Laap system
The Laap system or Laapeerian system was a planetary system. It contained three planets: two J-class gas giants and a M-class planet inhabited by the Lapeerians. The innermost body in the system was an unstable planetoid rich in radiolytic isotopes, orbiting just off the ecliptic.

In 2381, the Federation starships  and  conducted a first contact mission to Lapeeria. The Cerritos was to wait outside the system while the Archimedes approached the planet, so as to avoid alarming the Lapeerians. During the mission, an unpredicted solar flare shattered the planetoid, creating a massive debris field that struck and disabled the Archimedes. The Cerritos was able to traverse the debris field and prevent the Archimedes from crashing into Lapeeria. ()

Background information 
The first schematic of the system in the episode shows one of the gas giants and Lapeeria both in the fourth orbital path, and no planets in the second orbital path. A later schematic shows the gas giants in the second and fourth orbital paths, no planet in the third orbital path, and Lapeeria in the fifth and sixth orbital paths.
