Motherlode

Motherlode was an inhabited planet of the Arcadian system. The planet was located somewhere in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant.

In 2269, Motherlode didn't recognize Federation law. In that same year, Harry Mudd attempted to exploit the heavy metal miners on the planet by selling them a fake love potion. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")

Inhabitants

In the novelization of "Mudd's Passion" (as published in Star Trek Log 3), "Motherlode" was said to be the unofficial name for Arcadia III – the third planet in the Arcadian system.
The term "mother lode" was used in mining to refer to a significant deposit of ore.
