Argon

Argon was a chemical element, number 18 on the periodic table. Argon was colorless, odorless and inert, was present to a small extent in many atmospheres, and was obtained as a byproduct from the liquefaction and separation of air.

In 2267, the Galileo crash-landed on Taurus II, near the Murasaki 312. The crew found the atmosphere breathable, an oxygen-nitrogen mixture, with traces of argon, neon, and krypton, not dissimilar to that of Earth. 

The Azure Nebula, a class 11 nebula, was composed primarily of oxygen and argon, with other compounds. 

Larger quantities of argon were found in atmospheres of class H planets or moons. Class L planets also had high quantities of argon in their atmospheres. 

The destruction of the Caretaker's array in 2371 left vapor composed of hydrogen, helium, mercury, and argon. 

The planet Ahmedeen had seas of liquid argon. 

A class T nebula encountered by the USS Voyager in 2376 was composed of hydrogen, helium, and argon.
