Description Inspired by EvanVizuett  and sheepman5003

In Star Trek Generations, Veridian system was a planetary  system  in the Beta Quadrant . It consisted of the primary  Veridian  and six planets, two of which were class M  and one of which, Veridian IV , was inhabited by a pre-warp civilization . It was located not far from the Amargosa system . In 2257 , the system's location  was labeled on the star chart  showing the trajectory  of Lieutenant  Spock 's shuttle .
In an alternate timelineDr.  Tolian Soran  collapsed the Veridian  sun  with a trilithium  device and the entire system was destroyed by a level 12 shock wave .

Planets of the Veridian System.

Veridian: A Yellow dwarf star, it is a G-type star, in the Beta Quadrant , and was located not far from Amargosa . The star was able to sustain life , as the fourth  planet  in the Veridian system was host to a pre-industrial sentient species . In 2371Dr.  Tolian Soran  tried to collapse the star using his trilithium  weapon : the solar probe , which would have changed the course  of the Nexus  ribbon to intersect Veridian III . However, he was prevented from doing so by Captains  Jean-Luc Picard  and James T. Kirk . In an alternate timeline , Soran succeeded and the Nexus took Soran and Jean-Luc before the entire Veridian system was annihilated by the resultant shock wave .

Veridian I: A Light Red Colored Mercury-like planet, it is a non-M Class planet, as seen in movie.
-Veridian I Minor: A Light Red Luna-like moon as seen in movie.

Veridian II: A Orange Mars-like planet, it is a non-M Class planet, as seen in movie.
-Veridian II Minor: A Luna-like moon as seen in movie.
-Veridian II Major: A Luna-like moon as seen in movie.

Veridian III: A Terrestrial planet with uninhabited, Classified as M-class , the planet had three moons . Its surface  contained rocky  mountainous  regions  as well as lush vegetative areas. There were also several large bodies of water . Its ionosphere  created enough interference that it was hard to penetrate by sensors . In 2371 , the position and orbital  path of Veridian III was illustrated in a system map displayed in stellar cartography  aboard the USS  Enterprise-D. Dr.  Tolian Soran  used Veridian III as the final key to his plan to return to the Nexus . He established a small launching site on the planet sometime prior to 2371, needing to destroy the Veridian  star to change the gravitational forces in the sector  and alter the course  of the Nexus to Veridian III. He obtained trilithium  for his weapon from the Duras sisters , and began destroying other stars in order to alter the path of the temporal energy  ribbon towards Veridian III. After discovering his plan aboard the Amargosa observatory , the Enterprise chased Soran to Veridian III, where Captain  Jean-Luc Picard  beamed down to negotiate with him. In the meantime, the Enterprise was attacked  by the Duras sisters. While they were killed when the Enterprise destroyed their ship  with a photon torpedo , they inflicted enough damage to cause a coolant leak  which led to a warp core breach . The saucer section  was safely separated  before the stardrive section  exploded, but the ion shock wave  from the blast left the saucer completely disabled and forced it into the atmosphere  of Veridian III, where it eventually crash landed  in one of the jungle  regions. Dr. Soran eventually succeeded in launching his trilithium weapon, and the resultant collapse of the Veridian star destroyed Veridian III, the Enterprise saucer section, and everything within the Veridian system. Fortunately, Picard was swept into the Nexus along with Soran, and enlisted the help of Captain James T. Kirk . The two captains returned to a few moments before Soran launched the weapon and prevented the launch, saving the Veridian system and Veridian III from destruction. Unfortunately, Kirk was killed in the attempt. Picard buried Kirk on one of the mountains in the area. Three Starfleet  ships, including the USS  Farragut, a  Miranda-class starship , and an  Oberth-class starship , were dispatched to the planet in order to rescue Enterprise survivors . Eventually, the crash-landed saucer of the Enterprise-D was lifted off Veridian III and put on display in the Starfleet Museum .

Veridian IV: A Earth-like Planet with Native to the Veridians, Veridian IV was home to a pre-industrial civilization  of over 230 million inhabitants. After arriving on Starbase  Deep Space 9  in early 2372Worf  told Miles O'Brien  that the cost of saving the civilization on Veridian IV was the loss of the Federation  starship  USS  Enterprise-D. As seen in movie.
