This star system might be associated with the Yridian homeworld and might be near the Yridia Nebula.
The name of this system came from the source material used, the Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library, to create the star charts seen in both Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard. According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 62) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the primary of the Yridia system was a G-class star. In the revised Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library, this system was depicted as being very close to the Yridian Nebula.
