Black Cluster
Black Cluster (TNG-211)
A spatial anomaly formed from the collapse of hundreds of nearby proto-stars; the massive gravitational fluctuations, or wavefronts, that resulted were violent, highly unpredictable and distorted sensor readings. The black cluster in Sector 97—at nine billion years old, one of the most ancient formations in the Milky Way—was seven times more massive and the most violent ever encountered, probably due to its size. Unintentional amplification of the wavefront intensities wrecked the S.S. Vico and almost destroyed the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.[1]

Binary Star System (TNG-191)
A previously uncharted and unnamed system, where the U.S.S. Brattain NCC-21166 was found caught in a Tyken’s Rift, an unusual rupture of space that was undetectable by most sensors. A subspace distress call from the Tyken’s Rift and answering aid from a ship would take at least two weeks.[1]

Binary Star System (Kavis Alpha Sector)
Kavis Alpha Binary Star System (TNG-150)
A spectacular system in the Kavis Alpha Sector. Its red supergiant‘s matter was pulled off by the gravity of its neutron companion. This occured until the neutron star accumulated too much surface matter and regularly exploded every 196 years. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D watched from 40 million kilometers away in 2365, when Dr. Paul Stubbs‘ probe was finally launched to study it.[1]

Binary Star System (Gamma Quadrant)
A Gamma Quadrant system near the Bajoran wormhole, apparently left uncharted by the Quadros-1 Probe, which included a system of at least seven planets, none Class-M, an asteroid belt, and approximately 24 moons. Long-range scans were ineffective due to excessive delta radiation from the stars, but the sixth world had three moons, and the seventh apparently had none. A moon of the third planet had craters and an altered atmosphere that reanimated all those who died while on the moon and caused them to become dependent on its nanite microbes for living, but immortal while there. Some Ennis and Nol-Ennis were imprisoned there because of their inability to end hostilities; a network of satellites guarded the planet to keep visitors away. The Bajoran spiritual leader, Kai Opaka, was revived by the nanites after being killed there in 2369, and she elected to stay on the planet to try to bring peace to the warring inhabitants.[1]

Bilana III
Bilana III (TNG-210)
A light blue world with wispy clouds, its Science Institute served as the base of operations for the Soliton Wave test. Only three light-years from Lemma II, the planet was apparently in a sector near Earth‘s, judging by Helena Rozhenko‘s quick decision to hop a transport. It was not specified whether Dr. Ja’Dar‘s race was native to the planet.[1]

B’hava’el System
G-Type Star (STSC)
System with a G-Type star, circled by 14 planets, two of which were inhabited. Commonly known as the Bajor system, for its largest and most populated world, the system’s official name is taken from its parent star, B’hava’el.[4] The system regained its independence after decades of Cardassian occupation,[1] and relatively soon thereafter became a Federation member world.[3] It took an average of 29 seconds for a Galor-class warship to leave Cardassian space and arrive in Bajoran space.

Betreka Nebula
Though the details were not specified, an incident there between the Klingons and Cardassians led to hostilities between the two empires for 18 years.[1]

Betazed (STSC)

Betazed Surface (TNG-172)
The Class-M homeworld of the Betazoid race, a Federation member, was Earth-like in appearance with large blue oceans. It was within a standard shuttlecraft’s range of Starbase G-6. It hosted a biennial trade conference circa Stardate 43930, when Counselor Deanna Troi, her mother, Ambassador Lwaxana Troi, and Commander William Riker were abducted by the Ferengi from one of its large parklands.[2] The Trois lived near Lake El-Nar until Kestra, Deanna’s older sister, died. Mr. Homn, Lwaxana’s personal assistant, resided there when not accompanying her.[3] Troi commented that Angel I‘s government reminded her of that on Betazed; it was not clear whether she meant the constitutional oligarchy or its matriarchal social structure.[1]

Beta Thoridar System
A star system within the Klingon Empire. The House of Duras regrouped at the system after the initial attack on Gowron‘s cruiser failed.[1]
