The Beta Magellan system (also known as the Bynar system) was an inhabited planetary system. This system was located somewhere in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. The system was located near Tarsas III.

Components[]

Stellar system[]

This was a multiple star system. The primary was named Beta Magellan and it had at least one companion.

Planetary system[]

In this system, there was the Bynar homeworld Bynaus. This planet was found in the system's habitable zone.

History[]

In the 22nd century, Doctor Phlox visited this star system and encountered the Bynars and saw the procedure of replacing the parietal lobe with a synaptic processor after their childbirth. (ENT: "Regeneration")

In 2364, after one of the stars in the system supernovaed, the Bynar-hijacked USS Enterprise-D entered into orbit around the planet Bynaus, with a complete copy of the database of the planet's main computer core. The copy had been transmitted to the ship during the journey, to protect the data from the electromagnetic effects of the supernova passing through the planet. With a successful download of the duplicate data, the Bynars averted an extinction-level event. (TNG: "11001001")

In the Bayer designation, which was a system of stellar classification, the Greek letter indicated the brightness of a star in a constellation. In this case, Beta Magellan would be the 2nd brightest star in its constellation.
