Lekythos is a planet located in uncharted territory on the opposite side of the space of the Romulan Star Empire away from the Federation.
History and specifics[]
It was in the general vicinity of the planets Acanthus and Apandana. It appeared blue and small from orbit. The class L planet had oceans, at least four continents, and a breathable atmosphere.
Years ago, a group of inhabitants waited out a dangerous meteor storm in cryogenic chambers, kept operational by maintenance drones. Security robots and mist dragon illusions were set up for defense. Unfortunately, the storm destroyed the system's computer monitors, keeping the natives asleep.
In 2269, the starship USS Enterprise depleted its dilithium while passing through a dimensional rift in the Sigma Iotia system. During the return voyage, the Enterprise orbited Lekythos. A landing party discovered a vein of high-grade dilithium in a cave, along with the cryogenic chamber, security robots and mist dragons. In gratitude for ending his group's slumber, an awakened native gave the crew the dilithium needed to return back to Federation space.
The Enterprise was escorted from Lekythos to Shroud IV through Romulan territory and into the Romulan Neutral Zone by a Romulan starship. (TOS video game: 25th Anniversary – NES)
