Kappa Tucanae was a star system in the Beta Quadrant. (ENT: "Cold Front")

Components

Stellar system

This was a quintenary star system. The system was organized into a single star system and a pair of binary star systems.

The primary Kappa Tucanae Aa was found in one of the binary systems. This was a F-type subgiant. Its' companion Kappa Tucanae B was a G-type dwarf. Near this system, there was the small companion Kappa Tucanae Ab.

Orbiting these three stars, there was another binary system. Both Kappa Tucanae C and Kappa Tucanae D were K-type dwarfs.

Stellar cartography

The Kappa Tucanae system was visible from Earth in the constellation Tucana. It was approximately 68.3 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))

Appendices

Background information

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 Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), the Kappa Tucanae system was shown to be in or near to Romulan space.

The star chart seen in the series Star Trek: Enterprise made its first appearance in Crewman Daniels quarters in "Cold Front". It was also seen in several other episodes of the series, from 2151 to 2154. (For more information, see Federation star charts#United Earth Alpha/Beta star chart)
