Lya Station Alpha was a Federation Spacedock-type space station orbiting a planet in the Alpha Quadrant, near Merak, Kressari, Tagra, and Capella. It had been in service with Starfleet since at least the mid-23rd century. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds")
In 2259, the location of this space station was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Children of the Comet", "Spock Amok")
In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D traveled to Lya Station Alpha with survivors from the attack on the Solarion IV colony. Ensign Ro Laren came aboard the Enterprise at this station, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard met with Admiral Kennelly there regarding suspected Bajoran terrorist activity. (TNG: "Ensign Ro")
The station's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. Lya Station Alpha was in or near to Federation space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")
