Star system



A star system, also known as a solar system, a planetary system, or simply as a system, is the area around a star or a group of stars that contains all of the planets, moons, asteroids, nebulae, and other landmarks which are held in place by the star's gravity well. 

Star systems have a habitable zone where the inhabited planets and planets that can be terraformed are located. ( display graphic) A star system's boundaries are marked by the area in which a star or celestial body's gravitational force affects its surrounding environment. The edge of these boundaries may contain an Oort cloud. 

Using warp drive to travel from within a solar system to another point in the system was not recommended. Kira Nerys performed such a maneuver in 2373 in the Bajoran system, against the recommendation of Jadzia Dax. 

In 2254, Spock compared the Talos star group to the Earth solar system.
