Eminiar VII is the inhabited seventh planet in the Eminiar system of the Alpha Quadrant.

It is the homeworld for the Eminians, a non-warp humanoid species.


This civilization was considered advanced, and had the ability of space flight for several hundred years. However, the Eminians elected not to venture outside of their star system. Instead, they chose to fight wars with Vendikar, its colony on the third planet in the system, for five hundred years.


This was a simulated war, with casualties determined by computer projections, and the population of Eminiar willingly killed themselves in the name of this war.
Every year, one to three million were killed by disintegration chambers.




In 2267, the USS Enterprise visited this planet on a mission to open diplomatic relations with Eminiar VII. During the visit, the Eminians, via their computers, threatened the Enterprise, and Captain Kirk decided to end their simulated war. He destroyed the computers conducting the war, which left the Eminians and their High Council with a choice: end the war and the mandatory suicides, or continue the war, complete with unpredictable casualties.

They chose to end the war, and Federation Ambassadors began to work with both Eminiar VII and the Vendikars to bring about a new age of peace. Eventually, the planet joined the Federation of Planets.
