The system was surveyed as safe by U.S.S. Enterprise just prior to Khan's settlement. The ship's captain, James T. Kirk, exiled Khan and his people there after they attempted to steal his ship.

Unbeknownst to Kirk, the planet was infested with a deadly parasitic bug-like creature that Khan named the Ceti eel. The eel lays young in the ear canal of a human victim, and the worm burrows into the brain, which slowly destroys the victim's mind. The eel killed many of Khan's people, including Khan's wife Marla McGivers, who was once a member of the Enterprise's crew.

Khan's people's experience, from the end of "Space Seed" to the Terrell/Chekov beamdown in "The Wrath of Khan", is non-canonically chronicled in the 2006 novel, "To Reign In Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh".


In addition, years before any of this occurred, Captain Jonathan Archer of the starship Enterprise (NX-01) and Vulcan T'Pol lived here in an alternate future in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Twilight". Due to temporal parasites, Archer had become unable to form new memories. Eventually, the parasites were eliminated from time and this future never took place. This settlement was said to house the last remaining humans in the galaxy; consequently, even if they had been able to fight off the Xindi, they would have still suffered from the explosion of Ceti Alpha VI, which in the "real" time-line had caused Khan and his followers significant trouble. Additionally, it can be assumed that Khan and the other "supermen" would have still been on the Botany Bay sleeper ship, since Kirk's Enterprise would not have existed to be able to find them.

In the science fiction universe of Star Trek, Ceti Alpha V is the fifth planet in the Ceti Alpha star system, consisting of a Class M, or Earth-like environment.

Khan spent 15 years on the hellish world until years later, Ceti Alpha V was mistakenly visited by the science ship U.S.S. Reliant.
Ceti Alpha VI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (452 words)
As a result of this explosion the balance of life on Ceti Alpha V was altered significantly.
This explosion's shockwave caused Ceti Alpha V to move further away from the sun until it occupied Ceti Alpha VI's former orbit, thus explaining the Reliant crew's mistaking it for Ceti Alpha VI.
It is also worth noting that most of the movie's explanation suggests that the Ceti Alpha V travelled outward (instead of sunward) as a result of the explosion of a planet that was behind it and apparently linearly with it; an unlikely scenario given the known non-linear arrangement of bodies in our solar system.
