Stellar cartography

In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Lazon 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. (SA: "300th Night", "Rubincon")

This star system was only mentioned in writing.
Information on the system's star came from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"). According to these sources, this was an independent system in the late 24th century. In the latter source, it was stated that on a Cardassian Union star chart – prepared by an anonymous astrography clerk, from the Cardassian Central Archives, in 2364 – that this system was identified as a Cardassian system.
