Stellar cartography

The 37 Geminorum system was visible from Earth in the constellation Gemini. It was approximately 57 light years from Sol.

In 2154, the position of 37 Geminorum was labeled on an United Earth star chart showing the location of Cold Station 12. (ENT: "Cold Station 12")

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. This system's symbol had a blue color, indicating that it was affiliated with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Children of the Comet", "Spock Amok")

In the early 24th century, 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. The Kantare system was in or near to neutral space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In 3195, this system's position was labeled on a Federation star chart which was displayed in Starfleet Academy's Stellar Cartography laboratory. Systems affiliated with the Federation, including this one, had blue labels. This system was associated with a blue five-pointed star. (SA: "Beta Test")

In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Kantare (37 Geminorum) 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: "Rubincon")

This star system was only mentioned in writing.
Information on this system was derived from the episodes and films, 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.
In 2001, a METI message known as the Teen Age Message was sent from Europe to this system, with the expectation that it will arrive in 2057.
