The Alpha Leonis system (or Regulus system) was a planetary star system. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor"; ENT: "Kir'Shara")

The system was located three hundred light years from the Bajoran system. (DS9: "Fascination")

This system contained planets capable of supporting life; there was a population on Regulus III. Animal life existed in this system, such as the eel-bird of Regulus V. The Regulan bloodworm also originated here. (TOS: "Amok Time", "The Trouble with Tribbles")

In 2154, a Vulcan High Command attack fleet massed in this system in preparation for an abortive preemptive strike against the Andorians. The Regulus system was the closest accessible system that was known to be outside the maximum range of Andorian Imperial Guard listening posts. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")

Christopher Pike once considered retiring and going into business on Regulus or on the Orion colony. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I")

It was unknown to which planet of the Regulus system he was referring.
