In that year, a Kelvan ship from the distant Andromeda Galaxy had crash-landed on this planet. Their multi-generational ship had taken only three Earth centuries to cross over from their endangered homeworld Kelva, but could not come through our galaxy's energy barrier intact. The survivors, who had been born in transit and known no other environment, were forced to take shelter here. Sensing a Federation starship was near, they took Human form in anticipation of appropriating the vessel. But they were not yet Human enough to feel comfortable in their surroundings. Rojan called it "this accursed planet" and his lieutenant Hanar said it was "an undisciplined environment." On the other hand, Kelinda did find one of the planet's flowers to be like a Kelvan crystal seen in the record banks of their lost intergalactic ship.
The Kelvans transmitted a distress call which was picked up by the USS Enterprise. A landing party, led by Captain James T. Kirk, made first contact with the Kelvans who subsequently took them captive. After a failed escape attempt, which resulted in the death of Yeoman Leslie Thompson, the Kelvans commandeered the Enterprise for a return trip to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Prior to the mid-2360s, the sixth planet was home to a highly industrialized civilization with cities linked by a system of roads. When the Borg attacked, the attacking ships removed cities, which caused rips to appear on the planet’s surface. In 2365, the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D scanned this planet, noting that the rips were very similar to the scarring detected on several Federation and Romulan outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2364, which had removed all machine elements on the planet.

System with shifted orbits
This system contained at least three planets. One of them was detected to have undergone an orbital shift by Starfleet, taking it between two gas giants. The gas giants' influence was expected to superheat the core of this planet, covering the planet with erupting volcanos in no time. Enterprise was ordered by Admiral Forrest to study it. While the planet initially appeared lifeless, the seismic activity unearthed subterranean microbes. (ENT: "Horizon")
Takara sector planet
An ice-covered class L world was located in the Takara sector, just outside the Alpha Quadrant.
In an alternate timeline, this planet was the crash site of USS Voyager following a disastrous use of the quantum slipstream drive. (VOY: "Timeless")
Taurean system, planet II
The Taurean system, located in a sector unfamiliar (but not untrafficked) to Starfleet, was a star system with at least two planets, both unnamed.
The second planet was chosen as a new homeworld by Theela's species, a warp-capable humanoid species who settled on the planet when their original homeworld began to die.
The planet's climate included rain and lightning. Water "accumulations" also existed.
These people built for themselves an advanced civilization, including a temple and numerous other architectural wonders. Unfortunately, these new inhabitants did not know at the time that the planet drained humanoid energy. The women's bodies were able to develop a glandular secretion that enabled them to survive and to manipulate certain areas of the males' brains to influence their emotions, ultimately draining the men. This caused the men to weaken and eventually die. The females realized that, in order to survive, they had to revitalize every 27 years, as they became eternal prisoners of the planet. They were neither capable of aging, dying, or bearing children. They revitalized themselves by means of summoning male crew members of starships from as far as twenty light years away.
In 2269, the USS Enterprise was investigating several disappearances within range of Taurean system when they fell victim to their summons. After reaching an agreement with the inhabitants, the crew of the Enterprise arranged for Starfleet to send a ship crewed by women. These women would transport them to a suitable planet where they could live out their lives as mortal women. (TAS: "The Lorelei Signal")
Terra Nova system planets
This system, located less than twenty light years from Earth, contained Terra Nova and two other planets. (ENT: "Terra Nova")
Terran base
This planet was located in the Badlands.
In the mirror universe, this planet hosted a base used by the Terran Rebellion in 2371. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass")
Tessic's species homeworld
The homeworld of Tessic's species was a planet far away from the planet on which some members established a mining colony. (ENT: "Marauders")
Trellium mining planet
The trellium mining planet was located about a six-week journey inside the Delphic Expanse. Trellium-D was mined there. The atmosphere of the planet was extremely polluted; many of the staff wore breathing masks and sustained survival on the surface was impossible. Members of thirty-one different species worked in the mines in some capacity.
Enterprise visited this planet in September of 2153 because a freighter captain informed them that he had taken a Xindi there some time ago. Upon arrival, Captain Jonathan Archer and Commander Tucker were forced to provide a half-liter of liquefied platinum to the foreman of the north mine to see the Xindi, a Primate named Kessick.
It turned out to be a trap, however. The miners worked by capturing ships and forcing their crew to work as slaves. Enterprise was barely able to escape, but Kessick died in the attempt. (ENT: "The Xindi")
Uninhabited planet
Enterprise had been exploring this planet for three days in March 2153 when they were forced to recall their three surface science teams to pursue a bounty hunter who had captured their captain. They had also put down a number of crewmen on it for shore leave.
Among the planet's most enjoyable regions were equatorial range, including a north summit with an inspiring view. In the north there was the Rykos shoreline, the southern tip of which was 227 kilometers from the polar island chain. These islands featured a pyroclastic debris field, lava tubes, and the hydrothermal pools of Ren-gham. The planet also featured ravines. However, as Skalaar mentioned these things after learning Archer's name, it is possible he made these features up to earn Archer's trust and be able to kidnap him.
The planet supported life, for example a species of marsupials whose saliva was a natural anti-coagulant. There was also an unusual microbe which was capable of inducing pon farr in Vulcans. The microbe was also suspected of being more dangerous to Humans than to Vulcans or Denobulans. (ENT: "Bounty")
Vintaak system gas giant
The Vintaak system contained at least one planet, this ringed gas giant with several moons. In the mirror universe, it was located in Tholian space, and one moon contained a Tholian base. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")
Volterra Nebula planets
Two unnamed gas giants were located in the Volterra Nebula, a stellar nursery. In 2369, the USS Enterprise-D visited this nebula for a three-week analysis. (TNG: "The Chase")
Vulcan monastery planet
This planet, between the neighboring Vulcan and Andorian systems, was the site of the monastery at P'Jem. The planet was the site of the first contact between Andorians and Humans.
A nearby ringed moon was visible in the sky of the planet. The surface featured several mountains, many trees and several other plants, canyons and a foggy air. There was also at least one lifeform native to the planet.
The planet was known to the Vulcans since at least the early 1st millennium BC. The construction of the monastery at P'Jem, later consecrated to the memory and teachings of Surak, predated the Time of Awakening by over twelve centuries.
By the 22nd century, the Vulcan High Command thought to capitalize on the planet's proximity to the Andorian system by installing a secret long range sensor array there. The ancient monastery provided cover for this listening post.
Certain Andorian factions remained suspicious even after the peace treaty with the Vulcans. Andorian Imperial Guard commandos forcibly searched P'Jem twice before the successful June 2151 raid led by Thy'lek Shran. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")
Within a year, the spy station and its ancient cover had been destroyed. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")
Background information
In the first draft script of "The Andorian Incident" (which had the working title "Incident at P'Jem"), this planet was called "Kro'el". In "Shadows of P'Jem", Archer calls P'Jem the "Sanctuary at P'Jem", suggesting that either the area it was in or the planet was also called P'Jem. In the final draft script of ENT: "Desert Crossing", Trip Tucker made reference to "that Vulcan monastery on P'Jem," proving the planet was indeed meant to be called "P'Jem". However, this line did not make it on screen.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 118) identified the planet as "P'Jem". It further stated that the monastery was founded on this class M planet around 800 BCE. Then, in a note to the main entry "P'Jem", the authors said that "it is not entirely clear whether P'Jem was the name of the planet or simply the name of the monastery".
According to Michael and Denise Okuda, the location of P'Jem was ambiguous but they assumed it was close to Vulcan, Andoria, and Earth. ("The Andorian Incident", text commentary, ENT Season 1 DVD special feature)
The shot of Enterprise in orbit of the planet was recycled footage of Archer IV from "Strange New World". Digital matte paintings of the P'Jem Monastery were created by Black Pool Studios. [5]
Non-canon sources naming the planet "P'Jem" include Star Trek Online and the reference book Star Trek: Star Charts. According to the latter source (p. 45), the planet was located in the Luyten's Star system. It was a stop on the Vulcan trade routes in the 22nd century, and was located in the Beta Quadrant.
War games simulation system
In a holographically-simulated tactical scenario played out on USS Voyager in 2371, a red giant system with eight planets, none of them M class, played a minor role. (VOY: "Learning Curve")
Worlds visited by Alidar Jarok
These worlds, numbering over a hundred, were visited by the Romulan Admiral Alidar Jarok during his lifetime. According to him, none of them "possessed the awesome beauty of Romulus". (TNG: "The Defector")
Worlds unaffected by Romulan supernova
After it became clear that the Romulan sun would would go supernova, the Federation devised a plan to relocate nine hundred million Romulan citizens to worlds outside the blast of the supernova. (PIC: "Remembrance")
Xendi Sabu system planet
This unnamed planet was located in the Xendi Sabu system. (TNG: "The Battle")
Xindi database planets
Images of several planets appeared in a database captured by Enterprise NX-01. (ENT: "Anomaly")
Zeta Gelis star cluster planet
This planet was located in the Zeta Gelis star cluster and was in orbit of a nearby star. In 2366 the USS Enterprise-D encountered "John Doe" on a crashed escape pod on the planet. (TNG: "Transfigurations")
