Pacifica

Pacifica is the common name for an ocean planet in the Alpha Quadrant. A member of the Federation, Pacifica is known for its warm blue waters and fine white beaches, which make it a jewel of the galaxy. (Star Trek: Star Charts; Star Trek: Titan)

Pacifica is home to a variety of sentient lifeforms. The indigenous inhabitants of Pacifica are known as Selkie. Humans, Betazoids, Risans and other humanoid species have lived on the planet since it was colonized by the Federation.

History
Pacifica was the subject of an oceanographic study headed by Doctor Gillian Taylor in the early 24th century. The project was based on on drift-station on the ocean surface dubbed Madrigal. Among the projects members was a humpback whale named Harpo. Circa 2310 Pacifica was selected as a testbed for a modified Genesis Device created by Dr. Carol Marcus. These tests were halted when a race of sentient beings were discovered hidden in the depths of the ocean. (SNW II: "The Hero of My Own Life")

The USS Enterprise-D was en route to a scientific mission to Pacifica in 2364, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard diverted it to Dytallix B for a secret meeting. The stop to Pacifica was cancelled due to ensuing events. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

In 2365, a conference was held on Pacifica concerning the admission of the Antedeans into the Federation. The Enterprise was assigned to transport two Antedean dignitaries to the planet, as well as Ambassador Lwaxana Troi. (TNG: "Manhunt")

Timothy Sinclair and Mary Barranco were married on Pacifica in 2385 (in the Pendragon timeline). (Star Trek: Pendragon)
