Stellar cartography
The Preenos system was visible from Earth in the constellation Gemini. It was located approximately 58.9 light years from Sol.
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")
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 Preenos system was in or near to Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")
In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Preenos (Rho 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")
