In 2376, USS Voyager became trapped in orbit of Kelemane's planet. Because of a time displacement, approximately one day on the planet passed for every one second that Voyager observed while in orbit. During this time Voyager was able to watch the development of civilization on the planet. The cultural center of the Central Protectorate was an area along the eastern lake. In this area were many opera houses and concert halls. The Central Protectorate was a military power. When a short war broke out with a neighboring state, the Tactical Air Command was ordered to respond.
