Ba'ku Relocation Project

From Hidden Frontier

A forced-relocation project proposed by Starfleet Vice Admiral Dougherty in 2375. The project called for the relocation of 600 people from the planet Ba'ku without their knowledge using holoships. The rings of the planet emit a kind of metaphasic radiation that continuously rejuvinates the planet's inhabitants, giving them eternal life. It was believed at the time that the Bak'u were a pre-warp culture and thus did not have the technology necessary to realize the source of their rejuvination.

The project was originally approved by Starfleet Command but approval was eventually rescinded after the crew of the USS Enterprise discovered the project was merely a plot by the Son'a to expell their ancestors, the Ba'ku, from their home.
