'aucdet IX was the inhabited ninth planet of the 'aucdet star system and the site of a Federation Medical Collection Station.
In early 2365, the USS Enterprise-D arrived at the planet to take up specimens of plasma plague for transport to Science Station Tango Sierra. At that time, Lieutenant Commander Hester Dealt was the commanding officer of the station. (TNG: "The Child")

Background
A clear spelling
While this planet's name is spelled as 'audet IX in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, it appears as 'aucdet IX in both the episode's script [1] and on an on-screen display monitor in the episode.
According to the script for "The Child", the name of the planet was pronounced "O-det Nine."
The planet model first used here for 'aucdet IX would later be used for Gagarin IV ("Unnatural Selection"), Galorndon Core ("The Enemy"), Barzan II ("The Price"), Jouret IV ("The Best of Both Worlds"), and Bilana III ("New Ground"). For its appearance as 'aucdet IX, the model had a blue color.
