Corvan II was the inhabited second planetoid in the Corvan system, Beta Quadrant. This planet was near the Aneto system.

Rainforests on the planetoid were home to the Corvan gilvo, which were threatened by industrial pollutants during the 24th century. (DIS: "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry", "Choose Your Pain"; TNG: "New Ground")

History

Attack on Corvan II

"Let's send our Klingon friends a message they won't forget."
– Gabriel Lorca, 2256 ("The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry")
The Klingon attack on Corvan II

The Klingon attack on Corvan II

During the mid-23rd century, Corvan II was the site of a mining colony that produced forty percent of the Federation's dilithium supply. This made it strategically vital in the Federation-Klingon War, as half the fleet would be grounded without it. Because of this, a Starfleet blockade protected the colony.

Six months into the war, the Klingons ambushed the colony's blockade and destroyed its patrol ships. Several Klingon Birds-of-Prey bombarded the colony's magnetic shield, killing over two hundred colonists. By the time the colonists managed to send out a distress signal, the shield was projected to fail in six hours, while the closest Federation ship was eighty-four hours away.

Just after the shield failed and the colony had received a few direct hits, the USS Discovery used its unique spore drive to jump above the colony. The Discovery then destroyed the Klingon ships, saving the remaining colonists. (DIS: "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry")

32nd Century

In the 32nd century, Corvan II was a Federation member planet. It was listed with other members on a video wall in the USS Athena. (SA: "The Life of the Stars")

When the Venari Ral laid Omega-47 mines around the core of Federation space in 3196, this planet was within the enclosed region. (SA: "Rubincon")

Inhabitants

The initial attack on Corvan II was featured in the tutorial for Star Trek Online's expansion "Age of Discovery".
This planet's quadrant of origin was inferred based on the position of its star as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
According to reference work Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), Corvan II was listed as a Federation member in 2378. The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 163 also identified it as a Federation planet.
