Located a mere 16.5 [[light year|light years]] from the [[Sol system]],<ref name="ENT79"/><ref name="LUG25102"/> the 40 Eridani system<ref name="Decipher7"/><ref name="STSC"/>&mdash; also known as the Vulcan system or the Vulcanis system<ref name="LUG25102"/>&mdash;is a trinary star system consisting of a [[Type K star|Type K1V orange dwarf]] primary<ref name="LUG25102"/><ref name="STSC"/> and two companion stars: a [[Type F star|Type F VII white dwarf]] and a [[Type M star|Type M4V red dwarf]].<ref name="LUG25102"/><ref name="STSC"/> The system's location in the [[Vulcan Sector]] (''aka'' [[Sector 005]]) in the [[Beta Quadrant]],<ref name="STSC"/> is strategically important&mdash;its position at the heart of [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] space<ref name="STSC"/> made it a tempting target for [[Dominion]] forces during the [[Dominion War]].<ref name="DS9543"/>

==Primary Star==
The system's primary star, 40 Eridani A,<ref name="STSC"/> is known to the [[Vulcans]] as ''Ko'vel.''<ref name="LUG25102"/> A Type K1V orange dwarf, ''Ko'vel'' is orbited by three planets. The first planet is [[Class B planet|Class B]].<ref name="STSC"/> The second and third planets&mdash;[[Vulcan]] ([[Class M planet|Class M]]) and [[T'Khut]] ([[Class G planet|Class G]])&mdash;share an orbit, <ref name="ST01"/><ref name="STSC"/> which regularly gave magnificent views of T'Khut from the Vulcan surface.<ref name="ST01"/>

==Companion Stars==
The system's companion stars are 40 Eridani B&mdash;known as Surak, for the founder of Vulcan philosophy&mdash;a Type D VII white dwarf, and 40 Eridani C&mdash;known as Sudoc, who was often considered to be Surak's opposite number&mdash;a Type M4V red dwarf. The stars were thus renamed following the [[Time of Awakening]], as the two stars in the Vulcan sky would represent the dual nature of the Vulcan spirit: logic and emotion, respectively. The stars orbit each other at a distance of 400 [[astronomical unit|AUs]] from ''Ko'vel,'' the system primary.<ref name="LUG25102"/>
