Revision as of 04:47, 17 August 2012

Ophiucus III was the third planet of the Ophiucus system and a colony world that was being settled in the mid-23rd century. Women were scarce enough that intergalactic rogue Harcourt Mudd saw an opportunity in bringing them in from other worlds. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")

Background

Ophiucus III was located in the Beta Quadrant. This planet, along with Ophiucus VI, was located in the Ophiucus (36 Ophiuchi) system. This system was located in the Ophiucus Sector (Sector 008).

This system was a quadrinary star system of K-class stars. The primary's magnitude was +1, which was 100 times brighter than Sol.

In the mid-22nd century, the Ophiucus system was named as a stop on the Earth-Ophiucus run. By 2378, Ophiucus III had become a member planet of the Federation. (Star Trek: Star Charts, pages 19, 44, & United Federation of Planet I)
