Jaris Major

Jaris Major is a human colony in vicinity of the Cardassian territory. The colony was founded 20 years ago and is very reclusive. Jaris Major is a desert planet, but has large underground cave systems, which have a mild climate and underground rivers. There is an endemic fungus species, which strengthens healing processes, which led to the establishment of a capable hospital on the planet.

During the Dominion War Dominion forces invaded the planet as a staging ground against the Federation. During the final days the planet was liberated by the Romulans. However even after the war the Romulans did not leave the planet and are still occupying it, claiming the need of further protection.
