Sol system, [[Sol sector]] (Sector 001), [[Alpha Quadrant]]
=== Moons ===It is well known for its rings, and is known (like [[Jupiter]]) to be orbited by many moons. It was also orbited by navigational control satellites.* The rings of Saturn has at least 61 known generated magnetic distortions, which can make a starship invisible to another starship if the vessel could jump out of warp behind one of the planet's moons. Star charts classify this planet as [[Planetary Classification Table#J|Class J]]. It was a charter member of the [[moonUnited Federation of Planets]]s in its [[orbit2161]]. By the mid-[[21st Century]], and hundreds of particularly small natural [[satelliteHuman]]s within its rings. The most prominent of had established a [[colony]] on Titan, Saturn's moons are largest [[moon]]. By the early [[Janus24th century]], a [[Mimasshuttle]], and route had been established from [[TitanJupiter]]to Saturn and back, once a day, every day, known as the "Jovian Run. "
During the early [[21st century]] the first manned [[Earth-Saturn probe]] was launched, under the command of [[NASA]]'s [[Colonel]] [[Shaun Geoffrey Christopher]]. Accompanying Christopher were astronauts [[Fontana]] and [[O'Herlihy (astronaut)|O'Herlihy]].
By the early [[24th century]] a [[shuttle]] route had been established "''from [[Jupiter]] to === Names ===* Sol VI* Saturn and back, once a day, every day,''" know as "''the [[Jovian Run]].''" Both [[Edward Jellico]] and [[Geordi La Forge]] used to [[pilot]] shuttles on this route early in their [[Star Fleet]] careers.
In early [[2367]] the invading [[Borg cube]] passed Saturn on its way towards [[Earth]].
