Planet Ornara

Ornara, the home planet of the Ornarans, groans under the weight of a devastating Felicium addiction crisis that fractures its people’s spirit and survival. The planet’s surface bears the invisible scars of social collapse and despair, while distant transmissions carry fractured pleas that echo the desperation suffusing its atmosphere. Ornara emerges not merely as a geographical point but as a crucible of agony and ethical conflict, the locus where coercion and compassion collide. Its battered communities and the solemn burden of dependency render the planet a palpable presence that drives high-stakes moral reckoning among the Enterprise crew, embodying the tragic cost of exploitation and the fragile hope for redemption.
