Pluto was a Class C[1] dwarf planet on the edge of the Sol system.[4][1] In 1996, Pluto was depicted as the ninth planet in the Sol System on a poster in Rain Robinson‘s office at Griffith Observatory;[5] in 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701's computers showed a map to Nomad, depicting Pluto as the ninth planet in the system.[4] In 2294, the maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B was planned as "a quick run around the block," taking the ship from Earth, out past Pluto, then back to the inner system; a distress call from the S.S. Lakul, however, necessitated a change of plans.[6] For centuries, Pluto switched back and forth from being considered a planet[4] or not.[3] The debate was rendered moot, however, when the Borg destroyed Pluto in |2380.[3]
