Delta Vega I

Delta Vega is an uninhabited planet located in the Delta Vega sector at the edge of the galaxy, near the galactic barrier. Delta Vega is home to an automated Federation lithium cracking station, and is only ever visited by ore ships who visit to collect the lithium every twenty years or so.

In 2265, the USS Enterprise visited Delta Vega to repair their damaged warp drive following their encounter with the barrier. The decision was made to maroon Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell on the planet after he was transformed by the barrier, however Mitchell managed to escape captivity and attempted to kill Captain James T. Kirk. Fortunately, Mitchell was stopped by Dr. Elizabeth Dehner who had also been transformed, but at the cost of her own life. (TOS episode: "Where No Man Has Gone Before").
