Betelgeuse
[01] Star Trek Federation Canon History
Betelgeusians are seen throughout Starfleet service in the movie era (The Motion Picture). Starfleet astrometric probes actively monitor its core collapse timeline.
SYSTEM WORLDS & HABITABILITY CLASSIFICATION:
Due to immense stellar variability and eventual supernova danger, inhabited outposts reside far outside the primary radiation envelope on distant mineral moons.
[02] Empirical Astronomical Specifications
A semiregular pulsating red supergiant destined to explode as a Type II supernova within the next 100,000 years. If placed in our solar system, its surface would extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter.
REAL CONFIRMED EXOPLANETS & DEBRIS DISKS:
Extreme mass loss and circumstellar dust shells; no planetary bodies could survive within several AU of this pulsating red supergiant.
