The location of Frazee's Nova on a star chart

Frazee's Nova was a nova in the Beta Quadrant.

In 2293, Frazee's Nova's position was labeled in the star chart for the "Operation: Retrieve" command briefing. The chart was from the Starfleet Command Intelligence Database. This star chart was seen in the office of the Federation President on Earth. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, set artwork)

This nova's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of neighboring locations – Starbase 24 and Rura Penthe – as seen in the star charts appearing in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" and in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
This chart was seen in greater resolution at threads at Flare.Solareclipse.net. [1] [2]
Many of these locations shared their names with the last names of crew who worked on the sixth film. There were three people with the last name Frazee who worked on this movie – Terry D. Frazee (special effects supervisor), his son Donald Frazee (assistant special effects), and his brother Logan Frazee (assistant special effects) – and this nova could have been named after one of them or all of them.
