Omicron Theta star system

The Omicron Theta system was a remote, uninhabited star system in Federation space.

Prior to 2328, colonists from Earth established the Omicron Theta colony on the planet Omicron Theta. The colony's primary mission was scientific in nature. A being known as the "Crystalline Entity" destroyed the colony, as well as all life on the planet, in 2338.

That year, a Federation cruiser, the USS Tripoli, responding to a repeating signal located the inactive body of Data on the planet.

Twenty-six years later, the USS Enterprise-D diverted its course briefly to this system in the search of answers as to Data's origins and the events leading up to the death of the colony. In the course of their investigations, they recovered the body of Lore. (TNG: "Datalore")

The system map used for Omicron Theta was a reused map. It was first used as a map for the Maxia Zeta system in "The Battle". It would be modified and used later for the Mira Antlia system in "Conspiracy" and for the Tau Cygna system in "The Ensigns of Command".

According to the script for "Silicon Avatar", the pronunciation for this system was ohm-ih-kron THAY-tah. [1].

Whether Theta Omicron IV, which was listed on a viewscreen briefly visible in DS9: "Whispers", is in any way related to the Omicron Theta system is not known.
