Arcturus
History
Located by accident by Dr Kala Anjar of the Bajoran Institute of Science, the Bajorans have been quick to claim the system as their own. Not much is known about the planet or its history but initial reports indicate it is a Class M planet. Dr Kala Anjar has assembled a team of Bajorans and Captain Samuel Bishop of the United Federation of Planets to find out more information.
