The Mericor system was a planetary system.
In 2368, the USS Denver crash landed on one of the planets in this system after it hit a gravitic mine from the Cardassian War. Responding to the distress calls of the Denver, the USS Enterprise-D entered the system and rescued the survivors. (TNG: "Ethics")
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Mericor system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. This was a system with five stars; three of the stars were A-class stars and two of the stars were K-class stars. In the late 24th century, this was an independent system.
