Arachnae was a star with an associated star system, located near the Romulan Neutral Zone within Romulan space of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants.
Specifics[]
Arachnae consisted of a G-type star and an orbiting planetary system of seven worlds. Arachnae was the only world in this system capable of supporting lifeforms.
In 2269, on stardate 6451.3, this former Federation system became enveloped by the Romulan Star Empire due to ion storms shifting the position of the Romulan Neutral Zone within the galaxy.
Arachnae was one week's travel from Starbase 11, far enough away that messages took two hours to reach Starfleet. (TOS novel: Vulcan!)
- Star Trek Maps noted it as an M class star with five planets located within the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone.
