Beta Niobe III was once a Federation planet located in the Beta Niobe system in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant.
History and specifics[edit | edit source]
In the 2260s, Beta Niobe III supported the most technologically advanced industrial complex in its quadrant. Its temperate surface featured rivers, trees and cities. Inhabitants traveled via groundcars, boats and personal antigravs.
In 2269, the Federation starship USS Enterprise pursued three unusual pod-craft to Beta Niobe III. The pods released non-corporeal humanoid-shaped beings that started disintegrating buildings, vehicles, and even phasers as a means of absorbing energy. They avoided harming the inhabitants, and after a short time they departed the planet, heading towards the Gamma Cygnet region. (TOS comic: "This Tree Bears Bitter Fruit")
None of the planets in the system were considered sizable except for Sarpeidon. (DTI novel: Forgotten History)
In 2269, Beta Niobe III, along with the rest of the planets in the system, were vaporized when its star went supernova. (TOS episode & Star Trek 4 novelization: All Our Yesterdays, TOS novel: No Time Like the Past)
- Beta Niobe III was the most likely site of the colony where Dmitri Valtane, the son of Larisa and Nikolai Valtane, was born in 2259. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
