At a Glance
Star system KIC 8462852 lies 1,468 light-years from the Isonzo star system and is Trailing and Coreward from Federation space with positive z-axis of 312 light-years. That places KIC 8462852 deeply in unexplored Alpha Quadrant space; it is three years of maximum warp travel beyond the most distant explored system to date. At maximum warp, it would take a modern Federation vessel nearly five years to get back to the Federation core.
Yet, KIC 8462852 is somewhat known by Federation scientists- though none have ever been there and its time in the spotlight has long since passed. In the early 21st century, astronomer Tabetha Boyajian, from the Louisiana State University's astrophysics department, used what was known as the Kepler Telescope in what was the standard model of exoplanet discover at the time- studying stellar spectroscopy. The star she discovered sent waves through the media and scientific community at the time. KIC 8462852 had an extremely unusual light frequency variation; it was casually hypothesized and capitalized on by science fiction and UFO conspiracy enthusiasts that star system KIC 8462852 might have an alien megastructure- a theoretical structure known as a "Dyson Sphere"- or more likely a less act of alien megastructure such as a Dyson Ring.
No confirmed or universally accepted theory posited by the cause of the unusual stellar spectroscopy of "Tabby's Star" but the most generally accepted were that KIC 8462852 was a "planet killer" and was in the process of destroying and dispersing planets. Unfortunately, with the rise of World War III and the destruction of most major world governments and space agencies, the mystery was never solved.
