For other uses, see Cassiopeia.

Cassiopeia is a constellation visible from Earth, named for its characterization as a mythical queen of the same name.

When star-gazing from Sespe in California in the 2270s, James T. Kirk traced over the constellations, through Lacerta, until he found Cassiopeia's border of the Andromeda constellation, moving on to Triangulum constellation near where he knew the too-faint-to-be-seen Romulan homesun would be. (TOS novel: My Enemy, My Ally)
