Akaali homeworld

Pre-industrial planet visited in Civilization

The homeworld of the pre-industrial Akaali, where Enterprise's crew went undercover in 2151 and uncovered a covert Malurian mining operation that was poisoning the local population.

The Akaali homeworld is a Minshara-class planet with a pre-industrial humanoid civilisation of roughly five hundred million people. It appears in the Enterprise episode Civilization.
When Enterprise finds the planet in 2151, Archer, T'Pol, Tucker and Sato disguise themselves as Akaali to observe one of its cities. They detect a hidden antimatter reactor beneath an antique shop run by Garos, who proves to be a Malurian in disguise. His people are secretly mining veridium, and a by-product of the work is contaminating the water and making the townspeople ill.
With the help of Riann, a local apothecary, Archer exposes the operation, has the reactor beamed away and forces the Malurians to leave. It is one of the first occasions on which a Starfleet crew wrestles with interference in a less advanced culture.
