Sherman's Planet

The Enterprise has arrived at Sherman’s Planet, a co-governed planet along the border of Klingon space. Half of the planet is Federation territory, home to 98 million Humans, and governed from the Federation capital city of Port Emily. The other half of the planet is Klingon territory, home to 115 million citizens of the Klingon Empire. The Klingon government administers from their capital city, Ka’Hat.

The Federation calls this planet, Sherman’s Planet, while it is known to Klingons as Homog III. The planet is at peace, and the populations do interact via trade and diplomacy.

Sherman’s Planet is primarily recognized as an agricultural planet, most well-known for quadrotriticale, a genetically-engineered, blue-colored grain hybrid of wheat and rye. Both the Humans and Klingons grow this for local consumption, and off-world shipments. As a result, Sherman’s Planet has a robust commerce economy, and a number of large cities where manufacturing and other industries are prevalent. A notable Starfleet facility also exists on this planet, with a small collection of orbital docks for Starfleet and Federation ships. The Enterprise has parked near one of these docks, and is already under resupply. In addition, our command staff is meeting with Starfleet personnel, and we should know our next assignment soon.

We are not on long-term shore leave status, but standard day passes are available for those who wish to visit this unique planet while we are here.
