Panorama of Nimbus III
Nimbus III (or "The Planet of Galactic Peace") is the third planet in the Nimbus System located in the Hobus Sector. Although its capital Paradise City is open for people of any allegiance, Hassan the Undying and his Orion Syndicate control most of the planet.
System description[ | ]
The cleanup effort was a failure, and the population rebelled constantly against anyone they saw as "authority". The last Starfleet officers were evacuated in 2318. Since then the planet has been a haven for criminal operations and unchecked violence.
Despite or perhaps because of its distance from the major powers after the destruction of Romulus, Nimbus III has a diverse population of many different species, including Andorian, B'abynii, Bolian, Breen, Caitian, Daxxtarian, Easathir, Ferasan, Ferengi, Gorn, Hirogen, Human, Klingon, Lethean, Liberated Borg, Nausicaan, Orion, Pakled, Reman, Romulan and many others. The inhabitants of Nimbus III are collectively referred to as Nimbosians.

Locations[ | ]
Paradise City[ | ]
The entrance to Paradise City
Paradise City, such as it is, is the capital and only main settlement of the planet Nimbus III. Established in 2267, Paradise City housed the representatives of the three governments in control of Nimbus III, the United Federation of Planets, the Romulan Star Empire and Klingon Empire.
After the collapse of Diplomatic negotiations and failure of the subsequent clean up efforts, control was lost to the populace, who were mostly undesirables and outcasts.
Ruled by thugs and Hassan the Undying, second in command of the Orion Syndicate, Paradise City is a hotbed of smuggling and thievery.
All missions for Nimbus III are obtained in locations inside the settlement, mostly the bar immediately in front of the main (and only) gate.

Extending east of Paradise City, the desert is home to dangerous wildlife.
Ancient Ruins[ | ]
Located Northwest of Paradise City, the ruins were a meeting place for the Orion Syndicate before they were overrun by Aehallh worms.
Stronghold Approach[ | ]
Located to the Northeast of Paradise City, the remains of a crashed starship serve as the approach to the stronghold of the Orion Syndicate. Hassan the Undying's stronghold, Shangdu, is located here, as is an outdoor prison used by the Syndicate.
