The Minarian star system was a formerly inhabited planetary system. It was a unary star system consisting of the primary [Minara]] and several planets with a population in the millions.
In 2268, this system's star began to go nova destroying all life in this system. A species known as the Vians was able to save one and only one of the planets in the system and chose the empathic inhabitants of Gem's planet due to their healing ability and capacity for self-sacrificing compassion. (TOS: "The Empath")
