The Qomar homeworld was an inhabited planet in the Delta Quadrant, home to the advanced Qomar people. The head of the Qomar Planetary Alliance was called the "Prelate", who in 2376, was Prelate Koru. The Qomar system was strictly regulated, as they were highly xenophobic, not for fear or war reasons, but the Qomar believed they were superior to many other races. Simpler species' scanning beams were so incompatible with their technology, that they could even disrupt their propulsion systems. The space around their planet was very busy, and simply navigating the many ships could be troublesome.
