Redfield III

Redfield III, or more completely labeled Alpha-Redfield III, is the third planet in the Alpha-Redfield system and is of Class K. It has very rich in minerals, mostprominently also dilithium and is comparable to Sol's Mars. Two small planets orbit the planet. While it is significantly smaller than e.g. Earth with a diameter of 10,500 km, due to the larger density and the large amount of heavy elements it has a gravity of 1.2 g. The planet is hot and has a thin atmosphere, containing 30% of water, 18% oxygen, 5% argon, 58% nitrogen, 2 % Carbonmonoxid, 10% of carbondioxide and 6% of Helium along with traces of other gases.

Redfield Station
Redfield Station was a Federation colony, set up to mine the dilithium ore from the planet. It had three above surface levels and two sublevels, situated above the mine shafts. The station had a crew of 154 people and was finished in 2376. The 1st level contained the workshops, the hangar, maintenantce, the reactor and the laboratories. The second level was home to the crew quarters, the recreationarea and sickbay. The topmost, third floor contained the communication, sensors, CIC, quarters and recreatonal facilities.

In 2379 Redfield station was attacked by an unknown force, prompting it to miss the four-week regular call with the Federation, which lead to USS Pegasus being sent to investigate. Upon learning that the whole crew was turned into mindless killing machines by an alien disease, the outpost was destroyed by USS Pegasus.
