Kelrabi system

The Kelrabi system was an inhabited star system located inside Cardassian space in Sector 21505, Alpha Quadrant.

Components

Stellar system

This was a single star system. The primary Kelrabi was a M-type star.

History

The Cardassians established a research station in this system.

In 2367, after the destruction of the Cuellar research station, the Kelrabi station and other stations in the sector experienced an added burden. When Captain Benjamin Maxwell wanted to convince Starfleet of secret Cardassian preparations for a new war, he used his ship, the USS Phoenix, to intercept a supply ship headed for this system. Though the ship was using a high energy subspace field to jam sensors, Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise-D refused to board the ship and instead arrested Maxwell. (TNG: "The Wounded")
