Barnard's Star

Barnard's Star was a red dwarf star approximately 6 light years from the Terran star Sol.

The planet Matanda orbited Barnard's Star. In 2366, Starfleet Science Archaeology Division conducted an archaeological expedition to Matanda, led by Commander Anne Cobry aboard the USS Worsaae (NCC-1821). The Worsaae received orders to proceed to Wolf 359 at best speed to assist in combating the Borg, but a class 9 plasma storm prohibited them from making a hasty departure.


 * According to the book, Barnard's Star is on the opposite side of Sol than Wolf 359 is.
