Eminiar VII

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Eminiar VII was a planet in the NGC 321 star cluster. The seventh planet of the star system it was located in, the planet was home to the Eminian Union.

The planet achieved spaceflight by what was the 19th century on Earth. During that time, the planet had become embroiled in a conflict with Eminian colonists who had settled on the planet Vendikar - the third planet of their star system. Eventually the two societies developed computers that fought their war for them, with casualties ordered to commit suicide by stepping into a disintegration machine and being vaporized. For the next five hundred years the two cultures fought this computerized war, killing about three million of their citizens a year.

The Federation sent the starship Valiant to the area, which made initial contact with Eminiar VII in the early 23rd century. After making a report to Starfleet, the ship disappeared, a victim of the conflict between Eminiar and Vendikar.

The Federation later sent Ambassador Robert Fox to negotiate a treaty port with the Eminians in 2267. The ongoing conflict between Eminiar and Vendikar endangered the USS Enterprise crew. After the initial crisis was averted, Robert Fox stayed on Eminiar VII to negotiate a lasting peace. (TOS episode: "A Taste of Armageddon" and TOS novel: The Rift)

By the 24th century, Eminiar VII was quite highly regarded for its senic beauty, and became a destination for tourists. Several images of the planet's surface were displayed on Deep Space Nine's

Promenade. (DS9 episodes: "The Muse", "What You Leave Behind")
