Nimbus III

Nimbus III is a planet located along the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan borders.

''Decipher lists the planet as being located in the Alpha Quadrant. (Decipher: Worlds)''

In a rare example of cooperation, all three powers established a colony on the planet in 2267. The planet was christened the "Planet of Galactic Peace", and if the project was a success, could very well change politics in the Alpha Quadrant.

Representatives from the three powers, ran the colony from its capital, Paradise City, and all the inhabitants of the colony were volunteers from the three powers and moved to the colony on agreement that weapons were banned, in the interest of peace and co-operation. .

In 2365, the USS Harriman was destroyed near Nimbus III while intervening in a confrontation between a Klingon cargo ship and a Romulan warbird. (SS NF (Performance Appraisal))

By the late 24th century the Federation's attention returned to Nimbus III and a decision was made to invest more resources into the colony; however, the outbreak of the Dominion War detracked the Federation's efforts. By the end of the war in 2375 what few colonists had called the planet home had abandoned it. (Decipher: Worlds)

Geography
Nimbus III was dominated by one large continent which possessed little surface water beyond stagnant pools. Moreover, as the planet lacked tidal forces, there was little rain to replenish the few traces of surface water. The planet's one continent did have several mountain ranges although most peaks had been eroded due to a lack of geological activity.

The average temperature on Nimbus III was quite high and rarely dropped below 25 degrees celsius in areas such as the badlands. Most humanoids found the climate unpleasant with the exception of Vulcans. (Decipher: Worlds)
