This was where the Cerritos headed after leaving Apergos.

A dingy planet with which the Cerritos was tasked with performing second contact. The Apergosian High Leader just needed to choose their Planetary Federation Communication Number.

Humanoid species that lived on Apergos and called their leader the Apergosian High Leader. They had recently become warp-capable when the Cerritos was tasked with second contact. They were in the middle of an industrial revolution at the time, so everything was covered with soot on their planet. They also had a deep relationship with numbers, so choosing their Planetary Federation Communication Number was a more difficult task than expected.

Used for communicating within the Federation, along its subspace relays.

Also known as SMD, this was a rare condition that infected cyborgs with new implants. First, their opinions would change, then their brains would liquefy and leak out their noses.

A species that gave a gratitude mask to Captain Freeman after Ensign Mariner delivered root juice to them.

The planet where Osyraa originally pulled the same maneuver she did to get inside the Federation HQ shields - pretending her ship was chasing a friendly ship, when she’d actually already hijacked said friendly ship - and then immediately blew up the presidential palace.

Aurellio was a human male who was a member of Osyraa’s Emerald Chain crew that helped her overtake the Discovery so he could analyze how the spore drive worked. He used a floating “wheelchair” pod to get around, and loved Andorian opera. He also had the typical Orion piercings behind his ear to bless the arrival of a child, indicating he both had an Orion partner and that they had multiple children together. After the fall of the Emerald Chain, he worked to create a next-generation spore drive with Ruon Tarka.

An arachnid brought up by Admiral Vance as a simile, referring to Osyraa and her attack on the Discovery.
