This one's from "Miner (The Bride of Peladon)", referring to a piece of pure trisilicate he's showing to his father whilst Elkin claims he's digging in the wrong place. (Disc 1, Track 7: "Elkin Wants To See You", at 0:53)

"Whyn't you take it back to Expert Elkin, then? Tell him to stick it where the suns don't shine? Or better still, tell him to go back home to Vega Nexos and send up a replacement who knows what he's talking about?"

Yeah, that "go back home" thing cements it. It's probably a mistake on Barnaby's part that he's mixed up planet names and character names, but narratively, within the text of Bride, it just cannot refer to anything other than a planet. A planet with the same name as Vega Nexos (The Monster of Peladon), but still a planet. Or at the very least, an offworld location.
