Ligon II

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Ligon II was Class M planet located in the Ligon star system, home to a humanoid species known as the Ligonians.

In 2364, the USS Enterprise-D was dispatched to Ligon II to discuss with Lutan, the leader of Ligon II, the release of a rare vaccine for a deadly disease that had broke out in Styris IV. During Lutan's visit to the Enterprise he kidnapped Lieutenant Natasha Yar in a ritual show of strength.

The situation was resolved, and the vaccine released, when Yar and Yareena, Lutan's wife, engaged in a fight to death over Lutan's affections. Yar defeated Yareena in accordance with the traditional rite, but Yareena was then immediately beamed aboard the Enterprise and revived . (TNG episode: "Code of Honor")

In late 2375 or early 2376, the USS da Vinci visited Ligon II, in order for its Starfleet Corps of Engineers team to affect repairs to their orbital control station. This was Carol Abramowitz's first mission to an alien world as a member of Starfleet. (CoE eBook: Turn the Page)

[edit] Alternate universes

In an alternate version of the mirror universe, the ISS Enterprise-D was also dispatched to Ligon II to obtain the vaccine. But in this reality, Captain Jean-Luc Picard subjected the southern continent of the planet to lethal levels of gamma radiation and forced them to give up the vaccine. (TNG novel: Dark Mirror)
