SETU

Class M
Some 30 light-years inside the Shackleton Expanse is Setu, a water-heavy planet in the FGC-694751 system. The planet is referred to as Setu by the indigenous population of humanoids, called the Akaru. The Federation has yet to make first contact with the Akaru, so any information on the planet and its people is limited to what has been collected from traders and merchants who braved the Washboard effect to make the trip to Setu and back. The Akaru are known to be in the early years of warp capability and are enthusiastic traders, though the leader of the people and the planet, the Iryax, is known to drive a hard bargain on behalf of the people under its rule. To date, no Akaru are known to have left the confines of the Shackleton Expanse.
