Located on the third planet[1] of four in the Aldebaran system,[2] the Aldebaran Colony[3] was a major Federation port with Class 3 facilities.[2] Doctor Elizabeth Dehner joined the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from the Aldebaran Colony,[3] and the Aldebaran Music Academy was located there as well.[1]

The New Aberdeen Naval Yards,[2] located on eastern coast of Aldebaran III's primary continent,[4] were the sixth largest in the Federation[2] and a major producer of dreadnought and heavy cruiser-type vessels for Star Fleet; the ship components were assembled on the surface and ferried to a major orbital spacedock facility.[4] Aldebaran III's unspoiled wilderness was a popular tourist attraction. A small population of under one million was centered around New Aberdeen, which also had a Star Fleet supply center and several private shipyards. Native life was generally simple and consisted largely of invertebrate sea life,[4] such as the Aldebaran shell-mouth,[2] a slow-moving mollusk that existed in great numbers in the saltwater shallows, and was widely prized as a delicious menu item; it served as a staple of many seaside restaurants on the planet.[4]
