Triacus

Triacus was a planet located in the space of the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant, in orbit of the Alpha Lyrae star system, at coordinates 2.66N 2.48W. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)

History and specifics[]

Triacus was once believed to be a base of marauders or evil entities who lurked waiting to attack any visitors.

The Starnes Expedition went to explore the planet in the 2260s. Under the evil influence of Gorgan, all the adults committed suicide. (TOS episode & Star Trek 12 novelization: And the Children Shall Lead; TOS video game: 25th Anniversary)

In the later 23rd century, Triacus was home to a Human colony, a noted center of agriculture. By reference stardate 2/2306.01, the world had a population of 160 million individuals, mostly Human, and the government was an associate status colonial member of the Federation. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)

While The Federation places this in the Alpha Lyrae (Vega) system, at the ninth planet orbit also occupied by Vega IX, the canon appearance of this world did not mention any of the other Vega planets as being nearby. This might be taken as a contradiction unless one assumes this could be a moon or planetoid in a far-flung or hard-to-reach part of the system.
