Changes: Planet Q

Revision as of 16:45, 11 October 2015

Planet Q was an inhabited planet and the location of a Federation colony. Cygnia Minor was located near this planet.

As part of the Galactic Cultural Exchange Project, the Karidian Company of Players performed an Arcturian version of Macbeth on Planet Q in 2266. At that time, Doctor Thomas Leighton, a resident of Planet Q and old friend of Captain James Kirk, sent a signal to the USS Enterprise, informing Kirk that he had discovered an extraordinary new synthetic food, which would end the threat of famine on nearby Cygnia Minor. It was soon discovered, however, that Leighton had lied about the discovery in order to lure the Enterprise to Planet Q to convince Kirk that he had found Kodos. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")

In 2328, this was a point of embarkation for passengers traveling to Tarsas IV via commerical transport. Lolita Fatjo traveled there on the SS Manoa, Jimmy Berndt traveled on the SS Kogin, and J.P. Farrell and Carl Banks traveled on the SS Wisconsin. (TNG-R: "Inheritance", okudagram)

According to Star Trek: Star Charts, in 2378, Planet Q was a Federation member. ("United Federation of Planets I") The Planet Q system was left unnamed. The system was located in or near Federation space, and was a single star system. The primary was a F-class star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol. ("United Federation of Planets III")
