Benecia Medical Station (TOS DC v1 #1)
Benecia Medical Station (TOS DC v1 #1)

A young Federation colony with only minimal medical facilities in 2268. Dr. Janice Lester used them to hide her life-energy transfer with James T. Kirk.[1] By 2285, the colony’s medical facilities were far more advanced, but were destroyed in a Klingon attack made possible by Excalbian interference in the Organian-enforced peace between the Klingon Empire and the Federation.[2]

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]

Ardana

A Class-M planet in the Mu Leonis System[2] and Federation member, despite its dual system—the privileged upper-class lived in the city of Stratos, considered the finest example of sustained antigravity elevation in the galaxy, while the lower-class Troglytes stayed on the surface, forced to mine zenite. Captain James Kirk helped end years of mistrust bewteen the two in 2268 while retrieving zenite to stop a plague.[1]
