Sherbal V

Stormy planet used as a dumping ground

A harsh world of glass storms where Nick Locarno marooned the unwanted crews of stolen ships, and where Mariner and the Klingon Ma'ah were stranded in 2381.

Sherbal V features in the Lower Decks episode The Inner Fight. Worried by Mariner's recent recklessness, Captain Freeman sends her with Boimler, Tendi and T'Lyn on what should be a safe job, repairing a weather buoy in orbit of the planet.
Their shuttle is destroyed and they beam down to find the surface full of Klingons, Romulans, Orions, Cardassians and others, the crew members left behind when the ships they served on vanished. The groups fight over scarce shelter from storms that rain shards of glass.
Mariner shelters with Ma'ah and at last admits that the death of her Academy friend Sito Jaxa lies behind her fear of promotion. She persuades the stranded factions to work together, but is beamed away by the man responsible, the former cadet Nick Locarno.
