Tarod IX was the formerly inhabited ninth planet of the Tarod system. The system was located in Sector 30 on the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone, in the Beta Quadrant. This planet was home for one of the nine Federation outposts located in this sector.

In 2364, Tarod IX was the second stop of USS Enterprise-D on its tour of the destroyed outposts in sector 30. Near Tarod's system, on its passage to the next destroyed outpost, the Enterprise-D made contact with a Romulan D'deridex-class warbird. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone") It was later determined that the outpost had been attacked and destroyed by the Borg. (TNG: "Q Who")

This planet was only mentioned in dialogue.
This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred from the location of its star system as seen in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode "A Quality of Mercy".
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), Tarod IX was located in the Tarod system. This was a binary system with a K-class star and a M-class star.
