The Lyshan system was a star system near the Federation-Cardassian border in the Alpha Quadrant.

In 2369, upon escaping from Celtris III, an away team consisting of Jean-Luc Picard, Beverly Crusher, and Worf were to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D in this system. Aboard the Enterprise, as Captain Edward Jellico was in negotiation with Gul Lemec, he ordered Commander Riker to pilot a shuttlecraft to the rendezvous point. Riker returned to the Enterprise with Crusher and Worf. (TNG: "Chain Of Command, Part II")

Background information[]

This system was only mentioned in dialogue.

This system's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".

According to the script, the pronunciation for Lyshan was "LYE-shin".

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46, "United Federation of Planets I") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), this trinary system consisted of an A-class star, a F-class star, and a G-class star. Within this system, there was a planet named Lyshan. In 2378, Lyshan was listed as a Federation member.

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 492), the Lyshan system was a Federation system.
