Surata IV was the inhabited fourth planet in the Surata system.
In 2365, the USS Enterprise-D visited here, where William T. Riker was stung by a thorn teeming with Surata IV microbes which attacked his central nervous system. The vine was predatory, as it deliberately stabbed any warm-blooded creature that happened by it. The plant then absorbed the nutrients from the decaying victim in order to grow and propagate. (TNG: "Shades of Gray")
The planet model for Surata IV was first used for Starbase Montgomery ("The Icarus Factor"). It would later be used for Angosia III ("The Hunted"), Risa ("Captain's Holiday"), Malcor III ("First Contact"), Starbase 112 planet ("Identity Crisis"), Kaelon II ("Half a Life"), Starbase 234 planet ("Redemption II"), Ruah IV ("The Chase"), Kesprytt III ("Attached"), and Dorvan V ("Journey's End").
