Veridian IV is the fourth of six planets in the Veridian System. It is a Class M world, with an estimated population of 230 million as of 2371. The inhabitants are humanoid, with a society considered pre-industrial in relation to other worlds (and thus, falling under strict Prime Directive protocols). The planet has two moons.

Veridian IV was discovered by Klingons in 2298, but they considered the inhabitants to be "underdeveloped" and the planet not worthy of "resource allocation". They did set up several small scientific outposts on neighboring Veridian III, which was unoccupied. These were abandoned within five years, due to the on-going hostilities with the Romulans.

In 2371, the planet faced annihilation when Dr. Tolian Soran attempted to collapse the system's star. Fortunately, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D and Capt. James T. Kirk were able to stop him. (Star Trek Generations)
