The Beta 6 system was a system located in Federation space. It was located around 900 light years from Earth, on the far side of a star desert. (TOS episode: "The Squire of Gothos") It was a binary star system. The primary was a R, N, or S class star, and the secondary was a moderate-sized yellow star. The system had a brightness of absolute magnitude 1. The Beta 6 system is unnamed. It is therefore named after its primary planet, Beta VI, in the manner presented in Star Trek Maps.
