Zeta Sagittarii (also known as Ascella or 38 Sagittarii) is a star system, a trinary star in the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant.
History and specifics[]
This trinary consists of three type F white stars in the constellation of Sagittarius, located 89 light-years from Earth, in the general vicinity of Sabik, Zeta Microscopii, Yed Posterior and Neural. (ST reference: Star Charts)
Zeta Sagittarii's orbit included at least one planet, Mimit, and was not far from Starbase 18 and the Neumenedes system.
In the 2250s, Kzinti hunting parties visited the system annually to hunt Ravagers on Mimit. In 2259, Bebebebeque established a colony in the system, but Kzinti occupied it and turned it into a munitions factory.
In 2274, The Kzinti warship Giant Killer and several Kzinti fighters battled the USS Enterprise in the system, resulting in the destruction of the colony. (TOS comic: "The Wristwatch Plantation")
In the 2370s, Ascella was considered to be along the Federation frontier. (TNG - Cold Equations novel: The Persistence of Memory)
