An Erewhon-class personnel transport carrying colonists to Gemulon V that landed on a planet in the Orellius system in 2360, where its passengers lived without technology for ten years.
The SS Santa Maria was a Federation transport that set out in 2360 with a party of colonists bound for Gemulon V. It appears in the Deep Space Nine episode Paradise.
After reporting life support trouble the ship put down on a habitable planet in the Orellius system, where nothing electrical would work. Led by the philosopher Alixus, the stranded passengers built a farming village and came to believe they were better off.
When Sisko and O'Brien beam down in 2370 and are trapped in turn, O'Brien traces the dampening effect to a duonetic field generator buried in the woods. Alixus had picked the planet, faked the emergency and built the device to test her theories on unwilling subjects. Most of the colonists choose to stay all the same.
