A star system in a region holding thirteen Federation colonies, which lay in the path of the Klingon sleeper ship T'Ong as its crew prepared to wake in 2365.
The Boradis system is central to the Next Generation episode The Emissary. The special envoy K'Ehleyr informs Picard that the T'Ong, a Klingon warship launched some seventy-five years earlier when the Empire and the Federation were still enemies, is nearing the area with its crew about to emerge from hibernation.
Thirteen colonies lie within its reach, the oldest of them on Boradis III, settled thirty-four years before. A Klingon crew that still believes itself at war could be expected to attack them at once, and no Klingon ship can arrive in time.
The Enterprise races to intercept. Rather than destroy the T'Ong, Worf and K'Ehleyr pose as its new captain and first officer and order Captain K'Temoc to stand down.
