Orion Colonies

Colony worlds in the Pi 3 Orionis System[2] under the influence of the Orions. Captain Pike considered leaving Starfleet and settling there after an incident on Rigel VII.[1]

Neptune

Neptune, a blue-hued Class-J world,[2] was the eighth planet in the Sol System. The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer.[1] Neptune was 49,528 kilometers in diameter and was located nearly 4.5 billion kilometers from Sol. Neptune’s surface temperature was -225°C, and the planet had a rotation period of 0.67 days. Neptune’s year was equal to 164.8 Earth years, and the planet had a gravity of 1.19 g. Neptune had eight moons, including Triton and Nereid.[2]

Earth (ENT-78)

Vulcan designation for a planet suitable for humanoid life. Upon encountering a new planet in 2151, T’Pol suggested launching automated probes to the surface to ascertain whether or not it was Minshara-class.[2] Presumably, the term was the origin for the later Class-M designation.[1]

Sol System (TOS-00)

Mercury was the innermost planet in the Sol System. The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer.[1] Mercury, a Class-B planet, was 4878 kilometers in diameter, and had surface temperatures ranging from -180°C to 430°C. Located 57,910,000 kilometers from Sol, Mercury took only 87.97 days to complete its orbit; one rotation was equal to 58.7 Earth days, and its gravity was 0.38 g. Mercury had no moons.[2]

Mars (STSC)

Mars was the fourth planet in the Sol System. The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1] Mars was colonized by Humans in 2103.[3] By 2155, terraforming efforts had brought the planet’s original Class-K atmosphere[6] to the verge of breathability.[4] By the 24th century, Mars had become a Class-M planet.[5] Mars had a diameter of 6790 kilometers and took 24 hours 37 minutes to complete one rotation; gravity was 0.38 g. Mars was located 227,940,000 kilometers from Sol and took 686.9 days to complete one revolution around the star. Mars had two asteroidal moons, Phobos and Deimos.[6] Orbital facilities included the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.[2]

Luna (STSC)

Luna, commonly known simply as “the Moon,” was a Class-D world orbiting Earth.[4] By the late 24th century, more than 50 million people lived on the Moon.[3] The Talosians viewed several images about Earth’s Moon and programs to study and explore it while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1] The Copernicus Ship Yards were located in orbit, with office facilities on the surface; the U.S.S. Hathaway NCC-2593 was built there.[2] Other points of interest on the Moon included Tranquility Base, where Apollo 11 landed in July 1969; as well as Lake Armstrong and New Berlin.[3] See also: Apollo program, Armstrong, Neil, Kennedy, John F., Lunar probe, Ranger probe.

Class-M. Earth is the third planet in the Sol System[1] in Sector 001[7] and homeworld of Humans. In 2254, 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.[1] Earth became one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets in 2161,[15] following the Romulan War,[6] and served as that body’s capital.[5] Starfleet Command and Starfleet Academy were based in San Francisco,[2, 3] while the offices of the Federation President[9] and the Federation Council chamber were located in Paris.[22] The planet hosted several advanced orbital habitats,[2] Starfleet spacedocks,[4] and satellite networks, including Federation communications networks.[12]

Planet, Class-N

Reducing. Age ranged from 3-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 15,000 km. Typically located in the Ecosphere of a planetary system. High surface temperatures due to greenhouse effect; water existed only as vapor. Atmosphere was extremely dense, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide and sulfides. No known native life forms.[1]
