Atrea IV

Atrea IV

Atrea IV is a Class M planet, home of the Atrean race.

In 2370, it was discovered that Atrea IV's molten core was cooling, which was creating major seismic activity around the planet. Atrean scientists estimated that their planet would become uninhabitable in 13 months. The Enterprise-D was sent to assist the government to correct the problems. Officers Data and Geordi LaForge were teamed up with Atrean scientists Dr. Pran Tainer and his wife Dr. Juliana Tainer. They developed a means to reliquify the core using ferroplasmic infusion, which injected heat into the planet to stabilize the core for centuries. (TNG: "Inheritance")
