This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of its star system as seen in the star charts appearing in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" and in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".

"al-DEB-uh-ron" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide for "Prophet Motive".
