Khitomer system

The Khitomer system was an inhabited planetary system in the Beta Quadrant. This system was located within a sector disputed over by the Klingon Empire and Romulan Star Empire in the 24th century. With the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire in 2387 following a supernova that destroyed the empire's capital system, the Klingon Empire gained full control of the sector and Khitomer.

In 2346, this outpost was destroyed by Romulans in what would later become known as the Khitomer Massacre. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; TNG: "Sins of The Father", display graphic)
