Stellar cartography
In the 24th century, this system was part of Valerian trade routes. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Mariah 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 stars came from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385").
The name of the primary came from StarTrek.com. This website placed this system in the Bajor-Cardassia region of the Alpha Quadrant. According to this source and the script for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Dramatis Personae", the pronunciation for Mariah was "muh-RYE-uh". [1] [2](X) [3](X)
