A Lunar settlement in the 22nd century as seen from low orbit.
The Lunar colonies mark the first effort of the Human colonization of space and were established in the late 21st century on Earth's moon, Luna.
In the 22nd century, Lunar One colony was the largest of all Lunar colonies. The Orpheus Mining Colony was another settlement on Luna during the 22nd century. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "Demons")
In 2373, the population was about 50 million and primary points of interest on the Moon included Copernicus City, Lunaport, Tranquility Base, Tycho City, New Berlin and Lake Armstrong. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Among the humans born on the Lunar colonies are Beverly Crusher and Dorian Collins. (TNG: "Conundrum"; DS9: "Valiant"). People born or living on the Lunar colonies are often called Lunar schooners by Earth-based Humans. (DS9: "Valiant")
- The Lunar colonies are prominently featured in the opening title for Star Trek: Enterprise.
