Berengaria VII (also known as Berengaria) was the inhabited seventh planet of the Berengarius system. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. Classified as M Class, this Federation planet had no indigenous intelligent life, but possessed a flourishing ecosystem including a species of dragon-like flying reptiles. Spock visited here sometime prior to the USS Enterprise's arrival at Omicron Ceti III in 2267. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")

Berengaria was located in Sector 008 of the Alpha Quadrant. (The Romulan War: "Berengaria")

The system was in non-aligned space near several major trade routes used by the spacefaring species of the mid-22nd century. Station Salem-One (aka United Earth Starbase One) was built in orbit of Berengaria VII shortly before the beginning of the Earth-Romulan War. The shore leave facilities on the planet were said to be "as close as you could get to Risa within four parsecs," by Brandon Chambers, chairman of the Federation Historical Society in the 24th century. (The Romulan War: "The Romulan War (Part 1)")

Six thousand souls were killed on the starbase and on the planet below during a Romulan attack on September 22, 2155. ("The Romulan War (Part 1)")

The date of this attack is November 8, 2155 in ENT novel: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing. Starbase One is said to be still under construction, and a Vulcan research outpost is on the planet's surface. This became known as the First Battle of Berengaria.

A second battle began on April 21, 2156. (Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

Elias Vaughn was born on Berengaria VII in 2275. (DS9 novel: Mission Gamma: Twilight)

Justin Shive and his family moved from Earth to Berengaria in the 2350s. He left there to attend Starfleet Academy in 2358, and considered Berengaria his home for the rest of his life. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "Faith My Eyes")

Alternate continuities[]

In the continuity of USS Sovereign (NCC-75000) (SFI), at least some of the indigenous dragons are sapient beings.
