A drawing of Viveen lands on Ardani

Ardani, meaning "home", was an imaginary planet invented by Thaddeus Troi-Riker, complete with invented languages and cultures.

As Troi-Riker had been born and raised on starships, he developed the world during his childhood to serve as his homeworld. He invented twelve functional languages for its various cultures and people. (PIC: "Nepenthe")
