Planet Q was an inhabited planet.
Prior to stardate 2817, an Earth colony was established on this planet. The colonies on Cygnia Minor and Benecia were located near this planet.
In 2266, Doctor Thomas Leighton, an old friend of Captain James Kirk, sent a signal to the 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 the Executioner.
