History

In 2368, the Cardassians destroyed the colony on Solarion IV in a plot to frame the Bajorans. After receiving an emergency distress signal, the USS Enterprise-D headed to the system but did not arrive in time. The incident bore out a concern by Mister Mott, the Enterprise barber, who believed that colonies should not be placed so close to the Cardassians. (TNG: "Ensign Ro")

The location of Solarion IV was labeled on a tactical map during the Dominion War. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", display graphic)

This system's quadrant of origin was inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
In the script, the pronunciation for Solarion was "soh-LEHR-ee-un". [1]
Information on the system's primary came from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 47) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385").
