Revision as of 01:31, 16 April 2009
Alderaan is a planet located in or near the Ficus sector.
In 2135, HMS New Zealand was on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")
At some point in the 2360s, the starship USS Thomas Paine was assigned to a diplomatic mission to Alderaan, according to a Starfleet report titled Starship Mission Status. (TNG: "Brothers", et al.)
- The Thomas Paine reference was on a computer display that listed the name of the place as "Aldaraan".
On his way to space station Deep Space 9 in 2369, the Bajoran criminal Ibudan chartered a space flight out of Alderaan Spaceport. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
- The "Alderaan Spaceport" reference was on a computer display reviewed by Odo.
Background
The name of this planet originally appeared on an okudagram that appeared on Picard's desk monitor, and was not verbally referenced on screen. It was also a gag in the "A" section of the locations index for reference book "Star Trek Chronology"; listed as, "Never visited by the crew of the Enterprise." A legible version of the okudagram would appear in the reference book, Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission.
The reference to this planet, as well as the wording of the okudagram, is an in-joke. Alderaan is, of course, the adopted homeworld of Star Wars' Princess Leia, who claimed to be on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan when captured by Darth Vader in the opening scene of Star Wars. For more on that planet, see the official Star Wars site.
