Gamma Demetrius was a star system located near the Klingon Empire.
History and specifics[]
On reference stardate 1/5105.02 (circa the year 2218), the starship USS Sentry encountered the IKV Devisor near Gamma Demetrius, becoming the first Federation Starfleet vessel to meet with a Klingon warship.
A short battle marked their first contact. (ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology, FASA RPG modules: The Four Years War, The Federation, The Klingons)
- The stellar notation using the Greek language letter "gamma" indicates that there might be a star group or constellation of some sort named "Demetrius", of which Gamma Demetrius would logically be indicated to be the third most prominent star or system, and Alpha Demetrius would be the most prominent.
