Tondus is a class M planet and the homeworld of the advanced Tondusian civilization. It is located in a star system near the Romulan Neutral Zone.
History[]
In 2267, Tondus's capital city was occupied by forces from the Romulan Empire. Shortly afterward, a Romulan agent posing as Federation Ambassador Courtenay Marshall accompanied the starship USS Enterprise to Tondus on a diplomatic mission. Shortly after being given a tour of the capital city, the landing party was imprisoned, with plans to replace them with Romulan agents who could command the Enterprise and lead a fleet of Tondusian strike craft from Tondus to Earth. Luckily, Starfleet became suspicious and alerted the Enterprise. Montgomery Scott launched four armed class F shuttlecraft into the planet's stratosphere to engage Tondusian ships, rescue the missing landing party, and capture the Romulan agents.
