Background information[]

This planet was only mentioned in dialogue.

Although never explicitly stated, the planet's name seems to imply it was located in the Canopus system. In the script of "Where No Man Has Gone Before", this planet was referred to as "a Canopus planet", not "the Canopus planet".

This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of its star system as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "An Obol for Charon".

Apocrypha[]

According to Star Trek: Starship Creator bios, Lieutenant Nara, seen in TNG: "Eye of the Beholder", was from the Canopus Planet.
