Garadius IV was the inhabited fourth planet in the Garadius system.
In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D was on the way to this planet, when the ship helped a disabled Romulan science ship. After finishing the repairs of the science ship, the Enterprise received a message stating that the diplomatic situation on Garadius IV was deteriorating, and they were needed there as soon as possible. Just before going to warp en route to Garadius IV, which would have destroyed the ship due to the Romulans secretly transferring muons to the dilithium chamber, the ship was saved – by Geordi La Forge and Ro Laren, who had been accidentally "cloaked", thrown out of phase, and once restored told the crew of the Romulan plot. (TNG: "The Next Phase")
