Wrigley's Pleasure Planet was an inhabited planet in the Alpha Quadrant. This planet was frequented by Starfleet personnel in the mid-23rd century.
Crewman Darnell compared Nancy Crater to a girl he met on Wrigley's Planet, before being rebuked by Doctor McCoy. Neither realized "Nancy" was the M-113 creature in disguise; they were each seeing separate illusions of a woman's appearance. (TOS: "The Man Trap")
Wrigley's Pleasure Planet was considered as a location for shore leave in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Two Days and Two Nights", though it was decided that it sounded too Human and too well-known for what was supposed to be a relatively distant region, so it was replaced in the story with Risa. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 143, p. 31) File:Star-chart alpha-beta quadrant.jpg Prior to 2290, exploration by Federation starships was largely confined to the Alpha Quadrant. These ships, slow by 24th century standards, were charting a quadrant that was largely unexplored. Ships, such as the USS Enterprise, became renowned for their discoveries. By the mid-24th century, the Federation had expanded into areas charted by these ships. For exploration into the Beta Quadrant, ships had to leave the comfort of Federation space and travel into the unknown.(Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice"; VOY: "Flashback") The state of exploration in the late 23rd century was depicted in the Federation star chart "The Explored Galaxy". Many locations discovered or known to the Enterprise and her crew were located between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus. Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in this quadrant. The chart, first seen chronologically in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game", and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
