Deneva
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
Deneva (or Deneva Prime) was a planet located in the Kap For system of the Beta Quadrant see Star Trek Charts 2002] and was the location of a Earth colony established in the 2140s. Shortly after the element trivium is discovered in Deneva's asteroid belt. By the 2150s, Deneva was a key port, with many cargo vessels making runs to the asteroid belt. (Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual and ENT episode: "Horizon")
As the colony continued to grow in the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries, a scientific base started to develop on Deneva, which drew many scientific minds from all over the Federation. It was in the labs of Carter Winston's Resources Corporation of Deneva where the energy-channeling properties of dilithium were first observed by Federation researchers. (TOS reference book: Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology and novel: The Final Reflection)
Disaster struck Deneva in 2267 when a visiting transport ship from Ingraham B brought deadly neural parasites with them that took over the colonists' minds, making them build spaceships so that they could spread their influence. Fortunately, their plans were halted by Captain James T. Kirk (whose brother Sam and family were stationed on Deneva) and the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). Deaths from the invasion numbered close to twenty-one thousand, including Deneva's governor Newton Armitage, Sam Kirk, and his wife Aurelan. Deputy governor Helena Albrecht took over leadership of the colony. (TOS novelization: "Operation -- Annihilate!", Star Trek 2, novel Provenance of Shadows)
Following the end of the parasite crisis, the citizens of Deneva got back on their feet and the colony continued. By the 2380s, two Denevans had served as President of the United Federation of Planets: Alohk Ixan from 2281 to 2284, and Adam Zagrin from 2301 to 2308.

In 2376 the First Minister of Bajor Shakaar Edon visited Deneva as part of a good will tour of the Federation. (DS9 novel: Unity)
