Revision as of 20:51, 12 March 2016

Izar was the place from which Starfleet Captain Garth was considered to have hailed. He was known as "Garth of Izar" during the 2260s. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 32 & 36) and the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the M-class planet Izar was the third planet in the Izar (Epsilon Boötis) star system, located in the Alpha Quadrant. The primary of this system was a K-class star.

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 32), in 2183, after the first manned landing by the SS Horizon, an Earth colony was founed on this planet. Within months of being founded, the Izar colony was admitted to the United Federation of Planets. The dominant species were Humans. In 2370, the census counted 185 million living on this planet. The planetary capital was New Seattle. Major attractions on this planet included the Starfleet Tactical School and the Izar Institute of Meteorology. This world was a stop on the major space lanes of the late 24th century.

-== Background ==
-Izar was most likely intended to be the Izar [[star system]], also known as Epsilon Bootis.  It is a [[Binary star system|binary]] [[star]] system ([[spectral class]]es K0II-III and A2V) about 200 [[light year]]s away from [[Sol]].  If so, he would have either been born on or emigrated to one of the planets of that system.
+==External links==
-The ''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]'' suggest that the inhabited planet is Epsilon Bootis III.

-Izar could also be a [[planet]], nation, city, or town – the episode does not permit any conclusions in that regard.  However, in {{e|Metamorphosis}}, [[Zefram Cochrane]] is said to be "of [[Alpha Centauri]]", which is clearly meant as a star system.  Since Cochrane was born on [[Earth]], he must have emigrated there at some point and considered it his home; Garth may have done likewise from his birthplace (which was probably not Earth, as he refers to Humans as "Earth people"). Izar may also be a colony of Earth, as Garth appeared to be human (in the novels, this connection is made more clear, with Izar clearly a human colony).
