The Sigma Draconis system was an inhabited planetary system consisting of its primary star and nine planets. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant.

Three planets, Sigma Draconis III, Sigma Draconis IV, and Sigma Draconis VI, were classified as M-class and populated by native species. The other planets in the system – Sigma Draconis I, Sigma Draconis II, Sigma Draconis V, Sigma Draconis VII, Sigma Draconis VIII, and Sigma Draconis IX – were not M-class. There were surveys and long-range scans of this system. Information on the system was stored in the library computers of Federation starships. In 2268, the USS Enterprise entered the system to search for Commander Spock's brain. (TOS: "Spock's Brain")

In 2259, the location of this system was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. The system's symbol was blue, indicating it was affiliated with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Spock Amok")

The system's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. Sigma Draconis system was in or near to Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")

In 2401, the location of Sigma Draconis was labeled on a star chart that was seen on the USS Stargazer's bridge viewscreen. The chart was used to show the location of the combined Starfleet-Borg armada and where it needed to go to face a galactic-level threat. (PIC: "Farewell")

Later that year, this system's position was labeled on a star chart used by Captain William T. Riker during his attempt at finding the last known location of the SS Eleos XII. (PIC: "The Next Generation")

In 3189, the USS Cuyahoga reported Orion and Andorian vessels from the Emerald Chain in the Sigma Draconis system. (DIS: "Die Trying")
