Alpha Arietis (also known as Hamal, and, to the Romulans, Orundwiir) is a Class K star with a star system in orbit that contains at least four planets, including Hamal IV, a Federation member world and the homeworld of the Hamalki. It is also the site of the fortified Starbase 18 orbital facility. The Hamal planetary system is located in Arietis space, near the strategically important Triangulum sector on the Federation-Romulan border. (TOS - Rihannsu novels: The Wounded Sky, Swordhunt)

This star has also been called El Nath, making it seem like the USS El Nath might be its namesake.
