Persephone V was the inhabited fifth planet of its star system. It had a highly elliptical and inclined orbit, with a perihelion within the orbit of Persephone IV and an aphelion beyond the orbit of Persephone VIII.
In 2259, Persephone V was marked on a stellar cartography chart displayed in the ready room of the USS Enterprise, visiting the Persephone system to study the behavior of the ancient comet C/2260-Quentin. (SNW: "Children of the Comet")
In 2364, Admiral Mark Jameson lived in semi-retirement on Persephone V prior to being called into service to help with hostage negotiations on Mordan IV. (TNG: "Too Short A Season")
The episode's script describes Persephone V as being reddish in color, rather than the green planet seen in the final product. Furthermore, this planet was home to Starbase 45. [1]
According to Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), in 2378, Persephone V was a Federation member.
It was originally to be called New Yelva and was described as a "vacation planet". [2]
