Stellar cartography

The Aldhibain system was visible from Earth in the constellation Draco. It was approximately 92.1 light years from Sol.

In the 2150s, this system's position was labeled on an United Earth star chart which was displayed in several crew and guest quarters aboard the Enterprise. (Star Trek: Enterprise, set decoration)

This star system was only mentioned in writing.
Information on this system was derived from the reference works Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library and real-world sources. The reference works were used extensively in the creation of star charts seen in Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Lower Decks. The real-world information added to the article was current as of 2025.
In the real world, Eta Draconis A was known as Athebyne. For a long time, until 2016 when it was given its formal name by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), it was known as Aldhibayn, a name it shared with Zeta Draconis.
