==Background==
 
The ''Enterprise'' computer's star chart was a drawing by [[Rick Sternbach]] that had originally been published, years earlier, on page 77 of the non-canon reference book ''[[Spaceflight Chronology]]''. This chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes after the use of [[warp drive]] began. Ross 248 was not a destination on any of the routes.
 
 
Ross 248 is a real star in the constellation Andromeda. Modern scientists have determined it is spectral class M5.5eV.

Spaceflight Chronology starchart 1

The location of Ross 248 on a star chart

Ross 248 was a star that was located approximately ten light years from Sol.

In 2364, the location of Ross 248 was labeled in a star chart of a stellar neighborhood with Sol at the center. This chart was stored in the USS Enterprise-D library computer. Later that year, the chart was scanned by Outpost 63. (TNG: "The Naked Now", production art; TNG: "The Last Outpost")

This star was located in the Andromeda constellation.
This star chart naming stars within 20 light years of Sol was drawn by Rick Sternbach for the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology (p. 77) in the late 1970s. This chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes after the use of warp drive began. There were no commercial or exploration routes to this system.
