A Class K world, Camus II was the second planet of four[1] in the Camus system[2] and was once home to a highly advanced race[4] that apparently never developed space flight.[1] The extensive ruins they left behind were the subject of xenoarchaeology teams in the 23rd century, including a device that was found to have the ability to exchange life energies from one person to another.[4]
In 2210, Dr. Janice Lester killed all of the members of her team except for Dr. Arthur Coleman in order to keep the discovery of the device a secret, before using the device to switch bodies with Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[4]
By Reference Stardate 2/2306 (June 2223), Camus II was a full member of the United Federation of Planets and supported a population of 1.25 billion, most of which were Human, and the planet's primary concerns were industry and hosting a Star Fleet support base.[2]
