A province in the equatorial region of Bajor, mentioned in Shadowplay as the site of a new nature preserve and later shown on a map in Star Trek: Picard.
Hedrikspool Province is one of the handful of Bajoran provinces named on screen. In Shadowplay, set in 2370, Vedek Bareil visits Deep Space 9 to speak at the station's shrine, and the two spend much of his stay together.
When conversation turns to his speech on the Eighth Prophecy, Bareil lightly offers to talk instead about the nature preserve that has just opened in Hedrikspool Province. The remark is part of the gentle courtship that begins between them in the episode.
The province appears again in the Picard episode The Star Gazer, set in 2401, labelled on a map of Bajoran archaeological sites that Jean-Luc Picard keeps in his study at Château Picard.
