Nausicaa was an inhabited planet in the Beta Quadrant, and was the homeworld of the Nausicaan species.
In 2151, Matthew Ryan suggested that, if Enterprise NX-01 delivered a Nausicaan prisoner back to Nausicaa, the Nausicaans would probably give the returned captive a medal. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
In 2327, Ensign Jean-Luc Picard initiated a bar fight with a group of Nausicaans by insulting, among other things, their planet. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")
