<<M-113 (also known as Regulus VIII and Fotialla) was the fourth planet of a star system orbiting UFC-113, a yellow dwarf star. The planet was once home to an advanced humanoid civilization, as well as an indigenous species of creature known as the M-113 creature or "salt vampire". (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)
By the 23rd century, the civilization had long-died out and only ancient ruins remained on the planet, and only one "salt vampire" was known to have lived, as the planet turned into a hot and arrid wasteland. The only plant life that survived on the planet were a type of dry bush and the poisonous Borgia plant. Because of the hot and arrid environment, anyone who visited the planet needed to bring a large supply of salt so that they could survive.
In 2261, Professor Robert Crater and his wife, Nancy arrived on the planet, and established an archaeological dig around some of the ruins on the planet. Over the next four years they exported many fascinating discoveries off the planet, but in 2265, the number of items being exported dwindled immensely when Nancy was killed by the last remaining "salt vampire", although this was not discovered until 2266.
Instead of killing the creature, Crater took pity on the creature and it assumed the shape of Nancy and lived with Crater for a year. However, the truth was revealed in late 2266 when the USS Enterprise arrived to perform routine medical examinations of the Craters'. During the encounter several Enterprise crewmen were killed by the vampire before it was ultimately revealed and killed. (TOS episode & novelization: The Man Trap)

(TOS novelization: The Final Frontier)
By the 2280s, Regulus was the location of a Starfleet Intelligence base. part of the Starfleet Intelligence sector 3 command based at nearby Starbase 15. (ST roleplay module: Star Fleet Intelligence Manual)
Regulus III was home to a humanoid civilization who had established relations with the United Federation of Planets. These Human-descended inhabitants had developed a different naming system for the astronomical bodies in the system, naming their home star as Ra and their homeworld as Khepri. The other planets in the system were also given the names of various Egyptian deities. (TOS - Star Trek II Short Stories short story: "The Blaze of Glory")
In the 2260s, Regulus was the site of a battle between the USS Intrepid and the Klingon flagship, IKS Hakask. Suvuk, the captain of Intrepid, scored a decisive victory after offering himself as a hostage, when he escaped from his Klingon captors and stole the entire library computer database from Hakask, shortly before the Organians intervened and disabled weapons on both sides. Suvuk won the Pentares Peace Commendation and a promotion to admiral for his action at Regulus. (TOS novel: My Enemy, My Ally)
During the invasion of the Borg Collective in 2381, Starfleet established its last line of defenses at Regulus. There was no core planet evacuation plan developed by Starfleet should the Borg break through the Regulus defenses. (ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night)
The Regulus system has been listed as a home to the Caitians, although their home system has been identified as 15 Lyncis in other sources.
