The Akaali homeworld was a planet that was the homeworld of the Akaali civilization. Pre-industrial as of the 2150s, by then the planet had a population of about five hundred million and had yet to officially encounter an alien species - but some aliens were secretly involved in a mining operation that was poisoning the unaware Akaali.

The planet had a variety of tree, plant and wildlife. The outskirts of the cities had smaller populations with farms.

The planet is 78 light years away from Earth. In 2151, the Enterprise NX-01 visited the planet - which was in the general vicinity of a cluster of three neutron stars and a J'ral class supernova remnant. Upon entering orbit, Enterprise noted that there were no artificial satellites or ships in the area.

The planet was divided into provinces. There were dozens of major cities on each continent, which supported dozens of languages. Everyone in the city was required to carry identification papers.

In early 2150, a Malurian named Garos began secretly mining Veridium ore on the planet. Foreign chemicals in the drills began seeping into the water supply, and killing thousands of Akaali. The apothecary Riann began suspecting the newcomer Garos, and investigated his actions.

By July of 2151, Enterprise had found the planet and decided to send an away team to visit the eastern continent after detecting an alien antimatter reactor there. After further investigation, they forced Garos and his cohorts to leave the planet. Captain Jonathan Archer then removed the mining equipment, had Dr. Phlox synthesize an antidote for those afflicted, and spoke with the Vulcans, who agreed to check on the planet from time to time to make sure the Malurians were not taking advantage of them anymore.
