The region of space near Saturn used by Starfleet Academy for flight training, where Nova Squadron's forbidden Kolvoord Starburst kills Cadet Joshua Albert in 2368.
The Academy Flight Range is the area of the Sol system, close to Saturn and its moon Titan, set aside for the flight exercises of Starfleet Academy cadets. It is the setting of the accident investigated in the Next Generation episode The First Duty.
While rehearsing for the commencement ceremony, the five single-seat craft of Nova Squadron collide there and are destroyed. Four cadets, among them Wesley Crusher and squadron leader Nicholas Locarno, beam out to an emergency evacuation station on Mimas, but Joshua Albert is killed.
The cadets tell the inquiry that Albert broke formation during a routine manoeuvre. Recordings from a satellite near the range and the Enterprise-D's own analysis show otherwise: the team had been attempting the Kolvoord Starburst, banned for a century, and Wesley finally admits the truth.
