Kelemane's planet during the Advanced Spaceflight era

Kelemane's planet was a planet in the Delta Quadrant. It was unusual due to its tachyon core, which generated a subspace particle field that runs between the poles.


When USS Voyager encountered the planet in 2376, it was pulled into the planet's orbit by strong gravimetric forces.
As a result of getting too close, the ship inadvertently caused high-frequency seismic activity on the surface.
Officers on Voyager described the planet as having "gravimetric readings similar to that of a collapsed dwarf star and a rapid rotation rate like a quasar".


On the surface of the planet, time was greatly accelerated compared to that of normal space. A rotation of the planet occurred 58 times per one minute, observed from normal space. The native humanoid species observed one day every 1.03 seconds.


While some in the Federation refer to this planet by the name of one of its inhabitants discovered by Voyager, others refer to it as Gotana's planet, after one of the planet's astronauts (Gotana-Retz) who discovered the "Sky Ship" (Voyager).
