Next Generation
Asteroid
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]

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)
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]

Arloff IX
Planet where the Earth-bound U.S.S. Charleston NCC-42285 waited to rendezvous with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, delayed after reviving three Americans from the 1990s who had been held in a cryonically frozen state for approximately 375 years.[1]

Arkaria Base
Arkaria Base (TNG-244)
Inhabited planet and the site of a support base for the orbital Remmler Array, where a group of terrorists tried to hijack trilithium resin waste from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D‘s warp drive during a baryon sweep.[1]

Argolis Moon
Argolis Moon (TNG-223)
Argolis Moon Surface (TNG-223)
Small, bluish-brown, cratered moon orbiting the fourth planet of an undesignated star in the Argolis cluster. It has a breathable atmosphere, possibly either Class-M or Class-P. A Borg scout ship crashed into a snow-covered region in 2368.[1]

Argolis Cluster
A cluster of six star systems being charted by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D circa 2368, in a region visited by a Borg scout craft. Of the six, one star was a gravitationally unstable reddish-orange primary with extreme flares and at least four planets. None are habitable except for a moon (possibly Class-P) of the fourth planet. At least one other was a main-sequence star.[1]

Archer IV surface (ENT-04)
Archer IV, which orbited 61 Ursae Majoris,[3] was named for Enterprise NX-01 captain Jonathan Archer.[4] Archer IV was the first M-Class world charted by the famous explorer. Although the planet was uninhabitable throughout the 22nd Century due to toxic pollen in the atmosphere,[2] an antidote to the pollen was discovered early in the 2200’s. Within 60 years, the population of Archer IV numbered more than seven hundred million.[4]
