History and specifics[]
Vulpecula 12 was a desolate system. Its fourth planet Vulpecula 12 IV broke apart thousands of years ago, leaving a debris field with metal core fragments that interfered with sensors.
In 2274, Commander Kolak’s damaged Klingon battle cruiser evaded the pursuing USS Enterprise in the Vulpecula 12 system. The ship dropped out of warp, using debris to remain undetected until it could vaporize a magnesium-laden fragment to disable the starship.
As the Enterprise left the system, it detected an approaching distress beacon sent from the planet Iskonia in a neighboring system. (TOS comic: "Restructuring Is Futile")
