Background information[]
Edos was the name of the homeworld of The Animated Series's Lt. Arex, as given in a biography published in a 1974 Lincoln Enterprises catalog.[1] The biography noted that Edos was not a Federation member despite Arex being a Starfleet officer. It also noted that Edos was located in the Triangulum constellation, which was located at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, near the galactic barrier.
From StarTrek.com:
Home planet of Lt. Arex, the Enterprise navigator from 2269-70, and the tripodal Edosian race. Edos lies in the Triangulum constellation, on the rim of the galaxy. It is a jumping-off point for science teams studying the great energy barrier beyond the rim. It is also a peaceful planet which has never been involved in a war. The technology is as advanced as Earth's; the architectural style of its cities is strictly functional rather than aesthetically pleasing. The society has no class levels. All beings on Edos are equal.
Edos is not a member of the Federation. Rather, it remains in loose alliance with the Federation, coming under its agreements for trade, science, and aid in an emergency. [2](X)
Edos was also mentioned as Arex's homeworld in Star Trek Log 4.
