Tranome Sar was a class K orange star in Romulan Star Empire space in the Beta Quadrant, near the border of the Klingon Empire. (ST reference: Star Trek: Star Charts)
History and specifics[]
The Tranome Sar system could be visually seen from Space Station KR-3. In 2311, Elias Vaughn stood in front of a viewport on the space station and tested his memory, naming all the major stars he could see in Romulan space. (ST - The Lost Era novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)
The father of the tactics officer of the IKS Pagh was killed in battle at Tranome Sar in 2360. (TNG episode: "A Matter of Honor")
The warbird IRW Tranome Sar was named for the star. (DS9 - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)
Following the weakening of the Romulan Star Empire amid the Romulan supernova in 2387, the Klingon Empire invaded Romulan space. The Klingons took control of the Tranome Sar and Nequencia systems in 2389. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many, Appendix: The Path to 2409 section)
Taking these systems was a matter of only days. (STO - Call to Arms missions: "History 101: Alpha Quadrant from 2380", "The Lore of the Empire")
In 2390, the Empire decided to halt its advance into Romulan space to refocus on the burgeoning conflict with the Gorn Hegemony but opted to hold on to the territories gained.
In 2391, Praetor Taris forced a retreat of Klingon forces at the nearby Zeta Pictoris but Tranome Sar and Nequencia were not recovered. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many, Appendix: The Path to 2409 section)
The conquest of Tranome Sar and Nequencia was covered in the course "History 101: Alpha Quadrant from 2380" at Starfleet Academy, and "The Lore of the Empire" at Klingon Academy from 2409 onwards. It was recorded on datachip "The Path to 2409: Volume 10, Chapter 2". (STO - Call to Arms missions: "History 101: Alpha Quadrant from 2380", "The Lore of the Empire")
