Devolin System
Star system in Sector 1607,[1] a.k.a. Glintara Sector,[2] in the Neutral Zone between the Federation and the Romulan Empire, with no planets but rather a large mass of dust and rocks, some as large as moons. The phasing cloak in the area, and a malfunction caused the ship to be left partially phased within the body of Asteroid Gamma 601, one of the Devolin System’s larger rocks. It was discovered twelve years later by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.[1]

Devidia II
Devidia II (TNG-226)
Devidia II Cave (TNG-226)
Class-M planet in the Marrab Sector, home of a species that existed a fraction of a second out of phase with “normal” time and thrived on neural energy stolen from dying lifeforms. Upon visiting Devidia II in 2368, Jean-Luc Picard‘s crew discovered the shapeshifting Devidians were travelling through time to 19th-century Earth to extract Human neural energy from victims of a cholera epidemic. Devidia II had been explored—or at least surveyed—before 2368, since it was known to be the only home of the one-celled microorganism identified as LB-10445.[1]

Dessica II
A Class-M world, once home to an ancient Romulan outpost and governed by a corrupt native government in 2370. Mercenaries once took Capain Picard hostage there in a bar.[1]

Denorios Belt
A charged plasma field in the Bajoran system that hosts the Alpha Quadrant end of the Bajoran wormhole. Though ships had always avoided it, a stranded Kai Taluno first reported odd phenomena there in the 22nd century; five of the nine known Bajoran orbs were found within it over the 10 millennia prior to 2369, and 23 navigation reports of severe local neutrino disturbances were on record. In 2337, some 32 years before the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor, it was also where Constable Odo was found.[1] An extremely rare and violent plasma disruption in the belt on Stardate 47182.1 forced the evacuation of Deep Space Nine for all but a skeleton crew, and a Trill named Verad tried to hijack the Dax symbiont.[2]

Denius III
Site of an archaeological dig where Captain Donald Varley of the U.S.S. Yamato NCC-71807 picked up a mysterious artifact that led him to the Iconian homeworld and eventually his ship’s doom.[1]

Deneva surface (TOS-29)
M-class planet considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in the galaxy, which was colonized by humans in the 22nd century,[5] and later became a Federation world.[8] It was used as a freighting line base in the region.[1] Deneva, the third planet orbiting Kappa Fornacis in the Beta Quadrant,[4] served as a key supply station for many Earth cargo ships, including the E.C.S. Horizon,[5] for at least two centuries.[2] Freighters would make regular trips from Deneva carrying supplies to the nearby asteroid belt for the miners stationed there, and bringing cargo out. Montgomery Scott was an engineering advisor on a couple of those freighter runs.[1]

Bandi City (TNG-101-102)
Bandi City (TNG-101-102)
Class M planet and site of Farpoint Station, built and offered by the native humanoids, the Bandi, as a starbase for the United Federation of Planets. Its interior heat provided geothermal energy tapped as a power source, but not enough to have helped build the station as quickly as it had been.[2] It was known as an R&R spot for Starfleet personnel for more than a century,[1] but could still be described as being on the edge of the great unexplored part of the galaxy in 2363.[2]

Delta Vega (40 Eridani A IIIa)
T’Khut & Delta Vega from Vulcan surface (ST-01)
Delta Vega (ST-11)
Delta Vega surface (ST-11)
Class-M[3] moon of T’Khut, the third planet in the 40 Eridani trinary system, which shared an orbit around 40 Eridani A with its sister planet, Vulcan.[1, 2]
ST11 Timeline
On Stardate 2258.42, James T. Kirk was left on the moon near Starfleet Outpost Hunter[4] by Spock, the acting captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. While on the surface, Kirk encountered both Montgomery Scott, who was assigned to the station, and Spock (Prime), who had been marooned there by Nero.[3]
This new Delta Vega’s location within the Vulcan system is conjectural, but given the size of Vulcan in Spock (Prime)’s memories, and the ease and speed with which the Enterprise was able to drop Kirk off at Delta Vega (despite the obvious damage to the ship’s warp drive from the collision with the Mayflower‘s saucer wreckage), the only logical location for the planet would be the previously-unnamed moon of Vulcan’s sister world, T’Khut.

Delphic Expanse
A region of space nearly 2000 light years across. Sometimes likened to Earth‘s “Bermuda Triangle,” the Expanse was home to many strange anomalies and dangerous species—sometimes even the laws of physics didn’t apply. Ships had been known to return from the Expanse with their crews’ bodies anatomically inverted… if they returned at all. In 2153, Captain Archer and the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 were dispatched on a mission to the Expanse to locate a then-mysterious alien race known as the Xindi, after they were determined to be responsible for a devastating attack upon Earth.[1]

Delphi Ardu System
Delphi Ardu (TNG-107)
Delphi Ardu Surface (TNG-107)
Name of a star system with 11 planets, unexplored as of 2363, one of which became the site of the first direct Federation–Ferengi contact initiated by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D on Stardate 41386.4. Class-M but with no sign of native lifeforms, according to previous long-range scans, it was found to be one of several defensive outpost planets of the long-extinct Tkon Empire. Its force field, energy-draining weapon, and automated “guardian” were, amazingly, still functional.[1]
