Atlec

One of the twin worlds of Madena in the Omega Sagitta System. Its space fleet has only interplanetary, laser-armed ships, and its officers wear gray uniforms. Atlec and neighboring Straleb were colonized approximately 200 years ago by humanoids, and were bound by treaty in a peaceful but testy relationship. A marriage of the children of the two worlds’ leaders in 2264 improved the relationship between the planets.[1]

Atifs IV

Homeworld of a people who give thanks somewhat similarly to the Betazoids with their gong, or the Ooolans of Marejaretus VI with their stone-knocking.[1]

Asteroid Field

Asteroid Field (TNG-154)
Asteroid Field (TNG-154)

Asteroids which lie within interstellar space, rather than orbiting a star within the system. Brull‘s direct course from Gamma Hromi II to Chorgan‘s base planet was along a heading of 343-mark-72, but Wesley Crusher tactfully suggested an alternate route to miss an asteroid field along that line.[1] In the Delta Quadrant, one field surveyed a month prior to stardate 49373 yielded a form of dilithium more stable at much higher high warp frequencies than the norm, allowing Lt. Paris to break the Warp 10 barrier.[2]

Asteroid Belt

Region where many asteroids are found, typically orbiting a star or other large gravity source. One asteroid belt in an unspecified system was where the U.S.S. Okinawa, under Captain Leyton, pursued three Tzenkethi raiders.[1] The Kar-telos system in the Gamma Quadrant also included one.[2] The asteroid belt orbiting Sol between Mars and Jupiter was a common site for Academy flight training.[3]

Asteroid, Badlands

A body hidden among the plasma storms of the Badlands, large enough to be Class-M despite its rogue status outside a star system. It was the destination of the Maquis while abducting Gul Dukat.[1]

Asteroid

Asteroid (TOS-58)
Asteroid (TOS-58)

Small celestial body composed of rock and metal, typically much smaller than a planet, often irregularly shaped. Asteroids often occurred in orbital belts within a star system, sometimes the debris remaining from the formation of that system, other times the fragments remaining from the disintegration of a planet. Larger asteroids were sometimes called planetoids.

In 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 attempted to divert an asteroid that was on a collision course with an inhabited planet.[1] A Type-C asteroid crashed into an unpopulated continent of Penthara IV in 2367, threatening an ecological disaster until the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-170-D helped dispel its dust cloud.[2] Another asteroid from the Pelloris Field threatened Tessen III with the same type of destruction in 2368 before it was vaporized by the same starship. Its nitrium alloy core prevented a tractor beam lock, and it was undamaged when hit by photon torpedoes. It was later discovered to be the home of metal parasites.[3]

Aschelan V

A Cardassian fuel depot site on the border near the Badlands, it was Dreadnought‘s revamped target from the Maquis—although it was intercepted first by the Caretaker‘s displacement wave in 2370.[1]

Arvada III

Site of a tragic disaster where a young Beverly Crusher and her grandmother, Felisa Howard, were two of the few surviving colonists. The elder woman’s knowledge of medicinal roots saved them when medical ships were delayed.[1]

Arneb

Type-G Star (STSC)
Type-G Star (STSC)

A star that was visible to the unaided human eye from a point somewhere between ‘audet IX and Rachelis. It was one of three objects Wesley Crusher matter-of-factly told Guinan he saw as he stared out Ten-Forward’s observation window. Arneb, a G-Type star like Sol, was located 1200 light years from Earth, in the constellation Lepus, as viewed from that planet.[1]

Armus IX

An otherwise undescribed planet where the indigenous—or at least ceremonial—dress was composed of feathers. William Riker went there some time prior to 2263.[1]
