History and specifics[]
Barkon IV was a class M planet. (ST reference: The Star Trek Encyclopedia)
Barkon IV has a pre-contact culture ruled by village elders and a magistrate. A downed probe was retrieved from Barkon by Lieutenant Commander Data, who suffered memory loss on the mission causing a subsequent contamination of the inhabitants of a nearby village with radioactive material. Data found a way to cure the Barkonians of the resulting radiation disease. (TNG episode: "Thine Own Self")
