Omega Fornacis A is a type M red dwarf star with an associated system of seven planets and 29 moons located within Federation space near the Klingon Empire in the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. It was the home star of the planet Tiburon and the Tiburon civilization. (ST references: Star Trek Maps, The Worlds of the Federation, Star Charts)

History and specifics[]

Omega Fornacis A is the secondary star in the Omega Fornacis binary system, paired with a type B blue star. (ST references: Star Trek Maps, The Worlds of the Federation)

Long ago, the Ucali faction residing on the planet Ucali traveled across Omega Fornacis A's system in sublight spacecraft to the planet Tiburon, where they resettled and conquered its native population.

In 2229, Tiburon joined the Federation. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

In the 2260s, officer Mike Laird attempted to commit suicide following his wife's death by flying his shuttle into Tiburon's sun. (Last Unicorn RPG module: Star Trek: The Original Series Core Game Book)

In the 2270s or 2280s, the R1 Administrator-class space station Resurrection 1 was established near Omega Fornacis A for use as a cemetery. (FASA RPG module: Regula-1 Orbital Station Deckplans)

Background[]

• ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation and ST reference: Star Charts specified Tiburon as the third planet with seven moons, whereas FASA RPG module: The Federation identified Tiburon as the second planet with two moons. It's possible that the planet's orbit was so elliptical that at times it could be considered either the second or the third planet.
