The NGC-994 system consisted of eight planets orbiting a Magnitude Six red dwarf star, [[NGC-994]], in an extreme forward quadrant of [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] space. [[Aleriad]], the fourth planet in the system, was the only [[Class M planet]], although [[Eruna]], the sixth planet, showed signs of being within the paramaters of Class M at one time. The fifth planet, known as [[Azheril]] by the [[Alerians]], was torn apart in the mid-23rd century by Eruna's gravitational field when the two worlds passed within 750,000 kilometers of one another. There were only five other planetary bodies in the system, none of which had any satellites.

System Data
Affiliation: None
Location: Beta Quadrant[Notes 1]
System Type: Single
Spectral Class: M6V
Planets: Seven, including Aleriad and Eruna
Other Stellar Objects: Debris field, formerly the fifth planet, Azheril

NGC-994 was located in an extreme forward quadrant of Federation space, and was orbited by seven (formerly eight) planets. By the late 23rd century, the star was in the latter stages of its post-expansion development,[1] and was classified as Type M6V,[2] or a "red dwarf." According to stereoscopic mass analysis, the star's output was expected to continue to weaken for roughly 8.5 million years.[1]

Aleriad, the fourth planet in the system, was the only Class M planet, although the sixth planet, Eruna, showed signs of once being within Class M paramaters. The fifth planet, known as Azheril by the Alerians, was torn apart in the mid-23rd century by Eruna's gravitational field when the two worlds passed within 750,000 kilometers of one another. There were only five other planetary bodies in the system, none of which had any satellites.[1]

First surveyed by the U.S.S. Drake on Stardate 4740, the debris from Azheril was found to be on a steep elliptical orbit around its parent star that took it on a collision course with Aleriad; the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was sent to lead a task force to make first contact and save as many Alerians as possible.[1]

The region was frequented by Orion privateers in the 23rd century.[1]

Notes

  1. The proximity of the Klingons and Orions indicates that, per Star Trek: Star Charts, this system must be located in the Beta Quadrant.
