Minos

Minos, Minosia or Minos Korva was a planet in the Minos Korva star system. This planet was found in the Lorenze Cluster, which was a star cluster in Sector 21527, Alpha Quadrant. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom", "Chain Of Command, Part II"; Star Trek: Section 31)

It was formerly inhabited by the Minosians, until the entire population was wiped out by the Echo Papa 607.

Minos was a heavily forested planet that could support most lifeforms. After the disappearance of the Minosians, only plant and animal life remained.

The planet was visited by the USS Drake, and later the USS Enterprise-D, in 2364. The Echo Papa 607, a sophisticated weapon system developed by the Minosians, was still active on the planet and had killed the crew of the Drake. It nearly killed the crew of the Enterprise-D as well, but was turned off when Jean-Luc Picard tricked it into believing he wanted to buy it. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom")

Background information

The planet model for Minos was first used to represent the planet Angel I in "Angel One" and would later be used to represent Theta VIII in "The Royale" and Legara IV in "Sarek".

While Minos and the Minos Korva system were not linked in TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom" and "Chain Of Command, Part II", this link was established in Star Trek: Section 31. Even if not originally intended, it is not contradictory assuming that the Federation colony in Minos Korva is recent as of 2369.

StarTrek.com located Minos in the Lorenze system. [1](X)
