Star Trek: 10 Worlds You MUST Visit

2. Risa

Feeling harassed and hounded by your crew to get some R&R? Desperately seeking jamaharon or never heard of a horga'hn? Planning on taking the planet by storm or just want to do a spot of archaeology and learn the lingo with the locals? Whatever the reasons for your stay, Risa has it all — two suns, crystal coves, (technically) no weapons, and even fewer clothes.

At one time a rather dank and drizzly place, Risa was terraformed to within an old-Earth inch of its natural life by its sex-positive inhabitants to become the glistening pleasure planet it is today. Remember what happens on Risa… might well end up being part of a time-travel plot. Don’t spend your time looking for the Tox Uthat — quantum phase inhibitors will halt nuclear fusion and your fun!

Consider getting your knees wet (if you have them) wading out for seafood in Suraya Bay before attending the Festival of the Moons. Watch out whilst climbing the cliffs of Galartha, as they change pitch, and you might fall off! During his stay, Okuda claims he narrowly avoided being 'led to the subterranean gardens' just to be stripped down to his undergarments, but he was a little more cagey about a certain Ktarian game.
