Thark

Thark was a planet located in the Thark-Morkol system in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant. It was the homeworld of the insectoid Tharkians.

History and specifics[]

It was located in the Tharkian sector, in unclaimed territory closer to the Klingon Empire than the Romulan Star Empire. (TOS comic: "Shell Game")

In the 2260s, Thark was at war with its neighboring planet Morkol. Tharkians installed an artificial ring system around Morkol for use as a planetary defense system.

In 2267, clumps from the ring brought the Federation starship USS Enterprise into orbit of Morkol. Later, a huge mass from the ring was successfully deployed against an invading fleet of D7-class Klingon battlecruisers. James T. Kirk invited Thark to join the Federation. (TOS comic: "Spheres of War")
