Veneu II was a planet, the second planet of the Veneu system, located in the Wumpar sector somewhere in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants. It was once the homeworld of an advanced civilization.
History and specifics[]
The Wumpar considered the planet to be part of their territorial space.
In the 23rd century, no intelligent life lived on the surface, but a previous civilization left behind extensive ruins, including some highly-advanced, operational technology such as a long distance transporter that could beam through time.
In 2270, the USS Enterprise arrived in orbit of Veneu II. A landing party explored the ruins, but were forced to retreat when a Wumpar starship sent three fighters to strafe the surface. James T. Kirk was trapped in a collapsing structure and rescued by the transporter, which sent him to Gribbin II in a neighboring system two or three centuries in the past. A joint rescue party comprised of crew from the Enterprise and the Wumpar starship excavated the collapsed structure but were unable to locate Kirk or his communicator. (TOS comic: "The Alone")
The circumstances forced Starfleet Admiral Handler to declare Kirk lost and presumed dead, and he ordered the Enterprise to report to Starbase 86 for resupply. (TOS comic: "The Alone, Part Two")
