Deneb IV

Deneb IV is a Class M planet, and is the fourth planet located in the Deneb system. Deneb is also home to the humanoid species known as the Bandi.

In 2362, the Federation made first contact with the Bandi and met with their leader, Groppler Zorn. The contact went well and Zorn promised the Federation that the Bandi could construct a magnificent starbase for use by them.

By 2364, Farpoint Station had been "constructed" and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was dispatched to the planet to investigate the starbase, as well as correct the rest of her remaining personnel. Eventually, Captain Jean-Luc Picard was able to ascertain that the starbase was actually a projection created by a star-jelly. (TNG novelization: Encounter at Farpoint).
