Farpoint Station
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
(Redirected from Farpoint)
Farpoint Station was a station built in extremely short time on Deneb IV. The Bandi, the species inhabiting Deneb IV, offered this station to Starfleet. The Bandi were not a very advanced civilization, and Starfleet was intrigued by this engineering performance.
Groppler Zorn of the Bandi kept a model of Farpoint Station in his office in the old Bandi City.
In 2364, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D investigated this station and found out that it was in fact a spaceborne entity enslaved by the Bandi. Following its liberation by the Enterprise, Captain Jean-Luc Picard worked with the Bandi to schedule the reconstruction of the station. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
In the non-canon Deep Space Nine Millennium novel The Fall of Terok Nor, it is revealed that, by 2374, a real Farpoint Station was constructed. This project was referenced in dialog at the end of "Encounter at Farpoint."
