The Nequencia colony was a Romulan planet located near the border of the Klingon Empire. (ST reference: Star Charts; ST novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire) By 2409 the initial colony had become a major trade hub for people doing business with Romulan and Reman settlers, and a second colony had been founded for trade and to exploit deposits of lithium and borite on the surface.
