Planet Q

Planet Q was an inhabited planet. This planet was the home of a Federation colony. Cygnia Minor was located near this planet.

As part of the Galactic Cultural Exchange Project, the Karidian Company of Players performed an Arcturian version of Macbeth on Planet Q in 2266. At that time, Doctor Thomas Leighton, a resident of Planet Q and old friend of Captain James Kirk, sent a signal to the USS Enterprise, informing Kirk that he had discovered an extraordinary new synthetic food, which would end the threat of famine on nearby Cygnia Minor. It was soon discovered, however, that Leighton had lied about the discovery in order to lure the Enterprise to Planet Q to convince Kirk that he had found Kodos. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
