Beta Stromgren system

The Beta Stromgren system was an uninhabited star system in Sector 25434, Beta Quadrant.

It was a single star system with a red supergiant primary Beta Stromgren. The system was in space claimed by the Romulan Star Empire.

A Federation long-range unmanned probe, Vega Nine probe, had charted this system, which lay twenty-three parsecs beyond the limits of manned exploration by thee Federation at the time. This system was destroyed in 2366 when Beta Stromgren became a supernova. (TNG: "Tin Man")

Background information

"STRUM-gren" was the pronunciation for the system's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]

The placement of this system in the Beta Quadrant can be inferred from its closeness to Starbase 152, which was located in this quadrant by a star chart seen in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "An Obol for Charon".

Both the Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets II") and StarTrek.com located the Beta Stromgren system in the Beta Quadrant. [2](X)

In the Bayer designation, which was a system of stellar classification, the Greek letter indicated the brightness of a star in a constellation. In this case, Beta Stromgren would be the 2nd brightest star in its constellation.
