AT: "xx" Murasaki 312 was a quasar-like electromagnetic phenomenon. In 2267, it ionized an entire sector, including four solar systems. This quasar, and others like it, generated what was known as the Murasaki Effect. It was located near Makus III.
Sensor readings from the Enterprise attempted to describe Murasaki 312:
- Negative ionic concentration - 1.64×109 meters
- Radiation wavelength - 370 ångströms
- Harmonics - upward along entire spectrum
Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise was under standing orders to investigate formations similar to Murasaki 312, consequently delaying the Enterprise from a medical supply mission to Makus III, and sending the shuttlecraft Galileo to survey the formation. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
In 2367, around stardate 44390,1, the USS Enterprise-D conducted a long-range sensor scan of the Murasaki Quasar. (TNG: "Data's Day")
Later that year, Murasaki 312 appeared on a chart in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. (TNG: "The Wounded" display graphic)
In an alternate 2366, Murasaki 312 was marked on a tactical situation monitor showing the fleet deployments in the Federation-Klingon War. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" display graphic)

The Murasaki Effect (2267)
The location of Alpha Carinae and Makus III on "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart
"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Alpha Carinae was located west of the Tholian Assembly, and Makus III was located between the Assembly and Romulus. Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in this quadrant. The chart, first seen chronologically in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game", and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
