Changes: Nimbus III

Revision as of 21:47, 4 July 2015

"We're already prisoners here on this worthless lump of rock!"

– St. John Talbot, 2287 (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

Nimbus III was the inhabited third planet in the Nimbus system. It was orbited by at least two moons. Nimbus III was established as a "Planet of Galactic Peace" in 2267 after the Federation-Klingon War. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

Location

Nimbus III was located in the Neutral Zone. This planet was located in the same quadrant as the Sol system. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

In 2371, the location of Nimbus III was labeled in the star chart Data and Picard were studying in stellar cartography aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek Generations, okudagram)

In 2376, the location of Nimbus III was labeled on a star chart in astrometrics on USS Voyager in 2376. (VOY: "Child's Play", okudagram)

History

In 2267, after the war, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon and Romulan Empires agreed to mutually develop the planet, in the hopes that it would serve as a model for a new age of peace and understanding. An advertisement broadcasted from the planet claimed it to be "...famous for its wildlife and the fishing is terrific." Individuals who wished to move to this planet could finance their trip through Federation Federal. In reality, the planet was a desert world and the colonists chosen for the undertaking were among the most unscrupulous individuals in the galaxy, quickly taking to fighting amongst each other, fashioning their own crude weapons after the planetary government forbade weapons from them.

In 2287, the Human St. John Talbot was the Federation representative stationed on Nimbus III. General Korrd was the Klingon representative and Caithlin Dar the Romulan. All three were captured and telepathically brainwashed by the renegade Vulcan Sybok when his "Galactic Army of Light" took over the planet's capital and only settlement, Paradise City. By taking the representatives hostage, his plan was to attract a starship to the planet, that he would commandeer to take them all to Sha Ka Ree.

The USS Enterprise-A and Klaa's Bird-of-Prey responded to the hostage crisis. The Enterprise-A was commandeered by Sybok. Captain Klaa followed them, after intercepting a distress call from Captain James T. Kirk. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

Appendices

Background information

In a deleted scene from TNG: "Family", the hologram of Jack Crusher stated that one of Wesley's ancestors was a horse thief on Nimbus III. [1]

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 66), the Nimbus system was located in or near the Romulan Neutral Zone, in the Beta Quadrant. This system was in close proximity to Earth Outpost Stations 9 and 10. This was a single star system. Primary was a Class F star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol.

Apocrypha

The computer game Star Trek Online places the Nimbus system in the Nimbus sector at the junction between the Federation, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. Other nearby landmarks include Starbase 234 and the Azure Nebula.

Several Star Trek Online missions take place on Nimbus III, which is depicted as having been taken over by the Orion Syndicate by 2409. The Tal Shiar and Elachi also have a secret base there.
