Ghioghe was a Class M planet which lent its name to its star system. It was located at the edge of the Triangle region in the Beta Quadrant, close to the border between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, less than five light-years from Nimbus III. (TOS novel: Enterprise: The First Adventure; Yesterday's Heroes)
The planet and its system were rich in dilithium, and exported the mineral to many worlds and the major powers of the region. Such was its strategic importance that it was in everyone's best interests to protect the system's neutrality. This changed suddenly in 2263, when a group of Orions invaded and annexed Ghioghe, sparking a crisis that nearly plunged the entire quadrant into open war. (Yesterday's Heroes)
