The Pheben system was a star system in the Beta Quadrant. Located in Klingon space, this was a single star system with a yellow primary.
History[]
In 2365, the Klingon Bird-of-Prey IKS Pagh was conducting undesignated maneuvers in the Pheben system shortly after it rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise-D to pick up exchange officer Commander William T. Riker. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")
Stellar cartography[]
In 2256, this system's location was labeled on the star chart "Alpha/Beta Quadrant Overview" in the ready room aboard the USS Discovery. The system was located in Klingon space. (DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", "The War Without, The War Within")
A year later, its location was labeled on the star chart showing the trajectory of Lieutenant Spock's shuttle. (DIS: "An Obol for Charon")
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.

Background information[]
In the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 63) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 27, 30; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Pheben system was on the front line of the Klingon Civil War in 2367-68. These works classified the system's star as a G-class star. The Pheben 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.
