Tenber VII was a ringed gas giant planet in or near Federation space. Late in the year 2375 or early in 2376, a Starfleet advance scout ship detected evidence of dilithium and ultritium in the planet's rings. Later that year, Starfleet assigned the Starfleet Corps of Engineers crew based on the USS da Vinci to Tenber VII, to construct a mobile mining platform and refinery—later dubbed "Whiteflower Station"—to explore the rings and extract the valuable ores.
