System L-370 was an uninhabited planetary system with a primary orbited by seven planets. It was located near the L-374 system. Both systems were located within the same sector in the Beta Quadrant.
In 2266, the system was charted by the USS Enterprise. The following year, the system was scoured by the planet killer; all seven planets were destroyed. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine")
This system was only mentioned in dialogue.
In the novelization of this episode by James Blish in Star Trek 3, the system was named the M-370 system.
The quadrant of origin for this system was inferred from the trajectory of the planet killer. This ancient machine destroyed, in this order, L-370 and L-374 and the next system targeted was the Rigel system. This system had been established to be in the Beta Quadrant by star charts seen in Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Star Trek: Section 31.
