Wolf 424

Wolf 424 was a planetary system located in a sector of the Beta Quadrant. (ENT: "Cold Front"; TOS: "Journey to Babel"; DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad")

Components

Stellar system

This was a binary star system. The system consisted of the red dwarfs Wolf 424 A and Wolf 424 B. (ENT: "Cold Front")

Planetary system

In this system, there was the neutral planet Babel. By 2257, this planet's name was used to identify both the location of the planet and its system on Federation star charts. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")

Stellar cartography

The Wolf 424 system was visible from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It was approximately 14 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 episodes, 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.

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)

The current location of Wolf 424 in the Beta Quadrant was based on the most recent star charts seen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Section 31.
