Phygma IV was a planet, the fourth planet of the Phygma system, located within the Organian Treaty Zone in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant. It was the homeworld of the Phygman civilization.
History and specifics[]
Phygma IV was notable for having large gravitite deposits. It had at least one large ocean and three continents. It had an orange sky and a barren, rocky surface.
In the 2260s, advance scouts determined that the planet was recovering from a global Phygman war.
In 2267, the Federation scout ship Ad Aspera crashed on Phygma IV with the loss of all hands, but their distress call was investigated by the starship USS Enterprise. James T. Kirk, Spock, Montgomery Scott and Christine Chapel beamed down to find the wreck being salvaged by Klingons. Under Phygman law, a battle between the two forces using mechanitron walking vehicles determined that the planet would subsequently be allied with the Federation. (TOS comic: "The Menace of the Mechanitrons")
- The planet was presumed to be within the Organian Treaty Zone because neither Klingons nor Starfleet personnel questioned the others' right to be there.
