(The root of all realities)


The star Aldebaran was a K-Type star located 68 light-years from the Sol system, where it was named and sighted as one of the brightest in the night sky by Earth's ancient inhabitants. Aldebaran was also known by its old Earth Bayer classification of Alpha Tauri.[1] It had at least five planets,[2] one of which was home to the Aldebaran Music Academy,[3] as well as the Aldebaran Colony[4] and planet Aldebaran III.[3][5] Doctor Elizabeth Dehner joined the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from the Aldebaran Colony.[4] One of the species native to Aldebaran was the Aldebaran shellmouth.[6]
