Barakos IV is a planet located in the heart of the [[Orion Syndicate]]. It's primary trade is in slaves and other illegal good. It is within 100 light-years of the border of the [[United Federation of Planets]] and is therefore also a haven for smugglers and pirates. This planet is heavily guarded by Syndicate ships and has three processing stations in orbit around the planet. 

In early 2408 the [[USS Rosenante]] visited the planet under cloak, while attempting to locate the [[Cartenian]] Prince Khamal who had been kidnapped by [[Morella]] in an attempt to prevent him from establishing peace between the Arturians and the Meldovians. The Syndicate and [[Morella]] in particular had been supplying both sides with weapons and services during their 400 year war and stood to lose a great deal of profit if a lasting peace was established.

The Rosenante sent  three away teams to the surface of the planet, but were unable to locate the Prince there, although they did receive a lead that led them to [[Haldor II]], Another planet located in Orion Space.

The planet is [[Class M]] and is developed only moderately, with it's primary hub being the slave market.
