The star of the system was first seen in TNG: "Redemption" as the USS Enterprise-D and IKS Bortas approached Qo'noS. According to the Starfleet Medical Reference Manual, the Klingon homeworld was the planet "Epsilon Sagittarii B". Epsilon Sagittarii is a real star located 143 light years away from Earth. According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (page 56), the star was an orange dwarf located in the Beta Quadrant. Star Trek Maps and The Worlds of the Federation name the star as "Klingon".
