The H'atoria system was an inhabited planetary system inside Klingon space in the Beta Quadrant. It was a binary star system containing the planet H'atoria, which was home to a small Klingon colony.

History[]

The Klingons founded a colony in this system. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

In 2016, a Vulcan ship crossed into Klingon space near H'atoria and was immediately destroyed by the Klingons. In the aftermath, Vulcans established a policy of firing first when encountering Klingons, earning their respect and eventually leading to the establishment of formal relations. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello")

While it was not explicitly stated, this was strongly implied to have been the first contact between Vulcans and Klingons.

Stellar cartography[]

In 2256, the system's location was labeled on the star chart "Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview" in the ready room aboard the USS Discovery. It was located in the territory of the Klingon Empire. (DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", "The War Without, The War Within")

A year later, the system's location was labeled on the star chart showing the trajectory of Lieutenant Spock's shuttle. (DIS: "An Obol for Charon")

In 2258, the system's location was labeled on a star chart seen on the main viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. (DIS: "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2")

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. This system's symbol was a red Klingon Empire logo, indicating its affiliation with the empire. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Spock Amok")

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. The H'atoria system was in or near to neutral space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In the script for "All Good Things...", H'atoria was listed in the pronunciation guide, where the term was pronounced "ha-TORE-ee-uh".
Both the Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 56, 67) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 27, 30; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385") identified the H'atoria system as a binary star system consisting of a pair of M-class stars. The H'atoria system was identified as a Klingon system in a star chart created by Scribe K'Tark in the Year of Kahless 893 (2266) for the Klingon High Council.
