Agurtha was an M-class planet in the Romulan Star Empire, along the rimward side of the Romulan Neutral Zone. The planet had no native sapient life, but sported numerous forms of fauna and flora. In the 24th century, the Empire maintained an outpost and colony on the planet.
The Agurthan Outpost was one of the more popular assignments along the Romulan side of the Neutral Zone. Most of the Empire's border outposts were located on desolate K and J class planetoids and asteroids, in pressure domes or space stations. In contrast, Agurtha was also a thriving Romulan colony world, seen as a symbol to all who would challenge the destiny of the Romulan people to conquer the stars.
Located in the same sector as the Hellaro Corva research station, the Tal Shiar closely monitored the Agurthan Outpost and all traffic through the region. Many Tal Shiar operatives were placed on the planet, and an official Tal Shiar liaison was assigned to work with the outpost's commander. The Tal Shiar insisted those were merely "routine" measures, but the commander and senior staff of the outpost suspected there was more going on, although the nature of the Hellaro Corva facility's research was not commonly known.
