Federation star charts
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The Federation star charts were a collection of star charts, including all pertinent information about the star systems visited by Federation probes and starships.
In 2269, the USS Enterprise was on outward course beyond the fringe of the galaxy, near Questar M-17 on a star charting mission. (TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star")
In 2370, the USS Enterprise-D investigated a rogue comet in Sector 1156 that was not on Federation charts. (TNG: "Masks")
A star chart of Federation space was displayed at Starfleet Headquarters in 2364. It was located in the room where Dexter Remmick was killed while sending a homing beacon, after he was possessed by neural parasites. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
The same map was seen in the court room on Starbase 173, (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man") the tactical laboratory, (TNG: "The Mind's Eye") Captain Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A (in 2293), (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) the engineering lab, (TNG: "The Game") and the classroom aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
Many TOS and TAS homages were included in the chart which was created by the art department. The chart was also seen in the pilot episode of the British science fiction series The Sarah Jane Adventures in the eponymous main character's attic.

[edit] LCARS star charts
Several star charts appeared in the USS Enterprise-D library computer.
- Spiral galaxy
- This image shows an unnamed spiral galaxy.
This galaxy image was seen in TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 1
- This star chart showed Sol located near the center of the map; the bold lines lead from there to Epsilon Eridani (upper right) and Alpha Centauri A (lower left). Thinner lines lead to other stars, like Sirius A, Tau Ceti, 61 Cygni A and Barnard's star. Other stars depicted are Wolf 359, Procyon A and B, Ross 248, Luyten 789-6, Epsilon Indi, Ross 154, Groombridge 34 A and B, Alpha Centauri B and C, Sirius B, 61 Cygni B and Lalande 21185.
The star chart was taken from page 77 of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, where it was explained as showing Earth commercial lanes (bold lines) and exploration routes (dotted lines) in the 2050s and 2060s. It was seen in TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 2
- This star chart showed text in the upper left corner stating that the transport Diana was plundered there. The text in the upper right corner marked the location where the USS Muleskinner was spacejacked.
The star chart was taken from page 95 of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, where it was explained as showing Federation commercial lanes (bold lines) and exploration routes (dotted lines) in the 2090s. It was seen in TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 3
- This star chart showed text in the upper half of the chart denoting the place where the USS Greyhound encountered a probe from outside the galaxy.
The star chart was taken from page 115 of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, where it was explained as showing Federation exploration routes (dotted lines), close to the rim of Federation space in the 2120s. It was seen in TNG: "The Last Outpost", "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 4
- This star chart shows, in the upper half, the Jewel Stars. Argelius II is identified in the lower right corner of the star chart.
The star chart was taken from page 133 of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, where it was explained as showing a part of Federation space in the 2140s, with the thin lines denoting routes of commercial tourist starliners. It was seen in TNG: "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 5
- This star chart shows points around the supernova of the star Phi Puma, out towards Bayard's Planet, denoted by text in the lower right corner.
The star chart was taken from page 151 of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, where it was explained as showing a part of Federation space in the 2160s, mapping the effects of the Phi Puma nova concussion ring by the year 2165. It was modified slightly (the lines emanating from the rim of the circle were added) to appear on-screen. It was seen in TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star chart 6
- This image shows a star chart.
The star chart was seen in TNG: "Conspiracy".
- Star system 1
- This image shows a planetary system consisting of five planets and one central star. The second planet in the system has an irregular orbit.
The planetary system was seen in TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Datalore" and "Conspiracy".
- Star system 2
- This image shows a planetary system consisting of seven planets and one central star.
- Star system 3
- This image shows a planetary system consisting of one central planet and six orbiting moons.
The planetary system was seen in TNG: "Conspiracy".
- Planet 1
- This image shows a planet with several continents. An orbit of the planet is displayed as well.
- Planet 2
- This image shows parts of the northern hemisphere of a planet with several continents.
The planet was seen in TNG: "Conspiracy".
