Acamar III
Acamar III was the inhabited third planet in the Acamar system. This planet was located in a sector of the Beta Quadrant and was approximately 165 light years from Sol. It was the homeworld of the Acamarians, a warp-capable humanoid species.
In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D visited the planet to enlist the aid of Sovereign Marouk to end the Gatherer raids on Federation outposts. Upon completion of this mission, the Enterprise returned the sovereign to her planet. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")

Background information
This planet's quadrant of origin was inferred based on the position of its star system as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad".
"AWK-uh-mar" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide.
The planet model for Acamar III was first used for Starbase 6 ("The Schizoid Man"). It was later used for Ventax II ("Devil's Due") and Krios ("The Mind's Eye").
For the Star Trek: Prodigy episode "Let Sleeping Borg Lie", UI graphic designer Dominique Rossier created an info panel for the USS Dauntless mess hall depicting the Milky Way Galaxy with planet and Starfleet space station locations labeled. Identified as a planet, Acamar III was one of the locations mentioned on the chart. Although the panel did not appear in the episode, it can be seen at Rossier's artist page at Art Station. [1]
Apocrypha
In the RPG sourcebook Planets of the UFP, Acamar III's native fauna included a large flightless bird called the cralluck, a six-legged mammalian pack hunter called the gryll and a large burrowing predator called the mooshor. Plant life included a green vegetable called parthas and a lichen called vorvoss.
Ever since the inclusion of the New Romulus (β) area in Star Trek Online, players can revisit Acamar III to mediate problems between the two groups over certain problems since their reunification. If the mediation was successful, Tal Shiar ships will arrive, revealing they were behind the problems.
