A '''binary star system''' is a [[solar system]] that has two [[star]]s at its center. Usually, the two stars [[orbit]] each other around their common center of [[gravity]], also known as their [[wikipedia:barycenter|barycenter]], but it is also possible for the second star to orbit around the other, in the same manner as a planet would.

A binary star system is a star system that has two stars at its center. The two stars orbit each other around their common center of gravity, also known as their barycenter.

A trinary star system

A trinary star system is a star system made up of three stars. Two or three of the stars may orbit around a common center of gravity, also known as their barycenter. Often, trinary stars consist of a binary pair that orbit each other in relatively close proximity with a third star that is further away, in a more "planetary" style orbit.

In 2152, radiation from a trinary star system caused the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 to obsess over insignificant details and tasks. (ENT: "Singularity")

In 2372, Jadzia Dax asked for Captain Benjamin Sisko's permission to send a science team to investigate a trinary star system. Sisko told her the team could take the USS Rubicon. (DS9: "Accession")
