The Talaxian colony was a settlement on Rinax, a moon of the planet Talax. Neelix resided at the colony with his family. Neelix once commented that from the surface of Talax you could see the lights of the colony. Since he said "the colony" instead of "colonies," it implies that this may have been the only settlement on Rinax. The Rinax marshlands and the Sun fields were in close proximity to the Talaxian colony. (VOY episodes: "Jetrel", "Friendship One" and ST reference: Star Trek Cookbook)
