Ponea

The Ponea are a humanoid species from the world of Ponea.

In the 2230's they had discovered that a patient had a disease, one which was projected to being deadly. This patient was deemed Patient Zero and moved to quarantine, where a cure can be found. However, the disease soon spread to 1/3rd of the population. They were discovered by the Terran Federation in 2267, who offered their assistance after a special resolution by the Legislature. Fifteen thousand unaffected individuals were moved from the planet until a cure for the disease could be found. However, when it was discovered the disease could not be cured, the planet was declared unsafe.
