Beta system (aka C-111 system) aka Gliese 86 is located in the Beta Quadrant in Eridanus constellation.

Beta III is the third moon of Beta Prime in the system at 35.6 LY from Sun.

Beta VI is the seith moon and the second M-class moon.

It is a member of the United Federation of Planets.

 

Beta is near Dramia (10.5 LY), Icari (13.0 LY) and Marcos (16.7 LY).

History

In 2167, Beta III was visited by the Daedalus-class Federation starship, USS Archon, conducting a survey

mission.

The Archon was brought down by Landru and its crew all either absorbed or killed by Landru.

A century later, the USS Enterprise was dispatched to Beta III to ascertain the fate of the Archon

.(TOS episode: "The Return of the Archons")

Starfleet considered using Beta III as a starship maintenence facility in the 2260s.

(SCEeBook: Foundations, Book Two)

In 2267, the USS Enterprise was scheduled to deliver supplies to the colony when it was intercepted

by Trelane's planet Gothos. (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos")

The Beta 6 Colony was flourishing, with a population of 87,000, mostly Humans and Andorians.

It had only class 1 facilities for starship support.

It's a Federation Member since 2378.

The USS Lievin has found USS Archon lost in 2167 on Beta III, with its tractor beam, the USS Archon

was located in orbit.

N.B.

It Was originally the site of an Orion Colony.

Later, it was joined by Human and Andorian settlers (2195).

So I choosed Gliese 86 which is at 34.8 LY from Sun, at 36.4 LY from Andoria and at 34.5 LY from Orion.
