Eden1
A planet long thought mythical, which legend described to be a perfect paradise. Dr. Sevrin became convinced that the planet Eden was real and in 2269 he attempted to reach it by stealing the Federation space cruiser, Aurora, but he and his party were captured by the USS Enterprise. However, he was able to hijack the Starship and make his way to Eden, which lay within Romulan space. Sevrin was a carrier of synthococcus novae, and believed that living on Eden would cure him of the disease completely. However on arrival the planet was found to be lethally poisonous - every single plant was suffused with acid so strong that merely touching it for a few moments produced serious chemical burns. Dr. Sevrin and one of his followers, Adam, were killed attempting to eat fruit on the planet. The others were rescued.1
