Next Generation

Benzar

Homeworld of the Benzite race, a friendly yet independent world with treaty ties to the Federation. One native, Ensign Mendon, served on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D as part of an exchange program.[2] Another, Mordock, became the first of his race to be admitted to Starfleet Academy; he gained entry over Wesley Crusher.[1]

Barzan II

Barzan II (TNG-156)
Barzan II (TNG-156)

An independent Alpha Quadrant planet, mint green in appearance with thick cloud cover, that is home to a poor but proud race whose hopes for progress based on a nearby wormhole were dashed in 2365 when it was discovered to be unstable. The planet was not Class-M; its atmosphere was not hospitable to most other races and its humanoid natives were required to use breathers when off-planet, somewhat like the Benzites.[1]

Barkon IV

Homeworld to a medieval-level culture ruled by Village Elders and a magistrate. It had a Class-D moon. A downed radioactive probe was retrieved by Data, who suffered temporary memory loss on the mission but cured the inhabitants’ resulting radiation sickness.[1]

Atrea IV

This planet’s cooling core magma was reheated by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D while working with its native scientist, Dr. Pran Tainer, and his wife, Juliana, onetime wife of Dr. Soong and co-creator of Data.[1]

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]

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]
