Before Psi 2000's sun, an unstable yellow subdwarf,[1] "went dark," it was very similar to Earth,[2] though slightly larger, with a diameter of 10,000 miles. Psi 2000 was given the catalog designation of ULAPG42821DB, which earned it the nickname of "La Pig" from the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701[3] when the ship was sent to retrieve a scientific team from the surface of Psi 2000 and to observe the planet's collapse on Stardate 1704.2. The gravitational forces from the phenomenon, however, caused water to become a complex molecule, resulting in polywater intoxication.[2] The entire six-person[3] scientific team on the surface died, and the polywater intoxication nearly claimed the Enterprise as well.[2] The last remaining planet in the system, Psi 2000 was reduced to an asteroid belt, and planetary debris began to travel through the system on uncharted trajectories. A danger classification of D-421 was issued for the system, and spacecraft were urged to exercise caution when traveling through it.[1]
