History and specifics[]
Beta Carinae's orbit included at least six planets and was located within Miaplacidan Alliance space. (TOS comic: "The Quality of Mercy")
In 2204, a prospecting rush in Beta Carinae was started when a natural subspace anomaly was found on a dilithium-enriched asteroid. (TOS - The Janus Gate novel: Present Tense)
In 2266, the USS Enterprise transported medical supplies to Beta Carinae. (TOS novel: Shadow Lord)
In the 2260s, a Federation detention compound was located on Beta Carina VI. (TOS video game: 25th Anniversary)
In 2274, the Enterprise secretly entered the system using an experimental cloaking device and intercepted a Miaplacidan shuttlecraft. A landing party then traveled to Miaplacidus V aboard a replica of the shuttle, where they retrieved Tak Markessan. The Enterprise immediately retreated out of the system at warp 12.
