The [[Element 247|247th Element]] was a naturally-occurring, stable, transuranic element discovered in 2371 by the crew of the USS Voyager. It was initially detected in the ring of a gas giant in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. It was so described because it was the 247th element discovered by the [[Federation]]. Its name remained unclear even as late as Voyager's return to the [[Alpha Quadrant]].
