Hydra Epsilon III is a class M planet, the third planet of the Hydra Epsilon system, located in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant near or within Federation space.
Specifics[]
With its temperate climate and nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, portions of Hydra Epsilon III featured muggy forests and swamps. Lifeforms included birds, trees, and ferns, some carnivorous. Dwarf trees resembled Earth maple and oak trees, but with short, mangled roots.
History[]
By the 2260s, Hydra Epsilon III was considered a colonization candidate by the Federation, but had not yet been explored.
In 2267, an initial planetary survey was assigned to the starship USS Enterprise. James T. Kirk, Spock, Janice Rand, Vonda Figgs, Rojas and Klinsky beamed to the surface. Unfortunately, less than an hour later, two members of the landing party were killed and one injured by carnivorous plants. (TOS - Strange New Worlds V short story: "Yeoman Figgs")
