Mercaniad was a star and associated star system, located over 300 parsecs from Federation space.

History and specifics[]

Mercaniad was very unstable, and affected the orbiting planet Mercan and its inhabitants, the Mercan civilization, in what they called the Ordeal.

When the Federation starship USS Enterprise was catapulted to Mercan in the year 2270, the Enterprise stabilized the star to safeguard the inhabitants from further occurrences of the Ordeal. (TOS novel: The Abode of Life)
