Ockmenic 9 was the inhabited ninth planet in its star system, and the homeworld of the Ockmenians. It was a Brigadoon-type planet that existed in another dimension for the most part and phased into normal space-time for only two hours per year. It did not have any moons. (LD: "The Stars At Night")

History[]
As of the late 24th century, the Ockmenians were aware of the Federation and had an agreement with Starfleet to receive supplies during the brief window that Ockmenic 9 existed in normal space. In 2381, Captain Carol Freeman convinced Starfleet Command to make this task the third leg of a "second contact race" between her ship, the USS Cerritos, and the newly introduced automated starship USS Aledo, so as to prove the continued viability of the California-class. The Aledo delivered its supplies to Ockmenic 9 as scheduled, whereas the Cerritos, due to a delay at LT-358, arrived too late to do the same before the planet phased into its other dimension, thereby losing the race.
