A planet in the lawless Borderland between Klingon and Orion territory where the Orion Syndicate runs a slave-processing station, raided by Captain Archer in the Enterprise episode Borderland.
Verex III is the site of an Orion slave market in the Borderland, the unstable region between the Klingon Empire and the Orion Syndicate. It appears in the Enterprise episode Borderland, set in 2154.
Enterprise enters the area with the imprisoned geneticist Arik Soong aboard, hunting the Augments he raised. Orion ships attack and carry off nine of the crew, T'Pol among them, and Soong guides Archer to Verex III, where captives are held with neural restraints and sold at auction.
Archer and Soong go down posing as buyers and see T'Pol put up for sale. Archer disables the restraint system and the freed prisoners overrun the market, allowing the crew to be beamed out. Soong tries to slip away in the confusion but is recaptured.
