Benzar, known as Pheradon to its native Benzites, is the third planet in the Gamma Xertia system and a Federation member world.
Benzar is the only habitable world in the system, it has two moons; Herti and Dwora and a huge spaceborne city in orbit called Merria, a major port and repair facility in the sector, that, in the 2360s, was in consideration to be given starbase status.
Benzar is a class M planet but the atmosphere also contains a number of rare gases which are inert to all other humanoid life forms but essential for the Benzites who have to wear special breathing apparatus when off world to supply them with these rare gases.
During the Dominion War, Benzar was one of the Federation worlds conquered by the Dominion. The planet was later liberated by the Romulans.
