Archer
Archer was a single star system located inside Klingon space in the Beta Quadrant.
Stellar cartography
In 2256, Archer's location was labeled on the star chart "Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview" in the ready room aboard the USS Discovery. (DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", "The War Without, The War Within")
A year later, its location was labeled on the star chart showing the trajectory of Lieutenant Spock's shuttle. (DIS: "An Obol for Charon")
This star system was only mentioned in writing.
The map takes inspiration from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 63) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), which identified Archer as a M-class star. When the Star Trek: Star Charts came out, this location was likely intended to signify Archer IV, but a later episode, "In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II", contradicted that possibility by placing this planet in the 61 Ursae Majoris system.
