'''Nimbus III''' (or "The Planet of Galactic Peace") is the third planet in the [[Nimbus System]] located in the [[Hobus Sector]]. Although its capital [[Paradise City]] is open for people of any allegiance, [[Hassan the Undying]] and his [[Orion Syndicate]] control most of the planet.

==System description==
{{missiontext|Named the "Planet of Galactic Peace" in 2267 after the Federation-Klingon War, Nimbus III was supposed to be the model for a new age of peace and mutual cooperation. It was instead an inhospitable rock that was soon controlled by gangs and beset by violence. After the Vulcan Sybok briefly occupied the capital of Paradise City in 2287, the Romulans, Klingons, and Federation all pledged funds and assistance to help the planet.

The cleanup effort was a failure, and the population rebelled constantly against anyone they saw as "authority". The last Starfleet officers were evacuated in 2318. Since then the planet has been a haven for criminal operations and unchecked violence.
}}

Despite or perhaps because of its distance from the major powers after the destruction of [[Romulus]], Nimbus III has a diverse population of many different species, including [[Andorian]], [[B'abynii]], [[Bolian]], [[Breen]], [[Caitian]], [[Daxxtarian]], [[Easathir]], [[Ferasan]], [[Ferengi]], [[Gorn]], [[Hirogen]], [[Human]], [[Klingon]], [[Lethean]], [[Liberated Borg]], [[Nausicaan]], [[Orion]], [[Pakled]], [[Reman]], [[Romulan]] and many others. The inhabitants of Nimbus III are collectively referred to as Nimbosians.

==Locations==
===Paradise City===
[[File:Paradise Lost.jpg|thumb|250px|The entrance to Paradise City]]
[[Paradise City]], such as it is, is the capital and only main settlement of the planet Nimbus III. Established in 2267, Paradise City housed the representatives of the three governments in control of Nimbus III, the [[United Federation of Planets]], the [[Romulan Star Empire]] and [[Klingon Empire]].

After the collapse of Diplomatic negotiations and failure of the subsequent clean up efforts, control was lost to the populace, who were mostly undesirables and outcasts.

Ruled by thugs and [[Hassan the Undying]], second in command of the [[Orion Syndicate]], Paradise City is a hotbed of smuggling and thievery.

All missions for Nimbus III are obtained in locations inside the settlement, mostly the bar immediately in front of the main (and only) gate.
