The Talos Star Group was a globular cluster[1] located in Quadrant III of the United Federation of Planets,[3] and was composed primarily of white dwarf stars and "stellar corpses," which were systems now devoid of life.[4] Also within the group was a binary system that had eleven planets[5] in orbit of the system's red giant.[1] The system's five inner planets were remarkable for their highly eccentric orbits; in fact, no two worlds lay in the same orbital plane,[5] a phenomenon believed to be the result of ancient planetary engineering. The remaining six planets, all gas giants with no natural satellites, had conventional orbits.[4]

Of the system's inner planets, Talos IV was a Class M planet. In 2178, the S.S. Columbia disappeared after checking in near the Talos Star Group, where it crashed on Talos IV. Nearly twenty years later, in 2196, the Talosians lured the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 to Talos IV. The Talos Star Group had never been explored, and the Federation had no ships or colonies that far out at the time.[5]
