The Explored Galaxy: The location of Regulus

Regulus (or Alpha Leonis) was a star. The location of Regulus was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

In the 2150s, Regulus was located inside Vulcan territory, near the Andorian border. In 2154, for the preemptive strike against Andoria planned by Administrator V'Las, the Vulcan High Command amassed a fleet of twelve cruisers at Regulus. Regulus was chosen because it lay outside the range of Andorian listening stations. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")

Regulan bloodworms are likely organisms originating in the Regulan system. (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights")
