Altamid

Altamid was a Class M planet located just beyond Federation space in uncharted territory. It was fairly close to Yorktown Station.

The Federation starship USS Franklin (NX-326) crash landed on Altamid on 2164. Feeling abandoned by Starfleet when no one came to rescue them, Captain Balthazar M. Edison and the survivors of the Franklin turned to alien technology to keep them alive, which drove them into madness and heavily mutated them in the process. In the process Edison adopted the new name Krall.

Over the next century Krall established his base of operations on Altamid. He and his compatriots spent the time building up a huge swarm of small attack ships, while searching for a part of an ancient biological weapon that would enable them to take revenge on the Federation. Krall and his forces attacked ships that happened in the area, forcing them to crash on Altamid and imprisoning the survivors - many of whom he used to prolong his own life.

In 2263 the USS Enterprise (alternate reality NCC-1701) was lured to Altamid, where it was attacked by Krall's swarm. The secondary hull was destroyed, and the saucer section crash landed on Altamid. The surviving Enterprise crew were able to repair the Franklin and departed Altamid in order to stop Krall from attacking Yorktown station.
