Terrestrial Planet (Surface and Orbital Vicinity)

Gamma Hromi Two

Gamma Hromi Two yawns as a cold, rocky world warmed by sparse pockets of life: the ship’s sensors pick out localized heat signatures and the orange flicker of campfires on its surface. From orbit the planet reads like a study in contrast — the sterile black of space pressing close while below scattered human-scale lights promise breath and motion. The Enterprise hangs sentinel, tension buzzing on the bridge as officers weigh curiosity against caution and prepare to translate distant warmth into a first-contact operation.

S3E9 · The Vengeance Factor
Orbital Scan: Campfires Detected — Picard Orders Investigation

Gamma Hromi Two is the remote target of the Enterprise's scan — its localized heat and CO2 emissions provide the raw cause for the bridge's decision. The planet functions as both mystery and potential contact site, motivating tactical planning and diplomatic precaution.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere inferred as isolated and enigmatic from orbit: pockets of warmth against an otherwise cold, indifferent planetary backdrop.

Functional Role

Investigation site / target of survey

Symbolic Significance

Represents the frontier of contact and the uneasy boundary between scientific curiosity and diplomatic responsibility.

Access Restrictions

Accessible only via a sanctioned Starfleet away team and shuttlecraft under command authorization

Localized heat signatures and carbon-dioxide emissions indicating combustion Scattered small areas of light (campfire-like) visible from orbit Planet contrasts the sterile black of space with small pockets of human-scale warmth
S3E9 · The Vengeance Factor
Helm Test: Brull Challenges Wesley, Wesley Prevails

Gamma Hromi Two functions as the distant objective that gives the navigation choice real stakes: the bridge discussion is driven by the need to reach or approach this planet safely for diplomatic and operational reasons.

Atmosphere

Implied urgency and focus — the planet's proximity creates practical pressure on route selection.

Functional Role

Background destination that contextualizes the navigational dispute and upcoming boarding operation.

Symbolic Significance

Represents the diplomatic mission's objective and the precarious human stakes beneath technical choices.

Access Restrictions

Not applicable in-bridge context; the planet remains the remote target of the ship's trajectory.

Visible as an orbital body beyond the viewscreen, creating a visual endpoint. Its campfire-like sensor signatures referenced by the bridge create a sense of real human presence below.
