Background information

"in-FER-nuh" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 363 identified Inferna Prime as a Federation world. StarTrek.com identified the world as a UFP member or as an associate member. [2](X)

Information on this world was derived from the episodes, the reference works Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library, and real-world sources. The reference works were used extensively in the creation of star charts seen in Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Lower Decks. The real-world information added to the article was current as of 2025; the Zeta Herculis system was a binary system.

The name of Inferna Prime's system came from the Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"). In 2378, Inferna Prime was listed as a Federation member.
