Sherman's Planet

==Alternate timelines==
In one [[alternate timeline]], Sherman’s Planet was attacked by the Klingons circa [[2243]]. It is not clear whether the planet was, at that time, a colony of [[United Earth]] or a colony of the [[Interstellar Coalition]]. Nevertheless, the attack prompted [[Phillip Boyce]] to join [[Starfleet]]. ({{n|ST|sub=Myriad Universes|A Less Perfect Union}})

In yet another alternate timeline, the Klingons were successful in sabotaging the Federation's efforts to colonize the planet. The Klingons used a [[mutagenic virus]] to infect the crops of the Federation settlers. The virus would cause crops to repeatedly fail, but was also infectous towards the colonists. What's more, the virus would alter itself depending upon the environment thus resulting in different symptoms each time an outbreak occurred.

On occasion, Klingons near to the Federation colonies would also fall sick, but since the Klingons relied more upon hunting than farming, the effects were minimal on their colonists.

Governor [[Elizabeth Zaman]] would be one of the victims of the frequent outbreaks in the Federation settlements. What's more, less than two years after attempting to settle the planet, the surviving Federation colonists would have to be evacuated by the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}. Following these events, the Klingons would lay claim to the entire planet. ({{n|ST|sub=Myriad Universes|Honor in the Night}})

According to a "Federation-Gorn war" scenario of a [[Starfleet Academy]] [[simulation]], Sherman's Planet would be the target of a Gorn [[biological weapon]]. ({{g|TOS|Starfleet Academy Starship Bridge Simulator}})
