| Quadrant | Alpha (assumed) |
| Background | Coridan was admitted to Federation in 2268 through efforts of Vulcan ambassador Sarek at the Babel Conference, despite opposition from other Federation worlds profitting from those illegal mining deals. Coridan's political influence has lessened as techniques to synthetically produce dilithium in areas such as nuclear epitaxy and antieutectics were developed. |
| Editors Notes | Large deposits of natural dilithium crystals made Coridan subject to several illegal mining deals with other, more powerful worlds. Coridan's loss of political power is conjectural, but plausible in that that's how things often occur. |
