Like the single parent star in its center, the Telzar system is very plain, arrayed in a disk shape. When displayed on a sensor readout, the orbital paths of its four planets form clear rings. The inner two orbits are very close together and near to Telzar. The third orbit, containing the M-class planet Tahrik, is further away. The last orbit is exponentially further away, but still in a stable path. A loose collection of comets and other dark matter is detected on both sides of the forth orbit.

The Telzar system is almost equidistant to Klingon, Federation, and Nimbusian space. As such, it has been the target of many diplomatic meetings between the Federation and Klingon governments. Today, the Telzar system is considered to be the property of the Klingons, though continued political friction may be the sign that the Federation intends to reclaim this area.
