Canopus (also known as Alpha Carinae) is a star (spectral class: F0 IA). It is the primary of the Canopus system. The location of Alpha Carinae was depicted on a Federation star chart. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
Canopus III was also listed in the chart, far away from Alpha Carinae, suggesting it was not in this system.
In 2267, on stardate 3046, USS Enterprise helmsman Hikaru Sulu used Canopus as a reference point to plot the location of the Enterprise after it was flung five hundred parsecs by the Metrons. (TOS: "Arena")
Its second planet, Alpha Carinae II, was scheduled to be explored by a scientific survey team in 2268. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
