From _Star Trek, The Worlds of the Federation_, p. 140-141.Federation catalog name is Zeta Bootis III. "This Class M world is the third often that orbit a brilliant, moderate-size yellow star in a binary system. Theplanet is quite Earth-like, with vast oceans and desert, moderate, and tropicalclimate zones. Neural is the only planet in the Zeta Bootis system to have amoon, which has been named Asetia by the native population of Neural's lowerdesert. The native inhabitants of the planet are humanoid, possibly thedescendants of a Centaurian exploration mission that disappeared in the areasome two hundred years ago. The population was once one of tranquil,peace-loving hunters, but a serious breach of the Prime Directive ahs resultedin their development of war and comparatively advanced projectile weapons. Direct Klingon interference, countered by Federation involvement, has dividedthe inhabitants into five major factions, each of which is feuding with theother four. One of the more notable native animal forms on Neural is themugato."
