History

When the Venari Ral laid Omega-47 mines around the core of Federation space in 3196, this system was within the enclosed region. (SA: "Rubincon")

Stellar cartography

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. The system's symbol had a blue color, indicating that it had an affiliation with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Spock Amok", "A Quality of Mercy")

On stardate 1292.4, the location of this system was labeled on a star chart used during a Section 31 Alpha Team briefing. (Star Trek: Section 31)

The system's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. Bolarus was in or near to Federation Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In 2401, this system's position was labeled on a star chart used by Captain William T. Riker during his attempt at finding the last known location of the SS Eleos XII. (PIC: "The Next Generation")

Location of Bolarus labeled on a star chart (3190)

In 3190, the location of Bolarus was labeled on a star chart used by Commander Paul Stamets for tracking the movement of the Dark Matter Anomaly through the galaxy. (DIS: "The Examples")

In 3196, this system's position was labeled on a Federation star chart which was displayed on the main viewscreen of the USS Athena bridge. Systems affiliated with the Federation, including this one, had blue labels. (SA: "Ko'Zeine")

Later this year, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Bolarus was depicted on star charts and readouts used across several locations on the USS Athena to locate, monitor, and respond to the Omega-47 mines laid by the Venari Ral. (SA: "300th Night", "Rubincon")

Dialog from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "In the Flesh" identified the Bolians as an Alpha Quadrant species. However, the star chart in "Maps and Legends" placed the Bolarus system in the Beta Quadrant.
Further information on this system could be had from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 56 & 66) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography" pp. 14-15; "Dominion War: Strategy and Battles, 2373-75"). This system was threatened by the Dominion from an occupied Benzar between 2374 and 2375.
The current location of Bolarus in the Beta Quadrant was based on the most recent star charts seen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Section 31.
