Verex III was the inhabited third planet in its system. It was located in the Borderland. The Orion Syndicate maintained a processing station for slave trade on the planet in the 22nd century. In 2154, nine crew members were abducted from Enterprise NX-01 and taken to Verex III to be auctioned off. Captain Archer was able to gain access to the processing station by using an old authorization code provided by Arik Soong, and discovered a way to disable the neurolytic restraints with which all of the slaves had been outfitted. With Soong's help, Archer disabled all of the restraints, causing a mass escape attempt. In the confusion, Archer was successfully able to rescue his people and escape. (ENT: "Borderland")
