The Talos Star Group was a globular cluster<ref name="Maps"/> located in [[United Federation of Planets (FASA)#Quadrant III|Quadrant III of the United Federation of Planets]],<ref name="FASA2011"/> and was composed primarily of [[Stellar Classes#F-Type|white dwarf stars]] and "stellar corpses," which were systems now devoid of life.<ref name="WoF"/> Also within the group was a binary system that had eleven planets<ref name="TOS00"/> in orbit of the system's [[Stellar Classes#M-Type|red giant]].<ref name="Maps"/> The system's five inner planets were remarkable for their highly eccentric orbits; in fact, no two worlds lay in the same orbital plane,<ref name="TOS00"/> a phenomenon believed to be the result of ancient planetary engineering. The remaining six planets, all [[Planetary Classes (FASA)#Class B|gas giants]] with no natural satellites, had conventional orbits.<ref name="WoF"/>

Of the system's inner planets, [[Talos IV (FASA)|Talos IV]] was a [[Planetary Classes (FASA)#Class M|Class M planet]]. In [[2178 (FASA)|2178]], the [[S.S. Columbia (FASA)|S.S. ''Columbia'']] disappeared after checking in near the Talos Star Group, where it crashed on Talos IV. Nearly twenty years later, in [[2196 (FASA)|2196]], the [[Talosians (FASA)|Talosians]] lured the [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 (FASA)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' NCC-1701]] to Talos IV. The Talos Star Group had never been explored, and the [[United Federation of Planets (FASA)|Federation]] had no ships or colonies that far out at the time.<ref name="TOS00"/>
