Location
Risa (also known as Epsilon Ceti B II) is the second planet in the Risan system. It is in the Beta Quadrant, relatively near Mazar, Paraaga, Castor, and star FGC-983. (Star Trek: Star Charts)
- Risa may be located in Sector 1045, as the Star Charts show it in the same sector as the Briar patch. Although the angle is looking "down", so this may be an optical illusion caused by the 2-dimensional mapping of 3-dimensional space.
