A 32nd-century world whose chancellor is due to visit Starfleet's War College, prompting lessons in Alpherati custom in the Starfleet Academy episode Series Acclimation Mil.
Alpherat is a planet mentioned in Series Acclimation Mil, the fifth episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. It is the home of Chancellor Amal, whose goodwill could bring a valuable alliance. The planet is not visited and Amal does not appear in the episode.
Kelrec, who heads the War College, is so anxious to perform the Alpherati welcoming ritual correctly that his preparations coincide with a loss of power at the Academy. Chancellor Nahla Ake, who has an old quarrel with him, offers to help and brings in the Doctor and Jett Reno to coach him in the customs.
The lessons go well until Kelrec decides the others are not taking them seriously. He admits that he resents Ake for leaving Starfleet fifteen years earlier, and the two finally settle their differences. The subplot runs alongside the main story, which follows the cadet SAM.
