History

Historical archive, Starfleet (production resource) — Sherman's Planet was mentioned in an historical archive

The region of space, in which Sherman's Planet was located, was first mapped by astronomer John Burke in 2067. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", display graphic)

In the alternate 2259, before a colony could be founded on this planet, there was a dispute about the Organian Peace Treaty. This event was reported in a news ticker, which was in a collection of graphics and video media that were seen on a powerwall in the offices of Christopher Pike and Alexander Marcus at Starfleet Headquarters. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

The ticker can be seen in the video "Star Trek: Into Darkness" - User Interface VFX at vimeo.com. [1]

Following the Federation-Klingon War in 2267, and per terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, ownership of Sherman's Planet could be assumed by the side that could most effectively develop it. The Federation's intentions for Sherman's Planet were to use it to cultivate quadrotriticale, a grain well adapted to the planet's climate. After the quadrotriticale was poisoned on Deep Space Station K-7, Starfleet diverted a freighter laded down with this grain to Sherman's Planet. The grain would be delivered a few weeks later than anticipated. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")

The Federation succeeded in best developing Sherman's Planet. However, by 2269, the planet had been struck by famine. On Stardate 5392.4, the USS Enterprise, under Captain James T. Kirk, was assigned to escort two robot ships hauling an improved grain, quintotriticale, to the planet to alleviate the plight. (TAS: "More Tribbles, More Troubles")

In 2328, this was home to the Sherman's Planet Spaceport. (TNG-R: "Inheritance")

In 2369, this planet was listed on the chart USS Enterprise Personnel Database, which was displayed on a PADD used by Captain Jean-Luc Picard on aboard the Enterprise-D. (TNG: "The Chase", okudagram)

In 2371, the location of Sherman's Planet was labeled in the star chart Data and Picard were studying in stellar cartography on the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek Generations, okudagram)

Appendices

Background information

According to his book The Trouble with Tribbles, Sherman's Planet was named for Holly Sherman, a friend and college girlfriend of the episode's writer, David Gerrold.

According to Star Trek Maps (chart D), Sherman's Planet had six small moons called First, Second, Show, Last, Speed and Tiny one.

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 53, 57, 62, "United Federation of Planets I") and the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 30-31; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), Sherman's Planet (Klingonese, "Sermanyu'q") (FGC-24187 V) was located in the Beta Quadrant. The planet was a M-class planet. The official name for the planet's government was the Sherman's Planet Joint Administrative Territory. The two capitals of this planet were Port Emily (Federation) and Ka'Hat (Klingon). There were 98.0 million humans and 116.2 million Klingons living on this world in the late 24th century. This planet was on a disputed border with the UFP (2152-2267), and was settled according to the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty in 2267. In 2378, Sherman's Planet was listed as a Federation member. The primary FGC-24187 was a G-class star. According to a map of the Klingon Empire – prepared by the Scribe K'Tark for the Klingon High Council in the Year of Kahless 893 (2366} – Sherman's Planet was identified as a Klingon planet. This claim was propagandistic, as the Empire claimed many border systems and planets. This often put the Empire at odds with the Federation.

Apocrypha

This planet was also mentioned in several novels and short-stories, including Pawns and Symbols, A Singular Destiny, as well as in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers-series.

In Star Trek Online, Deep Space K-7 is in orbit around Sherman's Planet.
