman and=20
the rest include representatives of other Federation races. About 100,000 = Klingons
live there, mostly from the Qo'nos subbranch. Sherman's World was designat= ed as
a settlement planet for those fleeing frontier worlds during the Dominion W= ar. The
planet has fertile soils and a suitable climate for wide-scale agriculture,=
especially
the development of fruit and vegetable crops and grain crops. Much of the
= agricultural
output tends to go to other planets that are not as well developed, and whi= ch lack
widespread replicator technology. During the period of the breakdown of
th= e Khitomer
Accords, the planet was briefly held by Klingon forces, who put in place a = puppet
administration consisting mostly of Sherman's World Klingons. When the Fed= eration-
Klingon hostilities ended, Klingon forces withdrew voluntarily, and most of=
those in
the puppet administration also left because they felt that they had
betraye= d a sense
of honour by usurping the power of the legitimate government. After this p= eriod,
quiet negotiations were concluded with the Klingon government, to reorganiz= e
Sherman's World as a fully Federation world, while allowing the Klingons to=
assume
full control on another jointly-administered planet where Klingon numbers w= ere much
larger.
Space Station K7: originally placed in orbit around Sherman's World to
sol= idify the
Federation claim to the planet, and to be a base of operations for the deve= lopment
of the world, the station has remained, although parts of it had been modif= ied and
expanded, while the design of the station allowed modular upgrades as neces= sary.
Although the central shell remains the same, most of the interior has been
= modernized.
The station serves as a base for ships operating out of the planet, and
als= o as a Starfleet
base for ships patrolling the Federation-Klingon border. Areas of the
stat= ion remain
under civilian control, allowing for traders to do their thing and for
othe= r commerce to
continue. The storage areas of the station contained a number of stasis un= its that
held dead tribbles, those that had died when the grain was poisoned in 2166=
(year un-
certain, TOS "The Trouble With Tribbles"). These units had
remained there = and
basically forgotten about, until the Athena arrived and first officer Julia=
Bayanhong
examined them. She found that not all the tribbles were dead, as some had = used
the process of stasis to very slowly undo the effects of the poison [What
h= appens next
is the story, and I am unsure of how it will proceed].
This gives me ideas for the setting of the story.

Well, this is giving me

K7 to remain there for the purpose of the

hands. I was worried that something in
canon might imply a different outcome for
Sherman's
Planet (not that ultimately canon
matters for us).
Therefore, I have decided
the following for the purposes of Steve-Trek
and in particular the possible
story entitled
"Troubled Tribbles."
Sherman's World (surprisingly,
it's not on my
detailed starmap, so I'll have to add it):
A Federation planet, officially
labelled as a
colony world. The current population (2377)
is about two million Federation citizens,
approximately half of which are human and
the rest include representatives of other
Federation races. About 100,000 Klingons
live there, mostly from the Qo'nos
subbranch.
Sherman's World was designated as
a settlement planet for those
fleeing frontier
worlds during the Dominion War. The
planet has fertile soils and a
suitable climate
for
wide-scale agriculture, especially
the development of fruit and
vegetable crops and
grain crops. Much of the agricultural
output tends to go to other
planets that are not
as
well developed, and which lack
widespread replicator
technology. During the
period of the breakdown of the Khitomer
Accords, the planet was briefly
held by Klingon
forces, who put in place a puppet
administration consisting mostly
of Sherman's
World
Klingons. When the Federation-
Klingon hostilities ended, Klingon
forces withdrew
voluntarily, and most of those in
the puppet administration also
left because they
felt that they had betrayed a sense
of honour by usurping the power of
the legitimate
government. After this period,
quiet negotiations were concluded
with the Klingon
government, to reorganize
Sherman's World as a fully
Federation world, while
allowing the Klingons to assume
full control on another jointly-administered
planet
where Klingon numbers were much
larger.
Space Station K7:
originally placed in orbit
around Sherman's World to solidify the
Federation claim to the planet,
and to be a base
of
operations for the development
of the world, the station has
remained, although
parts of it had been modified and
expanded, while the design of the
station allowed
modular upgrades as necessary.
Although the central shell remains
the same, most
of the interior has been modernized.
The station serves as a base for
ships operating
out of the planet, and also as a Starfleet
base for ships patrolling the
Federation-Klingon
border. Areas of the station remain
under civilian control, allowing
for traders to do
their thing and for other commerce to
continue. The storage
areas of the station
contained a number of stasis units that
held dead tribbles, those that had
died when the
grain was poisoned in 2166 (year un-
certain, TOS "The Trouble

These units had remained there and
basically forgotten about, until the Athena
arrived
and first officer Julia Bayanhong
examined them. She found
that not all the
tribbles were dead, as some had used
the process of stasis to very
slowly undo the
effects of the poison [What happens next
is the story, and I am unsure of how it will
proceed].
