Pluto

A Class-C planetoid,[1] Pluto alternated between being considered a planet and a planetoid ever since its discovery in the mid-20th century:[5] in 1996, Pluto was depicted as the ninth planet in the Sol System on a poster in Rain Robinson‘s office at Griffith Observatory;[3] in 2367, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computers showed a map to Nomad, depicting Pluto as the ninth planet in the system.[1] In 2292, the maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B was planned as “a quick run around the block,” taking the ship from Earth, out past Pluto, then back to the inner system; a distress call from the S.S. Lakul, however, necessitated a change of plans.[2] Pluto had a diameter of 2300 kilometers, a surface temperature of -236°C, a rotation of 6390 days, and gravity of 0.07 g. Located 5.9 billion kilometers from Sol, it took 248.5 Earth years to complete one orbit. Pluto had one moon, Charon, which was nearly as large as Pluto itself.[4] In the EU timeline, Pluto was destroyed during a Borg invasion of the Sol System in 2381.[5]

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]

Home of U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Captain Christopher Pike, who described it as a “nice little town” surrounded by fifty miles of parkland, though it was once a desert, with “flowing sand, [and] cactus.”[1]

Minshara Class

Earth (ENT-78)
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]

Mercury

Sol System (TOS-00)
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]

Maluria

Malurian system sterilized (TOS-37)
Malurian system sterilized (TOS-37)

The Malurians, a warp-capable species that in 2151 secretly mined the Akaali homeworld for veridium,[2] came from this Beta Quadrant world, which orbited the star Epsilon Fornacis and was located approximately 47.5 light years from Earth.[3] In 2267, the planet was cleansed of all life by Nomad,[1] nearly driving the Malurians into extinction.[4]

Luna

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.

Great Barrier

The Great Barrier was an energy field that was distinct from, but related to, the Galactic Barrier. It surrounded a spherical region approximately 15,000 light-years in diamater at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Great Barrier was first traversed in 2287, but the galactic core remained largely unexplored.[1, 2]
