Psi 2000
Type:	Planet
Status:	Destroyed

Psi 2000 was an ancient planet that disintegrated in 2266.

Before the planet's end, a science team had been stationed there on behalf of the Federation. The gravitational shifts associated with the disintegration of the planet resulted in the creation of large strings of water molecules known as polywater which resulted in the Psi 2000 intoxication.

Shortly thereafter, a landing party from the USS Enterprise beamed down to the planet and discovered the science team dead. During their investigation, Lieutenant junior grade Joe Tormolen unwittingly contracted the Psi 2000 intoxication and brought it back aboard the starship.

Suffering from the effects of the Psi 2000 intoxication, Lieutenant Kevin Riley powered down the ship's warp engines, causing the ship to begin spiraling towards Psi 2000. Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott was able to push the ship out of harm's way by initiating a cold start of the engines. (TOS: "The Naked Time")

Scotty later recounted these events to USS Enterprise-D chief engineer Geordi La Forge in 2369. (TNG: "Relics")

Background Edit

In the novelization appearing in Star Trek 1, the planet was named ULAPG42821DB, or La Pig, for short.

The 2006 "remastered" version of "The Naked Time" featured several updated shots of Psi 2000, most notably, a computer generated view of the science station on the surface of the planet.

Location Edit

In the episode "Conspiracy", there was a galactic map. This map showed the locations of several stars and planets from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series. In this map, Psi 2000 was located in a block set between 346 and 347, and one block from the galactic edge. Psi 2000 shared this block with Delta Vega. (Sol was located in a block set between 348 and 349, and two blocks from the galactic edge.)
