Gravett Island, location

Location of Gravett Island.

Gravett Island, located at coordinates 18 136 128, is an isolated and uninhabited island located in Earth's South Pacific.

After having traveled back to 2063, the USS Enterprise-E was nearly overrun by the Borg. Captain Jean-Luc Picard initiated the ship's auto-destruct sequence, evacuated his crew to Gravett Island, and ordered them to find a "quiet corner of North America and stay out of history's way."

The remaining Enterprise-E's crew landed on Gravett Island in order to minimize the possibility that 24th century technology would pollute the timeline, therefore violating the Temporal Prime Directive. (Star Trek: First Contact)

There is no Gravett Island outside the Star Trek universe. However, if it did exist in the real world, it would be located near French Polynesia. The island was probably named after Jacques Gravett, Ronald Moore's assistant.
