Vandor IV is a planetoid located in the Vandor system at coordinates 664.8 × 1323.7 × 4949.9. It is in an elliptical orbit around the binary star system.
In 2351, it was selected by Dr. Paul Manheim as the location for his time experiments. Along with his team, he built two laboratories on opposite sides of the planetoid, one of which was located at 20°9'N × 40°2'E.
During the next decade he managed to harness the power of the dense gravity of the pulsar in the system to open a window into another dimension in 2364. This caused an accident that destroyed one of the labs, and created the Manheim Effect, a temporal distortion that started to spread through the galaxy.
The hole was sealed by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, and Manheim remained on Vandor, along with his wife, to continue his work. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")
