The Saur system was a star system located somewhere in the space of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants.
History and specifics[]
In the 2260s and early 2270s, the Saur system hosted the Hanson Project's laboratory which developed protomatter. By the 2270s, this was an R1 Investigator-class Federation space station.
On reference stardate 2/1312.2, the science vessel Amsterdam suffered fatalities in the Saur system when a sample protomatter container ruptured.
A failed protomatter weapons test in the system killed 43 people and led to a Federation Science Council ban on protomatter research on reference stardate 2/1403.22. (Stardate Magazine vol. 3, Issue 4: "Protomatter: Overview and The Banning Question")
