Picard convinces Kirk to return to Picard's present to help stop the villain Soran from destroying Veridian III's sun.

Picard and Data realize that Soran is altering the path of the ribbon by collapsing stars, and determine that Soran will attempt to reenter the Nexus on Veridian III by destroying its star — and, by extension, a heavily-populated planet in the system.

The two leave the Nexus, arriving on Veridian III minutes before Soran launches the missile.

* Star Trek Generations ( 1994 ): Palmdale, although not mentioned by name in the film, was the filming location of the scenes where Captain Jean Luc Picard and Captain James T. Kirk battle with Dr. Tolian Soran on the surface of Veridian III.

To achieve returning to the Nexus, Soran intends on destroying stars in order to cause the Nexus ( due to loss of the stars ' gravity ) to pass through Veridian III.

On arrival in the Veridian system, the Duras sisters appear and offer to trade La Forge for Picard.

Although the saucer section was safely separated before the breach, the shock wave from the exploding engineering hull threw it out of control, and caused it to crash land on Veridian III.

The novel begins on the planet Veridian III and takes place shortly after the events seen in the motion picture Star Trek Generations.

Worf and Troi ended their relationship following the destruction of the Enterprise-D at Veridian III and Worf's reassignment to Deep Space Nine.

The explosion of the engineering section causes the saucer to crash on Veridian III.

Allen served as chief executive officer of Space Industries International, Washington, D. C., and later was chairman of Veridian, until he retired in 2004.

General Dynamics announced its acquisition of Veridian on June 9, 2003.

In its last appearance, during Star Trek Generations, the ship's stardrive section is lost as a result of a warp core breach, and the saucer section crash lands on the surface of Veridian III.

The resulting shockwave impacts the saucer, disabling propulsion and other primary systems, sending it into Veridian III's atmosphere.

He also founded the Region of Durham's Youth Partnership Initiative, the City of Pickering's Winterfest and was a member of the Board of Directors for Veridian Corporation.

Calspan was the first in a series of corporate owners that have included Arvin Industries, Space Industries International, Veridian Corporation and General Dynamics.

Mrs. Bronson, unable to cope with the literally unbearable conditions of the raging sun, deliriously claims that she can feel the coolness and delightfully splashes the imaginary water before she collapses to the floor and dies.

As the time-dilation device on Halla cannot keep the Replicators bottled up forever, Thor collapses Halla's sun into a black hole, but some Replicators escape.

A group of scientists from Saro University begins to make a series of related discoveries: Sheerin 501, a psychologist, researches the effects of prolonged exposure to darkness, Siferra 89, an archaeologist, finds evidence of multiple cyclical collapses of civilization regularly occurring approximately every two thousand years, and Beenay 25 is an astronomer who discovered irregularities in the orbit of Lagash around its primary sun Onos.

Beenay combines what he has learned about the repetitive collapses at the digsite, and the new theory with the potential of eclipses and concludes that once every 2049 years the one sun visible is eclipsed, resulting in a brief ' night '.

For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

Pansies are supposed to like it cool, but those great velvety flowers were healthy and perky in the glaring sun.

At one astronomical unit from the sun ( the Earth's distance ) the dust orbits are probably nearly circular.

Since these electrons are moving like planets, you may wonder whether there is an atomic sun at the center of the atom.

Adobe structures are constructed with bricks created from sand, clay, and water, with some fibrous or organic material, shaped using frames and dried in the sun.

In Shinto, spirits of nature, or kami, are believed to exist everywhere, from the major ( such as the goddess of the sun ), which can be considered polytheistic, to the minor, which are more likely to be seen as a form of animism.

Some parts at least of the figure above mentioned are solar symbols, and the Basilidian Abrasax is manifestly connected with the sun.

The Light-elves are fairer to look upon than the sun, but the Dark-elves are blacker than pitch.

152-153 .</ ref > The moon and sun are likewise considered to be flat and floating on streams of air, and when the sun sets it does not pass under the earth but is merely obscured by higher parts of the earth as it circles around and becomes more distant ; the motion of the sun and the other celestial bodies around the earth is likened by Anaximenes to the way that a cap may be turned around the head .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

Rainbows are formed when densely compressed air is touched by the rays of the sun .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

Sometimes they are also outfitted with irrigation systems or heat sink-systems which can respectively irrigate the plants or help to store energy from the sun and redistribute it at night ( when the greenhouses starts to cool down ).

On bare ground or roads during the winter, various species of snakes and lizards bask in the sun, but they are rarely seen during the summer months.

Plants are the fundamental base of nearly all food chains because they use the energy from the sun and nutrients from the soil and atmosphere, converting them into a form that can be consumed and utilized by animals ; this is what ecologists call the first trophic level.

There are on average almost 300 days of sun and 700 mm of rain per year.

They would be provided slight shelter from the sun by the corn, and would deter many animals from attacking the corn and beans because their coarse, hairy vines and broad, stiff leaves are difficult or uncomfortable for animals such as deer and raccoons to walk through, crows to land on, etc.

Beans are a heliotropic plant, meaning that the leaves tilt throughout the day to face the sun.

Periods in a calendar ( such as years and months ) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon.

During the winter, storms blowing from the Sahara sometimes form dense dust clouds that obscure the sun ; however, sunny days are the norm year round.

This is because they are Umbria areas, situated in the north hillsides or slopes of the mountainous areas, oriented behind the sun in the northern hemisphere, in the shadyside orographic.

Appear mostly occupying favorable areas named geographically Umbrias, this is north hillsides or slopes of the mountainous areas that are oriented behind the sun, be cause the islands are in the northern hemisphere, between 600 and 1500 meters, thus benefiting from the humidity provided by the trade winds to form such a sea of clouds.
