Bre'el IV

Bre'el IV was the inhabited fourth planet in its star system. This planet was located in a sector of the Alpha or Beta Quadrant, had at least two continents, and had an asteroidal moon. This was the homeworld for the Bre'el IV natives.

In 2366, after a large celestial object passed at near right angles to the plane of the star system, the orbit of the moon was disrupted and began a downward trajectory into the planet. If the moon had impacted the planet, the inhabitants would be subjected to a planet-wide catastrophe. The USS Enterprise-D made several attempts to return the moon to its proper orbit, but was unable to do so. Disaster was ultimately averted by the entity known as Q when he returned the moon to its proper placement. (TNG: "Deja Q")

"bree-el" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]

In the Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"; "United Federation of Planets III") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), Bre'el IV's system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. In 2378, Bre'el IV was listed as a Federation member.

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 101 identified Bre'el IV as a Federation member planet.
