Star Trek

Common name for at least two different stars and their systems. One, long well-known in Federation circles, is home to a medical facility on its fourth planet where Beverly Crusher interned in 2352. Another, more distant system includes a yellow star with at least four planets, undergoing unusually large-scale magnetic field changes with accompanying solar flares circa stardate 41650. Picard's crew visited the inhabited Ornara and Brekka in 2364, 200 years after the last contact by a Federation scout ship; one was on the verge of space flight, but neither had advanced much beyond that stage.
