Archanis IV
Type:	Planet
Location:	Archanis system Archanis sector Beta Quadrant
Affiliation:	Klingon Empire

Archanis IV was the fourth planet of the Archanis system in the Archanis sector. This planet was located in the Beta Quadrant close to the Federation-Klingon border. The planet was part of the Klingon Empire until the mid 23rd century when the Klingons ceded it to the United Federation of Planets.

Under the influence of the Beta XII-A entity, Pavel Chekov believed he had a brother, Piotr Chekov, who had been killed by the Klingons on Archanis. According to Chekov, the planet contained a research outpost, and a hundred people were killed. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")

Following the beginning of the Federation-Klingon War, Gowron sent a message to the Federation Council, telling them to remove all Starfleet forces from the planet and the system. The planet was soon taken over by the Klingons, although Starfleet would be regrouping for a counter-attack on the Archanis sector some months later.
