Solarion IV was the fourth planet in the Solarion system, in the Alpha Quadrant. Located along the Federation-Cardassian border, it was the home for a Federation colony.
In 2368, the Cardassians destroyed the colony in a plot to frame the Bajorans. Survivors were evacuated to Lya Station Alpha by the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Ensign Ro")
The location of Solarion IV was labeled on a tactical map during the Dominion War. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", display graphic)
This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
According to the script, the pronunciation for Solarion was "soh-LEHR-ee-un". [1]
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 47; "United Federation of Planets I") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), in the years after the attack, a new colony had been founded on Solarion IV and, by 2378, had become a Federation member.
