Specifics
Izar orbits a K class orange star. (ST references: Worlds of the Federation, Star Charts)
The system is located in Starfleet Intelligence sector 1. (FASA RPG module: Star Fleet Intelligence Manual)
Fourth planet Izar IV is, in the late 24th century, a holding of the Romulan Star Empire, and a friendly port-of-call for starships of the Romulan Imperial Fleet. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)
- In SFC3 gameplay, this name was part of a list that was applied to planets on the game map, with random attributes assigned to them. Most other Star Trek sources show Izar as being in Federation space, despite this fourth planet of Izar's system apparently harboring Romulans.
