Lambda Paz

Lambda Paz, also known as Pentarus IIIB, was a moon of Pentarus III. This moon was located somewhere in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant.

Classified as "barely" class M, its surface was mostly desert with an average temperature of 55.2° Celsius. The moon had a diameter of 7,222.432 kilometers, a mass of 7.39323 x 10423 kilograms, and a surface gravity of 0.87 Gs. It had a very strong magnetic field that could disrupt tricorder and orbital scans.

In 2367, the mining shuttle Nenebek, carrying Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Wesley Crusher to negotiations on Pentarus V, crash landed on Lambda Paz after suffering a thruster failure.

Picard and Crusher, along with shuttle captain Dirgo, sought shelter in a nearby cave that contained an artificial fountain of water. However, the water was protected by a force field and a sentry that first injured Picard, and then killed Dirgo when they attempted to access the water. Crusher eventually found a way to deactivate the fountain's defenses using a modified tricorder, sustaining Picard's life long enough for them to be rescued by the USS Enterprise-D.
