Background information[]
This colony's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
According to StarTrek.com, the colony was named after either a planet or star named Arawath. [1] The website, additionally, stated the pronunciation for Arawath was "AIR-uh-wath"; however, according to the script pronunciation guide for the episode, Arawath was pronounced as "AIR-a-wath". [2]
The planet model for the Arawath Colony was first used for L-S VI ("The Alternate"), and was later used for Bopak III ("Hippocratic Oath").
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 18-19; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), there was a star system named Arawath, in which this colony might possibly have been located. The primary was a M-class star. According to a map of the Cardassian Union – prepared by an anonymous astrography clerk, from the Cardassian Central Archives, in 2364 – Arawath was identified as a Cardassian system.
Apocrypha[]
In Star Trek Online, the Arawath system was the staging point for the reformed Terran Empire's raids in the prime universe.
