Tau Cygna V was a planet located in the space of the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant, the fifth planet in orbit of the Tau Cygna star system in the de Laure belt. In the year 2274, the starship SS Artemis crashed on the surface and the survivors started a new colony. In 2366, the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D was assigned to remove the lost colony of Humans against their will when the planet was annexed from the Federation by the Sheliak civilization. The planet was bathed in radiation harmful to Humans, but the colonists had developed a natural resistance over time. To handle the relocation effort, Lieutenant Commander Data was sent to planet since he was immune to the radiation effects. (TNG episode: "The Ensigns of Command")
