Beta Penthe or Rura Penthe^[3] was a star system, located somewhere in the space of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants.

History and specifics[]

The system contained five planets and an asteroid belt. Two planets were class Y and class H, while the other three were class J gas giants. The inhabited Rura Penthe was on a class D asteroid in the asteroid belt. (Star Trek Adventures RPG module: Beta Quadrant Sourcebook)

Sources differed as to the nature of the system's stars. Star Trek Adventures RPG module: Beta Quadrant Sourcebook indicated that Beta Penthe was a binary of two type F2 stars, while Decipher RPG module: Worlds reported that Beta Penthe was a single red dwarf star. It is also a single star in ST video game: Infinite.

The Beta Penthe vicinity was in an area claimed by the Klingon Empire, located at coordinates 33. The system contained tritanium and later raw latinum deposits. (ST video game: Fleet Command)

The system has an ID code of 669580953 in the game software and the player is likely to encounter a Klingon Patrol, Kriosian Rebel, Dessneran Bandit, Arkonian Captain, Klingon Transport, Explorer, Battleship here.

Mapmaker K'tark included this system on his official 2266 star chart of the Imperial Klingon Empire. (ST reference: Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library)

The stellar cartography notation using the name component "Rura" indicates that there might be a star group or constellation of some sort named "Rura", or that these stars and systems are otherwise related in some way. Given that Rura Penthe is a Klingon penal colony, the other names might also be of Klingon origin. They include: Rura Delvis, Rura Fera, Rura Gentra, Rura Ilra, Rura Kolstra, Rura Koris, Rura Merenthe, Rura Mintra, Rura Nora, Rura Tervox, Rura Vestra, Rura Xoran.

In ST video game: Fleet Command Rura Penthe's orbit is between the orbits of the first two planets in the system, while in ST video game: Infinite it is beyond that of the fifth planet.
