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]
