Alpha Mensa is a star system (spectral class G5V primary), located in the stars of the constellation Mensa visible from Earth, about 10 parsecs (33 light-years) distant.

History and specifics[]

The system has at least five planets, including fifth planet Alpha Mensa V, home to Federation settlers in the 22nd and 23rd century. (TOS novel: Spock, Messiah!, TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)

It was located the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. By the later 24th century, it was denoted in star charts as being within the Romulan Neutral Zone in the Kaleb sector, in the general vicinity of Starbase 39-Sierra and Nelvana III. (ST reference: Star Charts)

The system was described as "Alpha Mensa" in the novel mention. However, the proper genitive name for stars in the Mensa constellation would make it "Alpha Mensae". The system's name was the only description given; other facts about the star here are derived from "real-life" scientific knowledge. As Star Charts included two-dimensional projection maps, it was possible the system was located above or below the ecliptic plane designating Neutral Zone territory.
