The Bajoran system, also known as the B'hava'el system, was an inhabited planetary system located inside Bajoran space in the Bajor sector of the Alpha Quadrant. It was a unary star system consisting of the primary B'hava'el and its fourteen planets. One of these planets was Bajor, which was the largest planet in the system and the homeworld of the Bajorans. Near this planet and closer to the center of the system, there was the Denorios Belt, which was a plasma field, and the Bajoran wormhole. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Nagus"; PIC: "Maps and Legends")
History[]
In the 16th century, the Bajorans explored the system using lightships. (DS9: "Explorers")
The Bajoran system became one of the most strategically important locations in the quadrant following the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole in 2369. (DS9: "Emissary")
In 2372, the Klingon Empire attempted to secretly place a cloaked minefield around the Bajoran system, which would have allowed them to cut it off from the galaxy. The minefield was discovered and detonated by the crew of the USS Defiant. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")
The Dominion occupied the Bajoran system (though not Bajor itself) from the beginning of the Dominion War in late 2373, until they were forced out in the aftermath of Operation Return the following year. (DS9: "Call to Arms", "Sacrifice of Angels")
Stellar cartography[]
This system was located approximately thirty thousand light years from the galactic core in the Alpha Quadrant. (Star Trek: Voyager, Season 7 production art [1])
The Bajoran system was located approximately five light years from the Cardassian system. (DS9: "When It Rains...", okudagram)
The system's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan in 2401. The B'hava'el system was in or near to Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")
In 2401, this system's position was labeled on a star chart used by Captain William T. Riker during his attempt at finding the last known location of the SS Eleos XII. (PIC: "The Next Generation")
