Old Bandi City was a city on Deneb IV and home to the Bandi.

In 2364, Groppler Zorn maintained his office there, and the city was within range of the Farpoint Station spaceborne entity's ability to act upon Commander William T. Riker's desire for a bowl of apples while he was there. The city was constructed out of relatively primitive materials when compared to the newly constructed Farpoint Station, something the visiting Starfleet officers noted. The Old Bandi City was destroyed, with "many casualties," by a spaceborne entity that could turn energy into matter shortly after the arrival of the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

Background information Edit

The city was built as a model by Industrial Light & Magic. ILM artists Pat Sweeney and David Carson filmed the explosions and fire scenes with this model on 16 July 1987 and were both interviewed during this shooting. These interviews are part of the TNG Season 1 DVD special feature "The Beginning".
