Nelvana III
Long-range planetary sensor composite of Nelvana III
Nelvana III is the uninhabited third planet of the Nelvana system, in the Romulan Neutral Zone. Its surface is nothing but barren rock, with no native lifeforms. During the 2360s, the planet was located within attack range of fifteen Federation sectors.
Starfleet was able to perform several scans of the planet, including for artificially-generated power, subspace restriction, gravimetric perturbation, and virtual interferometry and was also looking for reflected pattern return, artificial generated power, EM emissions, microwave enhancement, low level gamma imaging, and background radiation, all with a negative results.
In 2366, Nelvana III was the subject of an elaborate ruse perpetrated by the Romulans to expose Admiral Alidar Jarok as a traitor and to provoke the Federation into violating the Zone.
Through deliberate misinformation, Jarok was led to believe that the Romulans had established a cloaked base on Nelvana III in preparation for a preemptive strike against the Federation. Faced with the prospect of war, Jarok defected to the USS Enterprise-D to warn them of the attack. To enhance the deception, the Romulans placed a probe in orbit of Nelvana III that emitted low-level subspace signals.
However, when the Enterprise-D arrived in orbit, there were no indications of a base at all. The Romulans de-cloaked and revealed the trap, but the Enterprise was able to withdraw thanks to hidden Klingon reinforcements. (TNG: "The Defector")
- Nelvana III was named for the Canada animation studio, Nelvana Limited.
