In January of the year 2382, the Fourth Jroone was assigned by CIF to lead the Federation starship USS Demeter on a tour of the Confederacy's agricultural planets. Travelling through the streams, Overseer Balt showed the crew of Demeter the productive world Femra. Commander Liam O'Donnell of the Demeter, an agricultural expert, was unimpressed and convinced Bralt of providing a tour of another world, Vitrum. In February, the Demeter left the Fourth Jroone behind to show Bralt the last lemm, the Ark Planet. (VOY novel: Acts of Contrition)
