A Kaferian insectoid
Kaferia was an inhabited planet. This planet was the homeworld for the insectoid Kaferians. It was also home to the Kaferian apples.
Prior to stardate 1312, Gary Mitchell visited this planet more than once. Each time he visited the planet, he always favored the apples. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before"; TNG: "The Big Goodbye", display graphic)
The image of the Kaferian seen in "The Big Goodbye" was from the FASA RPG module The Federation.
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 44, "United Federation of Planets I"), Kaferia was located in or near Federation space, in the Alpha Quadrant. Kaferia was Tau Ceti III, the third planet in the Tau Ceti system. In the mid-22nd century, Kaferia was a destination on the Vulcan trade routes. In 2378, Kaferia was a Federation member. The Worlds of the Federation also referenced Kaferia as Tau Ceti III.
