Author’s Note: Pi Pharosi II, otherwise hailed as Direidi, is a real place in Federation history. They are aligned politically with the Federation. There is a large population of Klingons, as the Empire owns the contractual rights to mining dilithium. The planet is literally crawling with the precious mineral.
