Ross 614 was a planetary system in the Beta Quadrant.
Components
Stellar system
This was a binary star system. Both the primary Ross 614 A and its companion Ross 614 B were red dwarfs.
Planetary system
In this system, there was the planet Aldus Prime. (ENT: "Cold Front")
History
Sometime before September 2151, a major historical battle took place in this system, at Aldus Prime, and the orange color used for the label "Aldus Prime (Ross 614)" on an United Earth star chart was an indicator for this event. (ENT: "Cold Front")
When the Venari Ral laid Omega-47 mines around the core of Federation space in 3196, this system was within the enclosed region. (SA: "300th Night", "Rubincon")
Stellar cartography
The Ross 614 system was visible from Earth in the constellation Monoceros. It was approximately 13 light years from Sol.
In the 2150s, this system's position was labeled on an United Earth star chart which was displayed in several crew and guest quarters aboard the Enterprise. (Star Trek: Enterprise, set decoration)
In 3196, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Aldus Prime (Ross 614) 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: "300th Night", "Rubincon")
Appendices
Background information
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.
The star chart seen in the series Star Trek: Enterprise made its first appearance in Crewman Daniels quarters in "Cold Front". It was also seen in several other episodes of the series, from 2151 to 2154. (For more information, see Federation star charts#United Earth Alpha/Beta star chart)
The identification of orange with a historic battle was made in the key to the star charts in the Star Trek: Star Charts.
