Pollux IV is the fourth planet in the Beta Geminorum system, located, during the 23rd century, on the far reaches of Federation space, 33.7 light years from Sol. It is a Class M world with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, and an approximate age of four billion years. Considered quite ordinary, there was no contact prior to the USS Enterprise's visit there in 2267.
The Enterprise visited the Pollux system on a routine survey mission that year, where it encountered a being who claimed to be the Greek god Apollo. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")
A view of the surface of Pollux IV was depicted on several viewscreens on Deep Space 9's Promenade and Replimat, (DS9: "The Muse") advertising a visit to the "amazing ruins of Pollux IV". (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
Background
Pollux IV was mentioned as a small note on a very large star chart graphic created for TNG: "Conspiracy". It was the image behind the chair in the room where Dexter Remmick was killed. It is probably best not to examine the distance values on that chart very closely, as it portrays Pollux IV as being several star systems away from Beta Geminorum, the star it supposedly orbits. Pollux IV was also seen on a star chart in astrometrics in "Child's Play" and "The Haunting of Deck Twelve".
