  • Primary: Denobula Triaxa (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
  • Inhabitants: Denobulan
  • Population
    • 2152: 12 billion (ENT: "The Catwalk")
      • Maintained by 2165 (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Nation
  • 35.6 hours per Denobulan day (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)

History

  • Before 19th century: First contact with B'Saari II, Denobula's first interaction with alien life (ENT: "Future Tense")
    • Date by earliest known period of war with Antar
  • By 19th century: First contact with Antar (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Mid-19th century: War with Antar ends, following inadvertent mass famines triggered by biological strike at key Antaran crops intended to disrupt economy (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Though direct conflict ended, Antar continues to serve as a target of explicit hatred by extremist xenophobic Denobulan factions and implicit ill-will by much of the general population up to the 22nd century (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Mid-22nd century: Relations with Antarbegin to finally normalize (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)

Locations

Surface

  • Single continent, akin to Pangaean era of Earth (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Geographical structure leads to intense regular monsoons year-round (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Inner portion of continent largely uninhabitable prior to irrigation, due to outer edge of continent serving as natural storm break for innermost regions (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
      • 90% of continent uninhabited by 2165 (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Eastern seaboard often struck by massive hurricanes (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Initial settlement largely exclusively in southwestern coastal forests
    • Exclusive habitation in coastal regions led to extremely high population density (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
      • Overall average population density 2165 of approximately 1200 people per square kilometer in inhabited regions (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • High density and extreme climate resulted in general perception of integration with rather than domination over ecosystem, guiding industrial progress thusly (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Most buildings for communal purpose rather than private ownership
      • Extended waking cycle resulted in less need for private residences for personal safety during sleeping periods, leading to a general perception of communal ownership of property, construction (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
      • Private property tends towards work areas, storehouses, or "nests" devoted to annual hibernation, but few to no permanent residences (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Central Desert (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Gronim City (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Gronim River (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
    • Tregnig Towers (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
