FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)


Marginally Class M, Tantalus V was one of six planets that orbited a white dwarf[1] in Quadrant II of Federation space,[2] and was the site of a Federation penal colony and asylum for the criminally insane. In 2207 the asylum was run by Dr. Tristan Adams. That year, Adams' associate, Dr. Simon van Gelder, discovered that Adams had been experimenting on patients with his neural neutralizer device. Adams used the neural neutralizer on van Gelder—which caused him to appear to have multiple psychoses—and committed him to the asylum. On Stardate 2715.1, van Gelder escaped to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, and the truth of Adams' behavior was finally exposed, though Adams died during the incident.[3] The combined population of staff and inmates totaled 147. A restricted area, only authorized spacecraft were permitted within the system.[1]
