Telossa is a fictional planet featured in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is introduced in the episode "The Outrageous Okona," serving as the homeworld of the titular character, Captain Okona. Telossa is depicted as a planet with a generally peaceful and agrarian society. The Telessans are known for their artistic sensibilities and a deep appreciation for music and dance. Their culture emphasizes community and traditional values.

The planet itself is described as having a temperate climate and fertile lands, supporting a population that lives in harmony with their environment. While not a technologically advanced civilization in the same vein as the Federation, the Telessans possess a unique form of artistry that is highly valued by their people. Captain Okona, despite his roguish demeanor, carries with him aspects of his Telessan heritage, including a certain charm and an aptitude for performance. The brief glimpse into Telessan society in the episode suggests a culture that prioritizes joy and artistic expression over conflict or rapid technological development. The planet has not been revisited in subsequent Star Trek series.
