Wake Island

Wake Island was a tiny atoll located in Earth's Pacific Ocean, specifically in that region known as the Tropic of Cancer. It was near to the American state of Hawaii and the US territory of Midway Island.

In 2254, when the Talosians downloaded a map of the Pacific region from the library computer of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), Wake Island was one of the areas which was displayed.
