Stellar cartography

The Edasich system was visible from Earth in the constellation Draco. It was approximately 101 light years from Sol.

In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Edasich (Iota Draconis) 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. This system was outside the affected region. These maps showed this system inside the Venari Ral Zone. (SA: "300th Night", "Rubincon")

This star system was only mentioned in writing.
Information on this system was derived from 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, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The real-world information added to the article was current as of 2026.
As of 2026, there were two confirmed exoplanets in this system and a dust disk. One of these planets, Iota Draconis b, also known as Hypatia, was the first planet discovered to be in orbit around a giant star.
