It was the home of Thomas Leighton, the researcher who chanced upon the assumed identity of wanted mass murderer Kodos the Executioner. In 2266, Leighton diverted the USS Enterprise to Planet Q so that he could present his suspicions to Captain James T. Kirk. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
Austin Eyler and his brother Alan were born on Planet Q in the 2340s. They were among the few survivors when the colony was attacked and destroyed by Cardassians in 2351. (Star Trek: Pendragon: Building Camelot)
