Unnamed moons

The following is a list of unnamed moons.

Alpha and Beta Quadrants

892-IV moons

892-IV and two moons

The planet 892-IV was observed to have two moonlike objects nearby. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")

Thee bodies could only be seen in the remastered version of the episode.

Andevian II moons

This planet had at least four moons. In 2369, Lwaxana Troi had a holo-program of dawn on this moon. She had reserved with Quark a suite for her and Odo where they would experience dawn on this moon while sharing a picnic. (DS9: "The Forsaken")

Archer IV moons

Two moons in the Archer IV sky.

Archer IV was observed to have at least two moons. (ENT: "Strange New World")

Argolis Cluster moon

A moon in the Argolis Cluster.

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D conducted a survey of the Argolis Cluster's star systems as a possible prelude to Federation colonization. During the survey, it discovered a crashed Borg scout ship on the moon of the fourth planet of one of the six star systems in the Argolis Cluster with one surviving drone, who would later be known as Hugh. (TNG: "I Borg")

Andorian gas giant moon

The Unnamed gas giant that hosted Andoria also had at least one other moon. (ENT: "The Aenar")

Arkonian planet's moons

Arkonian gas giant and three of its moons

An unnamed gas giant annexed by the Arkonians had 62 moons, some of which were partially habitable. (ENT: "Dawn")

To portray the progressively hot surface of one of these moons, the set was made very bright but not hot. "It's a big room but they were only lighting a specific spot," explained Tucker actor Connor Trinneer. (Star Trek Monthly issue 110, p. 20)

Azati Prime system moons

The system containing the planet Azati Prime had several lunar outposts and at least two moons. The planet was observed to have one moonlike object nearby.

Furthermore, the planetoid further out in the system also had a moon, which contained a monitoring station manned by three Xindi. (TOS: "Azati Prime")

Given the way the moon was brought up without explanation very abruptly and it's surface had a similar texture as the plantoid Enterprise had been shown orbiting earlier, a Homeric nod might be suspected: the writers mistakingly refering to the same body both as a planetoid and later as a moon.

Bajor moons

Aside from Derna and Jeraddo, Bajor had at least three more moons. (DS9: "The Nagus", "Progress")

Bajor VII third moon

In 2370, a shuttlepod was lost somewhere in the vicinity of this moon of Bajor VII. (DS9: "Whispers")

Bajor VIII second moon

The second moon of Bajor VIII

In 2369, Bajoran terrorist Tahna Los, aboard the runabout USS Yangtzee Kiang, rendezvoused with Lursa and B'Etor's Bird-of-Prey near the lower moon of Bajor VIII to receive a quantity of bilitrium explosive. The USS Ganges, monitoring the exchange from behind the second moon, attempted to intercept him, but Tahna threatened to detonate the bomb in low orbit and wipe out the colonies on the surface. The Ganges was forced to allow him to head towards the Bajoran wormhole. (DS9: "Past Prologue")

Barkon IV moon

The moon of Barkon IV

Barkon IV had at least one moon. (TNG: "Thine Own Self")

Beta Lyrae system moon

A planet with a moon and a ring system in the Beta Lyrae system

An unnamed planet in the Beta Lyrae system had what appeared to be a moon. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")

Chin'toka system moon

Small moon

This small moon orbiting one of the class M worlds in the chin'toka system was found to harbor a subspace power generator during the First Battle of Chin'toka. It was subsequently attacked and destroyed. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

Blue planet moons

Unnamed Class M moon

An unnamed Class M moon with violent plasma storms.

In 2370, a shuttle carrying Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Voval crash landed on the moon. When Picard detected another structure on the surface, he went to investigate, finding the ruins of a Terellian freighter and one survivor named "Anna". (TNG: "Liaisons")

Daled IV moon

A moon of Daled IV

Daled IV has at least three moons, and its third moon is inhabited and similar to Earth's moon Luna. (TNG: "The Dauphin")

Deinonychus VII moon

Sun and moon of Deinonychus VII.

This moon was orbiting Deinonychus VII. (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas")

Delos system moon

A moon and the planet Ornara

This moon was part of the Delos system and orbited the planet Ornara. (TNG: "Symbiosis")

Eden moons

The planet identified as Eden by doctor Sevrin appeared to have at least two close companions. (TOS: "The Way to Eden")

These bodies were only visible in the remastered version of the episode.

Galorndon Core moon

A moon of Galorndon Core

Galorndon Core had at least one moon. (TNG: "Unification II")

Galorndon Core and its moon were a re-use of Peliar Zel II and its Alpha moon from TNG: "The Host".

Gas giant moon

A moon orbiting a gas giant.

This moon orbited a gas giant in the Badlands. In 2371, Major Kira Nerys and Odo landed on this moon to search for a crash-landed Peregrine class courier ship. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")

Golana moons

A picture of a Golana landscape with two moons

Golana was depicted as having two moons. (DS9: "Time's Orphan")

The moons were not seen in the outdoor scenes in the episode, but rather in three different pictures of the planet created by Molly.

Haven moon

A moon of Haven

Haven had at least one moon. (TNG: "Haven")

Holberg 917G companions

Near the planet Holberg 917G in the Omega system, at least two close companions, possibly moons, could be seen. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")

It was never explicitly said that is possible that Holberg 917 was a planet, therefore it could theoretically be a moon of one of these bodies. In the original episode, just one companion can be seen, both in orbit and on the surface. The matte painting of the surface was a reuse of the Kalar fortress on Rigel VII.

Jupiter moons

The planet Jupiter had many moons, including Io and Ganymede.

After The Doctor transferred himself from the Delta Quadrant to Jupiter Station to treat Doctor Lewis Zimmerman for an ailment, the ungrateful Dr. Zimmerman congratulated him and recommended that during his visit he tour "Jupiter's third moon," noting that he heard the lava flows on it are lovely during that particular time of year. (VOY: "Life Line")

Zimmerman's statement is somewhat unclear. He may have been referring to Ganymede, the third Galilean moon, rather than Amalthea, Jupiter's actual third moon, although Io (Jupiter's first moon) is the only (currently known) moon of Jupiter to display active volcanism.

Kantare planet moon

The Unnamed planet which Enterprise visited in 2151 to salvage the remains of a Kantare supply ship had at least one moon. (ENT: "Oasis")

Mab-Bu VI moon

The planet and its moon

moon surface

The gas giant Mab-Bu VI had one unnamed moon. The moon could only barely be considered class M and was constantly swept by ionic cyclones and electromagnetic storms. The ground cover was all non-porous rock which made a survival for a long time on the moon very unlikely.

During the 19th century, hundreds of convicted criminals from Ux-Mal were imprisoned on the moon, their consciousnesses detached from their physical bodies and set adrift in the moon's constant storms.

In 2167, the criminals attempted to escape aboard the Federation starship USS Essex. However, the starship became trapped in the electromagnetic currents in the moon's atmosphere and was destroyed.

The criminals tried to escape again in 2368, when the USS Enterprise-D arrived to investigate the distress call from the Essex. They inhabited the bodies of Data, Deanna Troi, and Miles O'Brien, claiming to be the disembodied minds of Essex crew members. They took the ship under their control and ordered to assume a polar orbit of the southern polar region, where the other members of their species were located. Their true identities were uncovered and the criminals were expelled before they could bring aboard the rest of their number. (TNG: "Power Play")

Matalas Prime moons

Matalas Prime had several ringed moons. (ENT: "Dawn")

Maxia Zeta IV

The Maxia Zeta system was known to have at least two moons. (TNG: "The Battle")

This was not stated or shown, but comes from the Captain's log entries of the USS Stargazer seen in the episode.

Nimbus and moons

Nimbus III could be observed to have at least two moons. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Omicron Theta moons

Omicron Theta had at least two moons. (TNG: "Datalore")

Pentarus III moon

A moon of Pentarus III

Next to Lambda Paz, Pentarus III had at least one more moon. (TNG: "Final Mission")

Pernaia Prime moon

An outpost on Pernaia Prime's moon

Pernaia Prime had a single frozen but life-supporting moon. It was about 100 light years from Earth. In 2152, the moon supported a settlement. (ENT: "The Seventh")

In the final draft script of "The Seventh", this moon was described as "a small, irregularly-shaped moon with a dense atmosphere."

Rigel VII moon

File:RigelVII-Holberg917G fortress.jpg

Rigel VII sky.

In the sky of Rigel VII, two bodies could be seen. The song Moon over Rigel VII seemed to imply that at least one of them was a moon. The other body, more distant than the moon, was another planet in the Rigel System. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part II", Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

Risa moons

Risa was known to have at least two moons. (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights")

A deleted scene from "Fallen Hero" established that there were three.

Romulus or Remus moon(s)

Either Romulus or Remus seems to have had at least one moon.

The map of the Romulan system seen in Star Trek Nemesis does not depict moons around any of it's four planets. However, TNG: "The Defector" has a scene showing two bodies in the Romulan sky, one of which might be Remus, which would make the other a moon of either Romulus or Remus. Alternatively, both might be moons. ENT: "The Aenar" also shows an object close to Romulus, the texture of which doesn't seem to correspond with Remus. Note that despite the perspective, this body could be quite small.

A moon in Tandaran space was the location of Detention Complex 26 in the 2150s. The Niburon colonies were nearby, outside the border of Tandaran space.

In circa 2151, a revolt led by Captain Jonathan Archer allowed all eighty-nine Suliban prisoners at the complex to escape. (ENT: "Detained")

The Tandaran moon was described, in the final draft script of "Detained", as being twenty hours' travel time from the edge of Tandaran space.

Visually, the Tandaran moon was a reuse of a planet from ENT: "Fight or Flight".

Delta Quadrant

Banea moon

In 2371, a Federation shuttlecraft piloted by Tom Paris was launched from the USS Voyager in the vicinity of this sole moon of Banea. Captain Kathryn Janeway chose this method for she didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Numiri and the Baneans. The smaller ship wouldn't be as easily detected as its mother ship. Paris hid behind the "limb of the moon" before making a break for Banea. By the time the shuttle was detected on the Numiri sensors, it was in the planet's defense perimeter. (VOY: "Ex Post Facto")

Class 6 gas giant moons

In 2370, Chief Miles O'Brien hid his runabout behind one of the seven moons of Parada IV in order to avoid detection by another Starfleet runabout. (DS9: "Whispers")

Penal moon

The penal moon

A prison moon designed to contain the Ennis and Nol-Ennis.

In 2369, the crew of the Starfleet runabout USS Yangtzee Kiang visited a moon that was determined to be the source of a narrow band subspace signal. It was orbited by a network of artificial satellites.

The moon was discovered to be a prison on which artificial microbes kept the prisoners forever alive to wage war with one another. These microbes resurrected Kai Opaka, but forced her to remain on the moon or die. Accepting her new situation as the will of the Prophets, Opaka remained behind. She hoped to teach the warring prisoners peace. (DS9: "Battle Lines")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 75, the star system in which this moon was located had a Class M primary. This primary had a magnitude of +7, which was 1/10 as bright as Sol. The moon was quarantined.
