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.

History

By the mid-23rd century, this planet was home to Camp Khitomer. Within decades, the camp became a Klingon colony called the Khitomer Outpost. 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)
