Discovered on Stardate 2713.5 by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701,[1] FGC-347601 III was later believed to be a terraformed duplicate of Earth created by the Preservers.[2] The adult population of the planet was killed by a viral experiment c.1966. The surviving children, who now called themselves the Onlies, had their aging slowed dramatically — aging only one month for every century — but were slowly dying as they reached maturity and the virus then accelerated their metabolism to fatal effect. The Enterprise crew found a cure, however, allowing them to survive.[1] By 2379, the population of Onlies had reached 13.1 million.[2] The planet was 24,874 miles in diameter, had a mass of 6⨯1021 tons, a mean density of 5.517, and possessed a Class M atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen — exactly the same as Earth.[1]
