Qo'noS.       At some unknown period in the distant past, the
Iconians deployed one of their Gateways on this moon where it
remained undetected for hundreds of years. (TNG novel: Doors
Into Chaos)      When the Klingon first went into space, they
regarded Praxis as gift from the Klingon gods. It was first
world visited by the Klingons who found it to contain a rich
mineral supply. For many years, the Klingons used the molten
core of Praxis to provide the Empire with energy. The Klingons
were noted as the first people to test such a procedure and
their work was duplicated by the Bajorans who tapped their moon
of Jeraddo to provide a similar source of energy for Bajor. (DS9
