Clarus was a trinary star system in the Alpha Quadrant. The primary of this system was named Clarus. It was one of several surrounding systems of Ferenginar.
History[]
When, in 2374, Rom floated the possibility that the Dominion had conquered Ferenginar, Major Kira Nerys countered that it could not have been taken without first conquering systems like Clarus and Irtok. (DS9: "Profit and Lace")
Stellar cartography[]
In 2371, the location of the Clarus system was labeled in the star chart Data and Picard were studying in stellar cartography aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek Generations, 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-A in 2401. Clarus was in or near to Ferengi space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

Background information[]
Further information on this system could be had from the Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"). The stars of the Clarus system were classified as a K-class star, G-class star, and M-class star. In 2378, it was an independent system.
Another very similarly named system, the Clarius system, was also associated with the Ferengi.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 144 identified Arcybite as a planet in this system and located the system near Ferenginar.
The name of the primary came from StarTrek.com. [1](X)
