The planet whose first contact with the Federation is nearly ended in 2381 when the disabled USS Archimedes begins falling towards it, threatening an extinction-level impact.
Lapeeria is a planet seen in the Lower Decks second-season finale, First First Contact. The Cerritos is assigned to support the USS Archimedes, commanded by Sonya Gomez, as it makes first contact with the world's inhabitants.
A solar flare sets off an explosion nearby, and the resulting field of ionised debris knocks out the Archimedes, leaving it adrift on a course that will bring it down on Lapeeria with catastrophic force. No other ship is close enough, and the Cerritos cannot pass through the debris field with its hull plating in place.
Captain Freeman has the crew strip the outer hull by hand, and Boimler swims through Cetacean Ops to release the last panels. The bare ship reaches the Archimedes and hauls it clear, and Gomez goes on to complete the contact while crediting the Cerritos.
