The Eminiar system is the principal star system in star cluster NGC 321. The system contained the planets Eminiar VII and Vendikar. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")

The location of Eminiar was depicted on a Federation star chart. The star was located near Talos. (TNG: "Conspiracy") The location of Eminiar was also depicted on a Federation tactical situation monitor in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix in 2367. The same chart was used in an alternate timeline, by Captain Jean-Luc Picard to monitor the progress of the war with the Klingons. (TNG: "The Wounded", "Yesterday's Enterprise")

HistoryEdit

The planets Eminiar VII and Vendikar had been fighting the interplanetary Eminiar-Vendikar War since the 18th century.

USS Valiant made first contact with the Eminians in 2217, but was destroyed before it could leave the system. Between 2247 and 2267 thousands of Federation lives were lost in the quadrant where the Eminiar system was located. Their lives could have been saved had the Federation had a treaty port in the area.

In 2267, the Federation wanted desperately to open diplomatic relations with the Eminiar system. Upon approach, Eminiar VII issued a code 710 warning - stay away at all costs. The actions of the crew of USS Enterprise effectively ended the war, and Ambassador Robert Fox assisted the planets in negotiating a peace treaty. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" display graphic)

By the 24th century, Eminiar VII had become a tourist destination for Federation citizens. A view of the surface of Eminiar VII was depicted on several viewscreens on Deep Space 9's Promenade and Replimat (DS9: "The Muse") advertising a trip to the "scenic Eminiar VII". (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
