The Alcor system was an inhabited star system in the Alpha Quadrant.
Components[]
Stellar system[]
This was a binary system consisting of the A-type primary Alcor (the official name of Alcor A) and the red dwarf Alcor B.
Planetary system[]
In the system's habitable zone, there was the inhabited planet Alcor IV.
History[]
The Alcor system was known to Starfleet at least by the 23rd century, although it wasn't yet colonized until the far future.
The Alcor system was a long distance from the location at which the USS Discovery was abandoned for nearly a millennium. The distance was such that crossing it in a Class C shuttlecraft was theoretically possible but a stretch. (ST: "Calypso")
Stellar cartography[]
This system was visible from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It could be found in the asterism Big Dipper and was approximately 82 light years from Sol.
In 2324, the location of Alcor was labeled in a chart used during a Section 31 Alpha Team briefing. (Star Trek: Section 31)
