Deneb IV

Deneb IV is an inhabited planet in the Deneb system of the Alpha Quadrant.

Homeworld to the Bandi, a telepathic humanoid species, the planet was known for its internal heat, which generated an abundance of geothermal energy.

As of 2364, Deneb IV was at the edge of "the great unexplored mass of the galaxy".

In 2364, the Bandi had seemingly constructed Farpoint Station, a base which they subsequently offered to Starfleet.

Intrigued by the short time in which it was built, Starfleet sent the USS Enterprise-D to investigate the base.

It was discovered that the station was in fact a space vessel lifeform, enslaved by the Bandi.

The entity was then released, and Starfleet and the Bandi began planning to reconstruct the station.
