Editing Berengaria VII

[[Berengaria VII]] is a major [[planet]] in the [[United Federation of Planets]], located in the Berengaria system. (TNG: "Conspiracy") 

In December 2154, prior to the founding of the [[Federation]], Berengaria VII was to be scouted by the Earth Starfleet ship Enterprise as the site of one of a proposed chain of starbases. T'Pol described the world as having a thriving ecosystem devoid of intelligent life. However, she mentioned that a [[Vulcan]] survey team had made note of a species of flying reptiles, over 200 meters in length, that breathe fire. However, an incident with the [[Orions]] postponed or canceled this mission. (ENT: "Bound") 

At some point prior to 2267, Spock encountered a dragon-like creature on the planet, confirming the original story. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise") 

In 2373, Kai Winn Adami asked Captain Benjamin Sisko rhetorically whether the Federation would sacrifice Berengaria to protect [[Bajor]] from the Dominion. (DS9: "In the Cards") 

This would seem to indicate that Berengaria VII had become an important Federation colony world. 
==Background Information== 
*'''''Berengaria VII was mentioned as a small note on a very large star chart graphic created for TNG: "Conspiracy". It was the image behind the chair in the room where Dexter Remmick was killed. It appears to be near the [[Tholian Assembly]], Gamma Canaris N, and [[Janus VI]].''''' 
*'''''The non-canon Star Trek: Star Charts places the Berengaria system at least 100 light years from [[Sol]] near [[Breen]] territory. In ENT: "Bound", this location is more or less contradicted, however, as it would be way off the [[Klingon]] Qu'Vat colony visited by Enterprise NX-01 a few weeks before according to the Star Charts. Furthermore, Enterprise would have to make it back to Earth mere three weeks later for ENT: "Demons", further contradicting this proposed location of Berengaria.''''' 
*'''''RMS Berengaria was the name of a British navy vessel of the 20th century, which was in turn named after Berengaria of Navarre, queen consort to Richard I of England.'''''
