'''Aldebaran III''' is the third planet of four in orbit around an orange giant star in a trinary star system. It lies almost on the galactic median, roughly halfway between the [[Cardassian Union]] and the [[Klingon Empire]]. It is only two light years from the Betreka Nebula. An early [[Federation]] colony, Aldebaran is a major Federation port world with extensive leave facilities.<br />
<br />
The Alpha Tauri System also contains a red dwarf star, which orbits the primary at a distance of 97.5 billion kilometers. A vast trail of mineral and ice debris extends outward for millions of kilometers behind the red dwarf as it travels its circular path, somewhat like the tail of a comet, and the brightly reflective trail is a beautiful addition to the Aldebaran night sky.<br />
<br />
The [[New Aberdeen Ship Yards]], located on the eastern coast of Aldebaran's primary continent, is the sixth largest in the Federation and is a major producer of dreadnaught and heavy cruiser-type vessels. The ship components, assembled at the ground-based facility, are ferried into orbit and fitted in a major orbital spacedock center.<br />
<br />
A small humanoid population of approximately 3 million Aldebaran colonists is centered around New Aberdeen, which also has a [[Starfleet]] supply center and several private shipyards. These industrial facilities provide employment for a majority of the Aldebarans. The planet is also home to the [[Aldebaran Music Academy]] and a campus of the [[Tri-Planetary Academy]]. The rest of the population is spread widely over the planet.<br />
<br />
The native animal life of Aldebaran is generally quite simple, consisting largely of invertebrate sea life. The Aldebaran [[shellmouth]], a slow-moving mollusk that exists in great numbers in the saltwater shallows, is widely prized as a delicious menu item and is a staple of the many seashore restaurants on the planet. [[Aldebaran whiskey]] is considered some of the finest made in the galaxy.<br />
