A planet whose two factions, the Rekags and the Seronians, were fighting a war in 2369 that endangered a Federation shipping route, bringing the mediator Ves Alkar aboard the Enterprise-D.
Rekag-Seronia is an inhabited planet lying along an important Federation trade route. It features in the sixth-season Next Generation episode Man of the People.
By 2369 fighting between the planet's two peoples has grown so fierce that passing ships are being attacked. The Federation sends Ambassador Ves Alkar, a Lumerian with a record of calm, successful mediation. After the transport carrying him comes under fire, the Enterprise-D takes him the rest of the way.
Alkar's serenity has a hidden source. He unloads all his darker emotions into a chosen woman, who ages and dies in his place. When the old woman travelling with him dies, he performs the same bonding rite with Deanna Troi. As he negotiates a ceasefire on the planet, Picard and Crusher break the link by briefly letting Troi die, and the rebounding emotions kill Alkar.
