Uranus

Sol System (TOS-00)
Sol System (TOS-00)

Uranus, a Class-J gas giant,[2] was the seventh planet in the Sol System.[1] Uranus had a diameter of 51,118 kilometers and its rotational period was just over 17 hours; it had a gravity of 1.15 g and a cloudtop temperature of -214°C. Uranus was located 2.8 billion kilometers from Sol, and it took 84 Earth years to complete one rotation. Uranus had 18 moons, including Ariel.[2] The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System while accessing the USS Enterprise‘s computer.[1]

The fourth planet in the Talos Star Group and homeworld of the Talosians, Talos IV, a Class-M world, had an Oxygen-Nitrogen atmosphere that, according to U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 science officer Lieutenant Spock, was “[h]eavy with inert elements, but well within safety limits; Gravity 0.9 g; barren surface with little vegetation.” One blue-leafed plant caused a high-pitched humming noise from its vibrations, which had a pleasant effect on humanoids when touched, even eliciting a smile from Spock. According to Captain Pike, Earth was “in the stellar group at the other end of this galaxy.” The planet’s surface was decimated “thousands of centuries ago,” according to Vina, in a nuclear war among the Talosians, who all but destroyed themselves in the process.[1]

No ships or Earth colonies had traveled as far out as the Talos Star Group when the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 arrived there[1] in 2254,[2] so it had never been explored. At least one system in the group was superficially similar to the Sol System, with eleven planets; the fourth was determined to be Class-M. According to Enterprise Captain Pike, Earth was in “the stellar group at the other end of this galaxy.”[1]

Star system located in Sector 001, in the Alpha Quadrant. The parent star, Sol, was Type-G and was orbited by eight planets (though Pluto frequently switched between being considered a planet and a planetoid),[2] including Earth, and was commonly known as the Sun. The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System and many images of Earth’s history while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1]

Located in California on Earth. Many key Starfleet facilities were located within the city, including Starfleet Academy[3] and Starfleet Command,[2], as well as the offices of the San Francisco Fleet Yards.[1] Jonathan Archer was raised in San Francisco.[6]

Lieutenant Commander Data was transported from Devidia II in 2368 to San Francisco in 1893 while pursuing a group of Devidians who were traveling through time.[4] Cholera had broken out in the city at this time, and the Devidians were using it as to cover up the fact that they were harvesting Human neural energy as a food source. Guinan and Samuel “Mark Twain” Clemens lived in San Francisco in 1893, and they encountered Data and Jean-Luc Picard, who had followed Data back in time.[5]

Rigel VII, a Class-M planet,[1] was the seventh planet in the Beta Orionis System.[2] Two weeks before the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 encountered the Talosians[1] in 2254,[2] the ship was present during an incident on Rigel VII that killed three members of the crew and injured seven others. Captain Christopher Pike fought a Kaylar in a castle on the planet’s surface.[1]

Captain Pike considered leaving Starfleet and settling on Regulus after an incident on Rigel VII in 2254.[1]

Located within the Marrat Nebula, Pharos was a source of vast deposits of extremely pure dilithium, which threatened to spark an interstellar war. Rather than let the dilithium fall into the hands of the Klingons, Captain Pike set off a chain reaction beneath the planet’s surface that destroyed the dilithium.[1]
