The Klingon sun.

The Qo'noS system was a star system located in the Beta Quadrant. Qo'noS, the capital of the Klingon Empire, was located in the system. (Star Trek Into Darkness display graphic)

An NX-class starship could reach the system from Earth in four days at warp 4.5. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

Appendices

Background information

An alternate name for the system, the "Klingon system", was used by Kurn, in a cut scene from TNG: "Sins of the Father".

According to the display graphic from Star Trek Into Darkness the Qo'noS system was located in the Omega Leonis sector block. Omega Leonis is a real star 112 light years away from Earth. The Qo'noS system was presumably located closer to Earth than that, as ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights" marked the first time a starship from Earth had traveled as far as 90 light years from the Sol system.

The primary 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 also 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. Star Trek Maps and The Worlds of the Federation name the star as "Klingon".

Apocrypha

The star is called "K'lai Klinzhai" in FASA's The Klingons and "K'thar" in Decipher's Worlds.

Star Trek Online also refers to this system as the Qo'noS system, and established that Praxis is one of Qo'noS' moons.
