Badlands star Edit

This star in the Badlands was orbited by a gas giant that itself was orbited by at least one moon. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")

Beta Magellan system primary Edit

Beta Magellan was a star in the Beta Magellan system. A companion star in this system went supernova in 2364. The supernova occurred earlier than the nearby Bynars anticipated, and the resulting electromagnetic effects disabled their planetary computer on Bynaus. (TNG: "11001001")

Binary stars Edit

These two stars of a binary star system caused only four nights in a month on an orbiting planet. (ENT: "The Catwalk")

Boreth primary Edit

This star was the primary of the planet Boreth. In the 9th century, according to The Story of the Promise, Kahless pointed to this star and informed his followers that they could find him there after he returned from Sto-vo-kor. In the centuries that followed, the Klingons established a monastery on Boreth, awaiting for his return. (TNG: "Rightful Heir")

Borg renegade star Edit

In 2370, the USS Enterprise-D lured a rogue Borg ship into this star's corona and destroyed it with a solar flare. (TNG: "Descent, Part II")

Braslota system primary Edit

This star was the primary of the Braslota system. (TNG: "Peak Performance")

Bringloid system primary Edit

The Bringloid system primary was the primary of the Bringloid system, in the Ficus sector.

The star entered a period of severe flare activity in 2365, which forced the Bringloid V colony to be moved to the Mariposa colony. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")

Cardassian nebula sunEdit

A nebula in Cardassian space contained this single star. (DS9: "Defiant")

Class L planet's sun Edit

An Class L planet where Odo and Quark crash-landed in 2373 had a sun that was described by Quark as not much of a sun. Despite this, it shone light on the planet. (DS9: "The Ascent")

Data's dream star Edit

This star was seen in a dream experienced by Data in 2369. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")

Delta Theta III star Edit

This star was the primary of the planet Delta Theta III.

In 2270, one of the problems solved by the contact team from the USS Enterprise was how the life forms on Delta Theta III were geologically younger, given the age of the star. (TAS: "Bem")

Deinonychus VII sun Edit

This star was orbited by Deinonychus VII. (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas")

Dyson sphere star Edit

This sun was orbited by an asteroid belt that contained the planetoid Gamma Canaris N.

In 2267, one of the sensations the Companion wished to experience after her merging with Nancy Hedford was the warmth of this sun on her face. (TOS: "Metamorphosis")

Genesis Planet sun Edit

This sun was orbited by the ill-fated Genesis Planet. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

Kataan star system primary Edit

The primary of the inhabited Kataan star system went nova approximately a thousand years before the 2360s. This event was heralded by droughts on an inhabited planet in the system, Kataan. (TNG: "The Inner Light")

Kavis Alpha sector binary Edit

This unnamed binary star system in the Kavis Alpha sector consisted of a red giant and a neutron star. Every 196 years, there was a stellar explosion in this system, when the smaller neutron star shedded the accumulated matter it had sucked up from the larger star over the intervening years.

In 2366, this system was the subject of an astrophysical study by Doctor Paul Stubbs. (TNG: "Evolution")

Klingon star Edit

In 2368 during the Klingon Civil War, Kurn used a clever technique of engaging warp drive near this star's surface, causing a solar flare that destroyed the two Klingon pursuers. (TNG: "Redemption II")

When the Crystalline Entity devastated Melona IV, the entity blocked the star due to its sheer size. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")

Monac sun Edit

Monac was the primary of the Monac planetary system.

In 2375, the IKS Rotarran, under the command of General Martok, successfully triggered a solar plasma eruption from the surface of the Monac sun from a magnetic instability near the equator. The resulting explosion destroyed the Monac shipyards, located near the star. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols")

Necro cloud star Edit

The Necro Cloud was located near this star. (Star Trek Beyond)

Operation Return battlefield Edit

The battle between the Federation Alliance and the Dominion over control of Deep Space 9 in 2374 took place in the close vircinity of an unnamed star. The star was located near Bajor. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

Pentarus system primary Edit

The Pentarus system had a sun, which caused very hot temperatures on the habitable Lambda Paz moon located in the system. (TNG: "Final Mission")

Psi 2000 sun Edit

The planet Psi 2000, once remarkably like Earth, became a frozen wasteland after its sun "went dark". (TOS: "The Naked Time")

Romulan system primary Edit

This was the star around which Remus orbited. One side of Remus never saw the sun, and neither did Shinzon while he was exiled there. (Star Trek Nemesis)

Sector 1156 star Edit

This star in Sector 1156 was orbited by the D'Arsay archive that at first appeared to be a rogue comet. (TNG: "Masks")

Supernova of 2387 Edit

In 2387, a star in close proximity to Romulus went supernova, threatening nearby systems. To stop the threat, Ambassador Spock used red matter to create a black hole that consumed the star's energy. Before he could successfully carry out his mission, however, the supernova reached Romulus, destroying the planet and all of its inhabitants. Among those killed were the wife and unborn child of Nero, who swore vengeance against Spock, Vulcan, and the Federation for letting his world die. While Nero confronted Spock, both of their ships were pulled into the black hole that had consumed the star, sending them back in time and resulting in the creation of the alternate reality. (Star Trek)

Apocrypha Edit

Having a supernova threaten the entire galaxy is a physical impossibility under normal circumstances: the law of special relativity limits the shockwave's expansion rate to below the speed of light, meaning it would be a minimum of several years before it affected even nearby stars. The expansion of the blast wave would also result in it weakening and dissipating over time. This means it should be impossible for any such event to cause severe damage to a warp-capable, multi-planetary society such as the Romulan Star Empire, let alone the entire galaxy. This discrepancy was explained several different ways in non-canon works.

In the comic book series Star Trek: Countdown, this star and its system were named "Hobus". The comic explained that the star's galactic threat came from its unusual ability to transform anything it contacted into energy, which it then consumed, increasing its power and causing it to expand farther and faster throughout the galaxy.

The Star Trek novelization instead stated that the star had merely threatened systems in its own vicinity rather than the entire galaxy.

A third explanation appears in the backstory of Star Trek Online, which states that the shockwave from the Hobus explosion propagated through subspace at faster-than-light speeds and reached the Romulan system in just over a day, destroying both Romulus and Remus mere hours into an evacuation expected to take six weeks. A scandal occurred several years later involving rumors that the Vulcan Science Academy knew about the instability of the star but did nothing until Spock attempted to save Romulus with the Jellyfish. The scandal resulted in several resignations and sowed seeds of distrust towards the Vulcans.

It is revealed during the course of Star Trek Online itself that the supernova was not a natural occurrence: the supernova and the unusual behavior of its shockwave were caused by an Iconian-designed doomsday weapon deployed by rogue members of the Tal Shiar. Then-Admiral Taris led the operation but claims to the player character that she was deceived about the nature of the Iconian device by her then-science officer, Hakeev.

In the more recent reference book Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", p. 35), the explosion of Hobus was called a "subspace supernova". This event resulted in the destruction of the entire Romulan star system, with billions killed. The cause of the explosion was unclear. The star was located in the Beta Quadrant. There was some contention on where precisely the star was located. On p. 35, the star was located in the Romulan Neutral Zone. Yet, in the "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385" and "Position of the Romulan Star Empire", the star was located "southeast" of Romulus and quite some distance from the Neutral Zone. On the "Position of the Romulan Star Empire", which was a map of the Romulan Empire – prepared by the Stellar Archive Artist Lsel Essik, from the Romulan Master Data Catalog, in 2366 – Hobus was identified as a Romulan system.
