The Persephone system was a star with an associated system located in the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant.
History and specifics[]
It was positioned on the edge of Federation space. (TOS novel: Pawns and Symbols)
The Persephone system's orbit was the location of eight planets. In 2259, when the USS Enterprise surveyed the system, it encountered the M'hanit comet and a Shepherd ship near third planet Persephone III. (SNW episode: "Children of the Comet")
In 2273, a sabotaged Romulan ship was destroyed near the system. Two survivors landed on second planet Persephone II aboard a shuttle. (TOS novel: Pawns and Symbols)
In the 24th century, its fifth planet Persephone V was a Federation member world. (ST reference: Star Charts)
In 2376, the Genesis Wave traveled through the system, exterminating all pre-existing life on Persephone V. One million refugees were evacuated to Starbase 393. (TNG - The Genesis Wave novel: Book 1)
- It is possible, but not certain, that the events of Genesis Wave were isolated as part of the First Splinter timeline and that the system remains intact in the primary universe.
