Vanowen was a habitable planet, the home of a 23rd century Federation colony.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2277, the colony on Vanowen suffered an outbreak of Rigellian fever, prompting swift actions by Starfleet. The starship USS Enterprise was dispatched to pick up medicine at Manark V, but Manarkite embryos hidden in the supply crates ate the medical supplies. Backup supplies were retrieved from the Organian system. (TOS comic: "Taking Shape")
