[edit] Andorian gas giant

This large gas giant is a planet in the Andorian system. The moon Andoria, which serves as homeworld of the Andorians, orbits this planet. (ENT: "The Aenar")

[edit] Arkonian planet

This blue gas giant planet lies in a system annexed by the Arkonians. It was visited by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2152. It has sixty-two moons, at least some of which are partially habitable. Some of the moons' atmospheres were rich in selenium isotopes, which affected the sensor systems of the time. Commander Tucker's shuttlepod crash-landed on one of the moons when an Arkonian patrol ship fired on him.

[edit] Binary System planet

This uninhabited planet more then 100 light years from Earth and more then 20 light years from the Takret system. was teeming with all sorts of plant and animal life. It's southern continent featured a gorge five times deeper then the Grand Canyon. Due to it's binary suns it experienced night only four days a month.

The crew of the Enterprise NX-01 was planing to explore the planet in 2152 when instead they were forced to take shelter in it's orbit from a class five Neutronic wave front. (ENT: "The Catwalk")

[edit] Deuterium mining colony

A planet with a colony of members of Tessic's species that mined deuterium, a Klingon ship stole from them on a season-ly basis until the Enterprise NX-01 intervened and taught them to defend themselves. (ENT: "Marauders")

[edit] Diamagnetic storm planet

The Enterprise NX-01 surveyed a planet containing ruins of an extinct humanoid species in 2152. The ruins consisted of several underground chambers, some of them 4000 years old. The planet experienced intense Diamagnetic storms from time to time. (ENT: "Vanishing Point")

[edit] Gas giant

In 2151, the Enterprise NX-01 visited this gas giant planet and found a disabled Klingon Raptor-class ship slowly descending through the layers of the gas giant planet's atmosphere. The crew managed to save the ship just before it buckled under the stress of the extreme pressure of the planet's atmosphere. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")

[edit] Hatchery planet

Uninhabited planet where in 2154 the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 found a derelict Xindi-Insectoid ship located on the surface. (ENT: "Hatchery")

[edit] Iron-silica planet

An iron-silica composition planet was visited by the USS Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor")

[edit] Kantare planet

In 2151, a trader gave Enterprise NX-01 the coordinates of a planet that had an abandoned ship for spare parts, but warned that the ship was haunted. Upon arriving at the unnamed planet, they discovered it was not haunted, but was in fact a ship of holograms (and two living people), that the Kantare supply ship had crashed on, about half way between Kantare and their colony on Kotara Barath. It had at least one moon. (ENT: "Oasis")

[edit] Kelvan colony

This unnamed Class M planet was the site of the horrible death of Yeoman Leslie Thompson, while with an Enterprise landing party in 2268.

The planet is not too far from the edge of our galaxy, being "within an hour" of the outer barrier - at Warp 11. In 2268 the planet had a small population of stranded beings from the Andromeda Galaxy. Their multi-generational ship had taken only three Earth centuries to cross over from their endangered homeworld Kelva, but could not come through our galaxy's energy barrier intact. The survivors, who had been born in transit and known no other environment, were forced to abandon ship and take shelter here.

The Kelvans take human form in anticipation of appropriating the USS Enterprise. But they are not yet human enough to feel comfortable on their Class M planet. Rojan (standing left in the image) calls it "this accursed planet" and his lieutenant Hanar says it is "an undisciplined environment." On the other hand, Kelinda (standing right) does find one of the planet's flowers to be like a Kelvan crystal seen in the record banks of their lost intergalactic ship.

These ruthless beings kill Yeoman Thompson as a warning to Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Together with the landing party's Operations Division she is converted into a fourteen-sided object small and light enough to be held in a human hand. Rojan then breaks her bizarre new form and scatters it irrevocably. Kirk is aghast.

Because the Yeoman and the Security man were low-ranking crewmembers, they were regarded as "unnecessary" - the Andromedan hijackers required only a few highly trained officers for their purposes. (TOS: "By Any Other Name")

[edit] Class L Planet

In March 2153, Skalaar and Jonathan Archer set down on this planet to escape Kago-Darr and conduct repairs to Skalaar's Tellarite shuttle. The planet was located less then six light years from Klingon space. (ENT: "Bounty")

[edit] Lore's planet

In 2369, Lore and his rogue Borg utilized a base on the surface of this planet. (TNG: "Descent")

[edit] Magnesite planet

In December of 2154, Enterprise encountered an Orion trader called Harrad-Sar. He invited an away team from Enterprise to beam aboard his ship, where he told Captain Jonathan Archer of a planet rich in magnesite that his vessel had detected. His ship was incapable of removing the magnesite from beneath the planet's surface, so he requested the help of Enterprise. When the starship proceeded to the planet, it was attacked by an Orion ship. Although Harrad-Sar's claim held true – the planet did contain large quantities of magnesite – he later attacked Enterprise and revealed that his plan had always been to disable the NX class starship. (ENT: "Bound")

[edit] Ocean planet system

After escaping from a Retellian freighter in 2151, Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker and the Kriosian First Monarch Kaitaama set course for a system containing several planets and moons. Only one of the planets turned out to have an atmosphere. It was mostly covered by water, but there was a chain of swampy islands near the equator. (ENT: "Precious Cargo")

[edit] Organian observation planet

In 2154, the Starfleet vessel Enterprise surveyed a planet which was under Organian observation. Because the crew of Enterprise didn't know this at the time, they sent a landing party to survey the planet. On the planet's surface, a silicon-based virus infected Commander Charles Tucker, a member of the landing party, while he and Ensign Hoshi Sato traveled back to Enterprise in a shuttlepod. The Organians had used the virus, to observe the reactions of various species, several times before. Among the visitors to the planet who had been infected with the virus were Cardassian and Klingon crews. The Klingons had been killed by their own commander in a shuttlecraft, the remains of which still orbited the planet. (ENT: "Observer Effect")

[edit] Pre-warp society planet

This planet is home to a pre-warp society with factions in a cold war state.

In 2152 the Enterprise NX-01 visited the planet. Captain Archer and Lieutenant Malcolm Reed were briefly held prisoner here after the authorities discovered a lost communicator and mistook them for enemy infiltrators.

The beverage Allakas malt originates from this planet. (ENT: "The Communicator")

[edit] Ringed Gas Giant

This gas giant just outside the border of the Klingon Empire was the site of a confrontation between the Earth ship Enterprise and the Klingon battle cruiser IKS Bortas in 2152. the planet featured rings with a typical composition of methane ice, isolytic plasma and diamagnetic dust. (ENT: "Judgment")

[edit] Romulan Minefield-planet

In 2152, the Enterprise NX-01 planned to explore an uncharted Minshara class planet. It was uninhabited and it's most notable geological feature was a chain of volcanoes spanning an entire hemisphere. After the ship was hit by a mine and two Romulan Birds-of-Prey decloaked, it became clear that the planet was claimed by the Romulan Star Empire. (ENT: "Minefield")

[edit] Romulan system-planets

The innermost and the outermost planet in the Romulan system containing Romulus and Remus are unnamed. "Romulus I" and "Romulus IV" have been popular suggestions, however there is no canon reference to their names . (Star Trek Nemesis)

[edit] Selcundi Drema planet

This planet is one of the four uninhabited planets in the Selcundi Drema sector. It is not suitable for colonization due to severe geological activity and is expected end up like Drema V. (TNG: "Pen Pals")

[edit] Sluggo's homeworld

This planet was the homeworld of a species resembling the Earth slug and had an atmosphere that was rich in argon. In 2151, the planet was visited by an away team from the NX class Enterprise that included Ensign Hoshi Sato, who took one of the planet's slug-like inhabitants, which she named "Sluggo", with her when she returned to Enterprise. (ENT: "Fight or Flight")

[edit] Sluggo's adoptive homeworld

This planet had an argon-rich atmosphere. Ensign Sato and Denobulan Doctor Phlox from Enterprise visited the planet on May 6, 2151 and transplanted a slug-like creature there. (ENT: "Fight or Flight")

[edit] Starbase 6

The class-M world where Starbase 6 is located. (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")

[edit] Starbase 73

The class-M world where Starbase 73 is located. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")

[edit] Starbase 179

The class-M world where Starbase 179 is located. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")

[edit] Starbase 515

The class-M world where Starbase 515 is located. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

[edit] Starbase Montgomery

The class-M world where Starbase Montgomery is located. (TNG: "The Icarus Factor")

[edit] Suliban gas giant

In 2151, Enterprise encountered a gas giant while following the warp trail of a Suliban vessel. Under the cyclohexane layer of the planet's atmosphere was an unexpected layer of liquid phosphorus. A Suliban helix composed of many Suliban cell ships was also found on the planet's surface. However, Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer boarded the helix and used a magnetic device to separate the space station. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

[edit] Symbiotic lifeform homeworld

The planet has a moon or a large neighboring planet. In early 2152, after Enterprise had been infected with a symbiotic lifeform, they were able to find the location of its homeworld with the help of the Kreetassans.

Upon finding the planet, an away team went down to return the lifeform, and its severed tendril that Phlox examined, to the larger creature that took up much of the planet. (ENT: "Vox Sola")

[edit] System with shifted orbits

In this system contained at least three planets. One of them was detected to have undergone an orbital shift by Starfleet, taking it between two gas giants. The gas giants influence was expected to superheat the core of the third planet, covering the planet with errupting volcanos in no time. Enterprise was ordered by admiral Forrest to study it. While the planet initialy appeared lifeless, the seismic activity unearthed subterran microbes. (ENT: "Horizon")

[edit] Trellium mining planet

The trellium mining planet is located about a six-week journey inside the Delphic Expanse. Trellium-D is mined there. The atmosphere of the planet is extremely polluted; many of the staff wear respirators and sustained survival on the surface is impossible. Members of thirty-one different species work in the mines in some capacity.

Enterprise visited this planet in September of 2153 because a freighter captain informed them that he had taken a Xindi there some time ago. Upon arrival, Captain Jonathan Archer and Commander Charles Tucker were forced to provide a half-liter of liquefied platinum to the foreman of the north mine to see the Xindi, a Primate named Kessick.

It turned out to be a trap, however. The miners worked by capturing ships and forcing their crew to work as slaves. Enterprise was barely able to escape, but Kessick died in the attempt. (ENT: "The Xindi")

[edit] Uninhabited Planet

Enterprise had been exploring this planet for three days in March 2153 when they were forced to recall their three surface science teams to pursue a bounty hunter who had captured their captain. They had also put down a number of crewmen on it for shore leave.

Among the planet's most enjoyable regions were equatorial range, including a north summit with an inspiring view. In the north there was the Rykos shoreline, the southern tip of which was 227 km from the polar island chain. These islands featured a pyroclastic debris field, lava tubes, and the hydrothermal pools of Ren-gham. the planet also featured ravines. However, as Skalaar mentioned these things after learning Archer's name, it is possible he made these features up to earn Archer's trust and be able to kidnap him.

The planet supported life, for example a species of marsupials who's saliva was a natural anti-coagulant. There was also an unusual microbe which was capable of inducing Pon farr in Vulcans. The microbe was also suspected of being more dangerous to Humans then to Vulcans or Denobulans (ENT: "Bounty")
