Izar

Izar was an inhabited planet in the Izar system. Located in the Alpha Quadrant, this planet was remembered the most as the place where Fleet Captain Garth of Starfleet came from. It was approximately 203 light years from Sol.

He was known as "Garth of Izar" during the 2260s. While in a fit of madness and upon hearing James T. Kirk's address of him as "Garth" or "Captain Garth", he corrected Kirk, calling himself instead, "Lord Garth, formerly of Izar." (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy"; PIC: "Disengage")

In a commercial for Tribbles cereal, Izar was shown on a computer screen of a food synthesizer in the mess hall of the USS Ravenous. It was listed along with other locations such as Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, Cestus, Tellar, Rigel VI, and Rigel X. (ST: "The Trouble with Edward", credit cookie)

In the Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 32, 36) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library, Izar was the third planet in the system. in 2183, after the first manned landing by the SS Horizon, an Earth colony was founded on this planet. Within months of being founded, the Izar colony was admitted to the United Federation of Planets. The dominant species were Humans. In 2370, the census counted 185 million living on this planet. The planetary capital was New Seattle. Major attractions on this planet included the Starfleet Tactical School and the Izar Institute of Meteorology. This world was a destination on a major space lane in the late 24th century.
