The Calder system was an inhabited planetary system in Sector 2158, a region of space in the Beta Quadrant. The system consisted of a primary and four planets, including Calder II. In the 2360s, this planet was home to a Federation science station and historical preserve. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I", "Gambit, Part II")

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart seen in the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. The system's symbol had a blue color, indicating that it had an affiliation with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Spock Amok", "A Quality of Mercy")

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-A in 2401. Calder was in or near to space claimed by the Romulan Free State. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In 2401, the location of Calder was labeled on a star chart that was seen on the USS Stargazer's bridge viewscreen. The chart was used to show the location of the combined Starfleet-Borg armada and where it needed to go to face a galactic-level threat. (PIC: "Farewell")

Later that year, 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")

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 45) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Calder system was a binary system of a F-class star and an A-class star. This system was a stop on the ancient Debrune trade route.
