Janir

Labeled on a map of Bajor

"When the river wakes, stirred once more to Janir's side... three vipers will return to their nest in the sky."

– Trakor's Third Prophecy, 1st millennium BC ("Destiny")

Janir was a city on Bajor, already in existence in the 7th century BC. In the past, a river ran through the city, but over time its course changed.

Janir featured in Trakor's Third Prophecy. In the early 2370s, the construction of the Qui'al Dam changed the course of the river, returning it to Janir. (DS9: "Destiny")

In 2401, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard kept a map of Bajor's major archaeological sites in the study at Château Picard that identified Janir near the Sahving Valley in the Lonar Province region. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")

Background information

According to the script of "Destiny", Janir was pronounced as "jah-NEER".

Janir was labeled on a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine production map of Bajor that writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe maintained, as well as a map of Bajor derived from it by Geoffrey Mandel for Star Trek: Star Charts. (p. 42) [1]^(X) Mandel brought the label forward for a map of archaeological sites created for Star Trek: Picard. [2]

Jalanda is referenced in the novels Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume Two, Warpath, and Day of the Vipers.
