Zannaduu IV on a star chart.

Zannaduu IV was a sparsely populated independent planet located in the Triangle sector of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants, the fourth planet in orbit of the Zannaduu star system. (FASA RPG module: The Triangle)

Specifics

A habitable planet, Zannaduu was the site of a Human colony by the 23rd century. One native animal was the zandan, a horse-like creature that was used by the settlers as a mode of transportation. (FASA RPG module: Conflict of Interests)

It was a terrestrial class M planet. Forests and grassy plains along the equator supported a variety of horse breeds, some of which ran at record speeds. The rest of the world beyond its equatorial regions was covered with ice and snow.

Klingons considered it a holding of the Klingon Empire despite it being outside of Klingon territory and having no Klingon population. (FASA RPG module: The Triangle)

History

In the early 2230s decade, on reference stardate 1/7112, a Klingon force destroyed the Federation colony there and slaughtered its population. Young genetically engineered Klingon Intelligence agent Kailla Mishka was left on the surface to assume the identity of one of the slain children, Bram Harmonson, and was rescued by Federation forces two months later. (FASA RPG module: The Strider Incident)

Decades later, Terrok Farley discovered the planet to be uninhabited and claimed it to start his own independent colony, naming it and its system after his first successful breeding horse, Zannaduu. In the 2260s, on reference stardate 2/1002.18, he established Farley Horse Farms there. (FASA RPG module: The Triangle)

On reference stardate 2/08, a group of Humans left Zannaduu to settle on Sheridan's World, bringing a breeding stock of zandans with them. (FASA RPG module: Conflict of Interests)

By the 2280s decade, Zannaduu IV had a technological/sociopolitical index of 888664-98 and a planetary trade profile of FDEEFFF/D (X). (FASA RPG module: The Triangle)

This planet obviously lies in one of the two quadrants that make up "local" space. However, it is unclear which quadrant it belongs to, since the FASA Corporation RPG was made years before the canon quadrant system was devised.
