List of unnamed planets in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

Contents

Andorian gas giantEdit

Enterprise NX-01 near Andoria and its gas giant in 2154

This large gas giant is a planet in the Andorian system. The moon Andoria, which serves as homeworld of the Andorians, orbits this planet. (ENT: "The Aenar")

According to writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens in a special features segment in ENT Season 4 DVD, the establishment of the Andorian homeworld as a moon orbiting a gas giant was devised to help explain the contradiction of why it was sometimes called Andor and sometimes it was called Andoria. They explained that it could be both and that they had hoped to establish the gas giant as Andor and the moon as Andoria.


Arkonian planetEdit

A blue gas giant and three of its moons

This blue gas giant planet lies in a system annexed by the Arkonians. It was visited by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2152. It has sixty-two moons, at least some of which are partially habitable. Some of the moons' atmospheres were rich in selenium isotopes, which affected the sensor systems of the time. Commander Tucker's shuttlepod crash-landed on one of the moons when an Arkonian patrol ship fired on him. (ENT: "Dawn")

Baran's hide-outEdit

Baran's ship in orbit of his hide-out planet.

After a short battle with the USS Enterprise-D in orbit of Calder II, mercenary Arctus Baran made a stopover at this planet to repair his ship. (TNG: "Gambit, Part II")

Binary System planetEdit

This uninhabited planet was more then 100 light years from Earth and more then 20 light years from the Takret system. It teemed with all sorts of plant and animal life. Its southern continent featured a gorge five times deeper then the Grand Canyon. Due to its binary suns it experienced night only four days a month.

The crew of the Enterprise NX-01 was planning to explore the planet in 2152 when instead they were forced to take shelter in its orbit from a class five neutronic wave front. (ENT: "The Catwalk")

Blue Planet in Klingon spaceEdit

The planet with some moons

This planet, with at least three moons, was part of a system located inside Klingon space. In May 2154, a Bird-of-Prey hijacked by Augments dropped the denobulan ship Barzai into its upper atmosphere. It became trapped between two thermal layers, forcing Enterprise to halt the persuit of the Bird-of-Prey to rescue the ship and its pilot. (ENT: "The Augments")

From the look the planet might be a gas giant. Given the details of the story, it is probably close to the border of Klingon space, and very close to the path from the border to Qu'Vat colony.


Dark matter nebula planetEdit

A planet in a dark matter nebula.

In 2374, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his crew crashlanded a Jem'Hadar attack ship on this planet. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals")

Deuterium mining colonyEdit

The Surface of a Deuterium Mining Colony (2152)

A planet with a colony of members of Tessic's species that mined deuterium, a Klingon ship stole from them on a seasonly basis until the Enterprise NX-01 intervened and taught them to defend themselves. (ENT: "Marauders")

Diamagnetic storm planetEdit

The Enterprise NX-01 surveyed a planet containing ruins of an extinct humanoid species in 2152. The ruins consisted of several underground chambers, some of them 4000 years old. The planet experienced intense diamagnetic storms from time to time. (ENT: "Vanishing Point")

Dominion planetEdit

A Dominion planet

Damar and his Cardassian Rebellion sabotaged a Jem'Hadar attack ship that exploded while leaving orbit of this planet. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")

Gas giantEdit

The gas giant with the trapped Raptor-class vessel

In 2151, the Enterprise NX-01 visited this gas giant planet and found a disabled Klingon Raptor-class ship slowly descending through the layers of the gas giant planet's atmosphere. The crew managed to save the ship just before it buckled under the stress of the extreme pressure of the planet's atmosphere. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")

Hatchery planetEdit

Uninhabited planet and location of derelict Xindi-Insectoid ship

Uninhabited planet where in 2154 the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 found a derelict Xindi-Insectoid ship located on the surface. (ENT: "Hatchery")

Iron-silica planetEdit

Lazarus' planet

An iron-silica composition planet was visited by the USS Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor")

Jaradan sector planetEdit

A planet in the Jaradan sector

In 2364 a historic rendezvous between the USS Enterprise-D and the Jarada was held in orbit of this Jaradan sector planet. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye"

This may have been intended to be Torona IV. Please see the note in that entry for more details.


Kantare planetEdit

A crashed Kantare ship on an unnamed planet (2151)

In 2151, a trader gave Enterprise NX-01 the coordinates of a planet that had an abandoned ship for spare parts, but warned that the ship was haunted. Upon arriving at the unnamed planet, they discovered it was not haunted, but was in fact a ship of holograms (and two living people), that the Kantare supply ship had crashed on, about half way between Kantare and their colony on Kotara Barath. It had at least one moon. (ENT: "Oasis")

Kelvan colonyEdit

The Kelvan colony

This unnamed Class M planet was the site of the death of Yeoman Leslie Thompson, while with a USS Enterprise landing party in 2268.

The planet was not too far from the edge of our galaxy, being "within an hour" of the outer barrier - at Warp 11. In 2268 the planet had a small population of stranded beings from the Andromeda Galaxy. Their multi-generational ship had taken only three Earth centuries to cross over from their endangered homeworld Kelva, but could not come through our galaxy's energy barrier intact. The survivors, who had been born in transit and known no other environment, were forced to abandon ship and take shelter here.

The surface of the Kelvan colony

The Kelvans took Human form in anticipation of appropriating the USS Enterprise. But they were not yet human enough to feel comfortable in a Class M planet. Rojan called it "this accursed planet" and his lieutenant Hanar said it was "an undisciplined environment." On the other hand, Kelinda did find one of the planet's flowers to be like a Kelvan crystal seen in the record banks of their lost intergalactic ship. (TOS: "By Any Other Name")

Class L planet (2153)Edit

The Class L planet

In March 2153, Skalaar and Jonathan Archer set down on this planet to escape Kago-Darr and conduct repairs to Skalaar's Tellarite shuttle. The planet was located less than six light years from Klingon space. (ENT: "Bounty")

Class L planet (2373)Edit

A class L planet

In 2373, Odo and Quark crash landed on this planet. (DS9: "The Ascent")

Class L planet in Rutharian sectorEdit

A class L planet in the Rutharian sector.

The USS Olympia crashed on this Beta Quadrant L-class planet in the Rutharian sector in 2371, when it was returning from its long-term exploratory mission. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")

Lore's planetEdit

Planet housing Lore's Borg base

In 2369, Lore and his rogue Borg utilized a base on the surface of this planet. (TNG: "Descent")

Loque'eque system planetsEdit

A graphic showing the Loque'eque system of origin

The Delphic Expanse system containing the Loque'eque homeworld also contained several other planets (ENT: "Extinction")

Magnesite planetEdit

Enterprise approaches a planet which is rich in magnesite

In December of 2154, Enterprise encountered an Orion trader called Harrad-Sar. He invited an away team from Enterprise to beam aboard his ship, where he told Captain Jonathan Archer of a planet rich in magnesite that his vessel had detected. His ship was incapable of removing the magnesite from beneath the planet's surface, so he requested the help of Enterprise. When the starship proceeded to the planet, it was attacked by an Orion ship. Although Harrad-Sar's claim held true – the planet did contain large quantities of magnesite – he later attacked Enterprise and revealed that his plan had always been to disable the NX-class starship. (ENT: "Bound")

Maquis planetEdit

A Maquis planet

In 2370, Gul Dukat was held captive and tortured on this planet by the Maquis. The Cardassian was later rescued by Commander Benjamin Sisko. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")

Mericor system planetEdit

A planet in the Mericor system

On stardate 45587.9, the USS Denver was hit by a Cardassian gravitic mine while transporting over 500 colonists. the ship then crash landed on one of the planets in the Mericor system after it hit the mine. The USS Enterprise-D later responded to the disaster and provided medical assistance to the survivors. (TNG: "Ethics")

Ocean planet systemEdit

After escaping from a Retellian freighter in 2151, Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker and the Kriosian First Monarch Kaitaama set course for a system containing several planets and moons. Only one of the planets turned out to have an atmosphere. It was mostly covered by water, but there was a chain of swampy islands near the equator. (ENT: "Precious Cargo")

Planet within Delphic Expanse anomaly fieldEdit

the planet
The devastated surface of the planet

In an expanding field of Delphic Expanse anomalies, T'Pol located a planet that had once been inhabited, but now had not a single life form due to being engulfed in the field some time before December 2153. Its location was within a few hundred million kilometers of a point equidistant to five of the Delphic Expanse spheres. (ENT: "Harbinger")

Based on the diameter of the anomaly of seven hundred million kilometers, and assuming that the rate of expansion of "several" (i.e. at least 3) kilometers per second was constant, a quick calculation suggests that the planet was engulfed at the latest about three and a half year before December 2153.


Planet (2368)Edit

A planet in 2368.

After helping treat survivors of the USS Denver and performing an operation on Lieutenant Worf, Doctor Toby Russell was dropped off at this planet by the USS Enterprise-D in 2368. (TNG: "Ethics")

In the script of the episode, the Enterprise-D was in orbit of this planet at the beginning of the episode, too. The planet was identified as Starbase 27. The USS Potemkin (NCC-18253) transported Doctor Russell to the Enterprise-D while the latter was still in orbit of Starbase 27. In the actual episode, the Enterprise is never seen in orbit of the planet at the beginning of the episode and the Starbase is never mentioned, instead, the ships rendezvous in open space. This leaves the possibility that the unnamed planet seen at the end of the episode is Doctor Russells homebase, where the Adelman Neurological Institute is located.


Planet (2374)Edit

A planet in 2374.

The crew of the USS Defiant briefly orbited this planet in order to look for survivors of the USS Honshu including Captain Benjamin Sisko and Gul Dukat. Both were not located on this planet, however. (DS9: "Waltz")

Organian observation planetEdit

Enterprise in orbit of a planet under Organian observation

This uninhabited class M planet had been under observation by Organians for ten millenia. A deadly Silicon-based virus was present on the planet, and the Organians used visitors reaction to the infection as a litmus test to see if visiting species had enough rational inteligence to be ready for First Contact.

Among the visitors to the planet who had been infected with the virus were Cardassian and Klingon crews. The Klingons had visited several years before 2154, and had been killed by their own commander in a shuttlecraft, the remains of which still orbited the planet.

In 2154, the Starfleet vessel Enterprise surveyed the planet. They sent four landing parties to the surface, the last of which got infected with the virus. Enterprise left a Warning beacon in orbit, in order to prevent further infections. (ENT: "Observer Effect")

While leaving the planet, ensign Sato was seen removing a piece of coral-like plant out of her hair, showing a hint as to the vegetation on the planet.


Pre-warp society planetEdit

Planet home to a pre-warp civilization

This planet is home to a pre-warp society with factions in a cold war state.

In 2152 the Enterprise NX-01 visited the planet. Captain Archer and Lieutenant Malcolm Reed were briefly held prisoner here after the authorities discovered a lost communicator and mistook them for enemy infiltrators.

The beverage Allakas malt originates from this planet. (ENT: "The Communicator")

Ringed gas giantEdit

A ringed planet

A system just outside the border of the Klingon Empire had at least five planets, the fifth of which was a ringed gas giant that was the site of a confrontation between the Earth ship Enterprise and the Klingon battle cruiser IKS Bortas in 2152. the planet featured rings with a typical composition of methane ice, isolytic plasma and diamagnetic dust. (ENT: "Judgment")

Presumably this planet was also near Raatooras.


Romulan minefield-planetEdit

An unnamed Minshara-class planet seized by the Star Empire by 2152

In 2152, the Enterprise NX-01 planned to explore an uncharted Minshara class planet. It was uninhabited and its most notable geological feature was a chain of volcanoes spanning an entire hemisphere. After the ship was hit by a mine and two Romulan Birds-of-Prey decloaked, it became clear that the planet was claimed by the Romulan Star Empire. (ENT: "Minefield")

Romulan planetEdit

A Romulan planet

In 2369, the Romulan Warbird IRW Khazara beamed aboard several cargo crates from this planet. The crates contained vice-proconsul M'ret and two of his aides in stasis. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy")

Romulan system planetsEdit

The innermost and the outermost planet in the Romulan system containing Romulus and Remus are unnamed.

"Romulus I" and "Romulus IV" have been popular suggestions (citation needededit), however there is no canon reference to their names.

(Star Trek Nemesis)

Selcundi Drema planetsEdit

Planet in the Selcundi Drema sector

This planet is one of the four uninhabited planets in the Selcundi Drema sector. It is not suitable for colonization due to severe geological activity and is expected end up like Drema V. Several planets were surveyed by the USS Enterprise-D in 2365. (TNG: "Pen Pals")

This planet is presumably Drema I as the depiction fits the mention of Drema I as having "massive volcanic activity".


Silaran Prin's planetEdit

Silaran Prin's planet

Silaran Prin lived on this planet near the Demilitarized Zone until his death in 2373. (DS9: "The Darkness and the Light")

Sluggo's homeworldEdit

This planet was the homeworld of a species resembling the Earth slug and had an atmosphere that was rich in argon. In 2151, the planet was visited by an away team from the NX class Enterprise that included Ensign Hoshi Sato, who took one of the planet's slug-like inhabitants, which she named "Sluggo", with her when she returned to Enterprise. (ENT: "Fight or Flight")

Since Sluggo was found before Enterprise traveled to Archer IV (the first M-class planet to be surveyed by the ship's crew), it is reasonable to assume that the creature's homeworld was not an M-class planet. Given that the creature was from a planet with an argon-rich atmosphere, it is possible that its homeworld was a class H planet.


Sluggo's adoptive homeworldEdit

This planet had an argon-rich atmosphere. Ensign Sato and Denobulan Doctor Phlox from Enterprise visited the planet on May 6, 2151 and transplanted a slug-like creature there. (ENT: "Fight or Flight")

Starbase 6Edit

Planet housing Starbase 6

The class-M world where Starbase 6 is located. (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")

Starbase 73Edit

Planet housing Starbase 73

The class-M world where Starbase 73 is located. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")

Starbase 179Edit

Planet housing Starbase 179

The class-M world where Starbase 179 is located. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")

Starbase 515Edit

Starbase 515

The class-M world where Starbase 515 is located. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

Starbase MontgomeryEdit

Planet housing Starbase Montgomery

The class-M world where Starbase Montgomery is located. (TNG: "The Icarus Factor")

Starfleet Briefing room planetsEdit

The walls of a meeting room at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth featured a number of photographs or paintings depicting planets and sometimes their moons. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Suliban gas giantEdit

The gas giant

In 2151, Enterprise encountered a gas giant while following the warp trail of a Suliban vessel. Under the cyclohexane layer of the planet's atmosphere was an unexpected layer of liquid phosphorus. A Suliban helix composed of many Suliban cell ships was also found on the planet's surface. However, Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer boarded the helix and used a magnetic device to separate the space station. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

Symbiotic lifeform homeworldEdit

The surface of the symbiotic lifeform homeworld (2152)

The planet has a moon or a large neighboring planet. In early 2152, after Enterprise had been infected with a symbiotic lifeform, they were able to find the location of its homeworld with the help of the Kreetassans.

Upon finding the planet, an away team went down to return the lifeform, and its severed tendril that Phlox examined, to the larger creature that took up much of the planet. (ENT: "Vox Sola")

System with shifted orbitsEdit

This system contained at least three planets. One of them was detected to have undergone an orbital shift by Starfleet, taking it between two gas giants. The gas giants influence was expected to superheat the core of the third planet, covering the planet with erupting volcanos in no time. Enterprise was ordered by admiral Forrest to study it. While the planet initially appeared lifeless, the seismic activity unearthed subterranean microbes. (ENT: "Horizon")

Terra Nova system planetsEdit

Terra Nova System

This system, located less then 20 light years from Earth, contained Terra Nova and several other, unnamed, planets. (ENT: "Terra Nova")

Given how Terra Nova was presented as an uniquely close to home example of a class M planet, it can be suspected that the other planets in the system are not Class M.


Trellium mining planetEdit

trellium mining planet

The trellium mining planet was located about a six-week journey inside the Delphic Expanse. Trellium-D was mined there. The atmosphere of the planet was extremely polluted; many of the staff wore respirators and sustained survival on the surface was impossible. Members of thirty-one different species worked in the mines in some capacity.

Enterprise visited this planet in September of 2153 because a freighter captain informed them that he had taken a Xindi there some time ago. Upon arrival, Captain Jonathan Archer and Commander Tucker were forced to provide a half-liter of liquefied platinum to the foreman of the north mine to see the Xindi, a Primate named Kessick.

It turned out to be a trap, however. The miners worked by capturing ships and forcing their crew to work as slaves. Enterprise was barely able to escape, but Kessick died in the attempt. (ENT: "The Xindi")

The planet is unnamed in the episode, but the novelization gives it the name of "Blue."


Uninhabited planetEdit

Enterprise had been exploring this planet for three days in March 2153 when they were forced to recall their three surface science teams to pursue a bounty hunter who had captured their captain. They had also put down a number of crewmen on it for shore leave.

Among the planet's most enjoyable regions were equatorial range, including a north summit with an inspiring view. In the north there was the Rykos shoreline, the southern tip of which was 227 km from the polar island chain. These islands featured a pyroclastic debris field, lava tubes, and the hydrothermal pools of Ren-gham. The planet also featured ravines. However, as Skalaar mentioned these things after learning Archer's name, it is possible he made these features up to earn Archer's trust and be able to kidnap him.

The planet supported life, for example a species of marsupials who's saliva was a natural anti-coagulant. There was also an unusual microbe which was capable of inducing Pon farr in Vulcans. The microbe was also suspected of being more dangerous to Humans then to Vulcans or Denobulans (ENT: "Bounty")


Vintaak system gas giantEdit

A gas giant in the Vintaak system

In the mirror universe, the Vintaak system sported at least one planet, a ringed gas giant with several moons. It was located in Tholian space, and one moon contained a Tholian base. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")

Vulcan monastery planetEdit

P'Jem monastery nearing its 3000th anniversary

This planet, between the neighboring Vulcan and Andorian systems, was the site of the P'Jem monastery.

A nearby ringed planet was visible in the sky of the planet.

The planet was known to the Vulcans since at least the early 1st millennium BC. The construction there of P'Jem, later consecrated to the memory and teachings of Surak, predated the Time of Awakening by over twelve centuries.

By the 22nd century the Vulcan High Command thought to capitalize on the planet's proximity to the Andorian homeworld by installing a massive long-range sensor array there. The ancient monastery provided cover for this spy station.

Certain Andorian factions remained suspicious even after the peace treaty with the Vulcans. Imperial Guard commandos forcibly searched P'Jem twice before the successful 2151 raid led by Thy'lek Shran. Within a year the spy station and its ancient cover had been destroyed. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident", "Shadows of P'Jem")

The planet was, perhaps more importantly, the site of the first association of Andorians and Humans, in the persons of Shran and Jonathan Archer. Their grudging partnership was to play no small part in bringing about the UFP Charter ten years later.

Xindi database planetsEdit

Images of several planets appeared in a database captured by Enterprise. (ENT: "Anomaly")
