Paraagan II

Paraagan II

Paraagan II was a planet visited in early 2152 by the Enterprise (NX-01). The planet had a Paraagan mining colony. When the colony started in 2132 there were 30 miners; by 2152 there were 3,600 colonists, plus schools, landscaped communities, and a museum. The colonists were somewhat nonconformist by Paraagan standards, eschewing most of the ceremonies of mainstream society.

The atmosphere of the colony planet contained a large amount of tetrazine that reacted poorly with plasma. When the Enterprise shuttlepod approached the planet, the atmosphere was ignited and all the Paraagan colonists were killed. It was later determined that the cause was a device planted by a Suliban stealth-cruiser that caused the released plasma. The Suliban Cabal were believed to have caused the destruction of Paraagan II to stop the mission of the Enterprise by besmirching its name, thereby gaining an advantage in the Temporal Cold War. (ENT: "Shockwave, Part I")

Given that this planet is most likely not in the same system as the Paraagan homeworld, the "II" in its name probably represents the fact it is their second planet, not that it is the second planet in the Paraagan System. The Star Trek Star Charts locates this planet in the Beta Quadrant.
