Corvan II

Corvan II was an inhabited planetoid in the Corvan system, near the Aneto system. Rainforests on the planetoid were home to the Corvan gilvo, which were threatened by industrial pollutants during the 24th century. 

During the mid-23rd century, Corvan II was the site of a mining colony that produced forty percent of the Federation's dilithium supply. This made it strategically vital in the of 2256, as half the fleet would be grounded without it. Because of this, a Starfleet blockade protected the colony.

Attack on Corvan II
Six months into the war, the Klingons ambushed the colony's blockade and destroyed its patrol ships. Several bombarded the colony's magnetic shield, killing over two hundred colonists. By the time the colonists managed to send out a distress signal, the shield was projected to fail in six hours, while the closest Federation ship was eighty-four hours away.

Just after the shield failed and the colony had received a few direct hits, the USS Discovery used its unique spore drive to jump above the colony. The Discovery then destroyed the Klingon ships, saving the remaining colonists.
