Background[]
The world's coordinates from The Federation would place it in treaty boundary quadrant 2, a.k.a. Starfleet Intelligence sector 2, a region lacking a Klingon border. The later-produced sourcebook apparently retconned its position to quadrant 4/sector 4's Twilight Nebula sector for gameplay.
