Vashti (planet)

Vashti was a Federation planet, an inhabited class M world located in the Qiris sector near the Romulan Neutral Zone. 

History
Early in 2383, the people of Vashti welcomed Romulan refugees from Inxtis, on the other side of the Neutral Zone, to be resettled on their world. To that end, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard took the USS Verity (NCC-97000) and nine other ships of his fleet to transport the Romulans from Inxtis to Vashti. Picard hoped such a high-profile mission would appease the critical Federation Councillor Olivia Quest of Estelen, who was critical of the Romulan relocation mission. 

In 2385, the Yuyat Beta settlers Laris and Zhaban defied their Tal Shiar handlers in a confrontation between the Verity and a intel warbird. With their bridges burned, Picard offered the pair of ex-agents to settle on Vashti in the Quiris sector. Zhaban considered it too dangerous, and the admiral instead invited them to live on his vineyard in La Barre, France, on Earth.
