A painting of Denkir II
Being orbited by at least one moon, Denkir II was the second planet of the Denkir system located in the Alpha Quadrant. (TNG: "The Wounded", display graphic)
A painting of this planet depicted it from the perspective of its moon. This painting was displayed aboard the USS Enterprise-D. The painting was seen in officer quarters and in guest quarters. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "Too Short a Season")
Denkir was listed twice in the tactical display, showing its location between Eminiar and Rigel. This area of space was identified in "The Explored Galaxy" star chart as being between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus which were both identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II" and "Call to Arms" as being located in the Alpha Quadrant.
According to Rick Sternbach, Denkir was a star system he originally came up with for a non-Trek related SF story. A copy of this painting was first seen in Beverly Crusher's quarters in "The Naked Now". It was also seen Jean-Luc Picard's quarters in "Suddenly Human", "Legacy", "Devil's Due", and "Qpid". In William Riker's quarters in "Lonely Among Us", Worf's quarters in "Peak Performance" and "Redemption", and in B.G. Robinson's quarters in "The Outrageous Okona". [1]
